Science in Arcady
Foundations of Comparative Genomics
Author: Arcady R. Mushegian
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080546099
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
This book provides an overview of computational analysis of genes and genomes, and of some most notable findings that come out of this work. Foundations of Comparative Genomics presents a historical perspective, beginning with early analysis of individual gene sequences, to present day comparison of gene repertoires encoded by completely sequenced genomes. The author discusses the underlying scientific principles of comparative genomics, argues that completion of many genome sequences started a new era in biology, and provides a personal view on several state-of-the-art issues, such as systems biology and whole-genome phylogenetic reconstructions. This book is an essential reference for researchers and students in computational biology, evolutionary biology, and genetics. - Presents an historic overview of genome biology and its achievements - Includes topics not covered in other books such as minimal and ancestral genomes - Discusses the evolutionary resilience of protein-coding genes and frequent functional convergence at the molecular level - Critically reviews horizontal gene transfer and other contentious issues - Covers comparative virology as a somewhat overlooked foundation of modern genome science

The Scientifiction Novels of C.S. Lewis
Author: Jared Lobdell
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786483865
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
Used by C.S. Lewis himself, the term "scientifiction" is revived here as it once encompassed not only what we call science fiction, but also that indeterminate field of the 1940s and 1950s sometimes referred to as science fantasy (leading up to Ray Bradbury), along with a portion of that great realm that has come, since the advent of The Lord of the Rings, to be called fantasy. Rather as an eighteenth-century novel may pre-date the divide between novel and romance, so C.S. Lewis's "interplanetary" novels may be considered to pre-date the modern divide between fantasy and science fiction and thus be thought of as "scientifictional" in nature. The stories dealt with are those in which Elwin Ransom is a character, the three usually called the "space trilogy": Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength--and the time-fragment entitled The Dark Tower. Lengthy chapters are devoted to each of the four Ransom stories. The book presents a study of Lewis, the nature of science fiction, the nature of Lewis's "Arcadian" science fiction and his (and its) place in English literary history.
