Biology of Termites: a Modern Synthesis: Biology of Termites, a Modern Synthesis brings together the major advances in termite biology, phylogenetics, social evolution and biogeography. In this new volume, David Bignell, Yves Roisin and Nathan Lo have brought together leading experts on termite taxonomy, behaviour, genetics, caste differentiation, physiology, microbiology, mound architecture, biogeography and control. Very strong evolutionary and developmental themes run through the individual chapters, fed by new data streams from molecular sequencing, and for the first time it is possible to compare the social organisation of termites with that of the social Hymenoptera

Biology of soil science: "Biology of Soil Science" is an important branch of agriculture which deals with studies of different areas like soil physics; soil chemistry; soil fertility and plant nutrition; soil survey, genesis and classification, soil mineralogy, etc. It is, therefore, essential that this valuable natural resource is understood and conserved properly for sustained agricultural production in India. National agricultural production is mainly dependent upon one of the important natural resource like "soil". The maintenance and improvement of soil productivity for sustained agricultural production necessitates the acquisition thorough knowledge of soil science. Therefore, the teaching of soil science is one of the most important factors for the agricultural development of the country, because the soil is involved in every kind of farming.

The Science of Biology: Especially helpful for AP Biology students each chapter of the study guide offers a variety of study and review tools. The contents of each chapter are broken down into both a detailed review of the Important Concepts covered and a boiled-down Big Picture snapshot. The guide also covers study strategies, common problem areas, and provides a set of study questions (both multiple-choice and short-answer).

Physical Biology: From Atoms to Medicine: This book brings about the confluence of various concepts and tools to address significant problems of our time in physical biology and adjacent disciplines. The volume is structured to provide a broad perspective on current state-of-the-art methods and concepts at the heart of chemical and biological behavior, covering the topics of visualization; theory and computation for complexity; macromolecular function, protein folding, and protein misfolding; molecular recognition; and systems integration from cells to consciousness.

Cancer Systems Biology: The unprecedented amount of data produced with high-throughput experimentation forces biologists to employ mathematical representation and computation methods to glean meaningful information in systems-level biology. Applying this approach to the underlying molecular mechanisms of tumorigenesis, cancer researchers can uncover a series of new discoveries and biological insights.

The First Cancer Systems Biology Book Designed for Computational and Experimental Biologists
Unusual in its dualistic approach, Cancer Systems Biology discusses the recent progress in the understanding of cancer systems biology at a time when more and more researchers and pharmaceutical companies are looking into a systems biology approach to find drugs that can effectively be used to treat cancer patients.

Structural Biology Using Electrons and X-rays: An Introduction for Biologists: This book, suitable for advanced undergraduates or graduate students, provides an accessible introduction to the two major diffraction-based techniques of structural biology. While concentrating on electron cryo-microscopy with image analysis, it also includes X-ray crystallography in a coherent survey of fundamental principles. Starting with Fourier transforms and progressing through optics and imaging principles, symmetry and three-dimensional reconstruction theory, Structural Biology Using Electrons and X-rays ends in an account of the latest methods adapted to crystals, helices, viral heads, and single particles.

Biology,Physiology,Anatomy: The human body is an incredibly complex and amazing structure. At best, it is a source of strength, beauty, and wonder. We can compare the healthy body to a well-designed machine whose parts work smoothly together. We can also compare it to a symphony orchestra in which each instrument has a different part to play. When all of the musicians play together, they produce beautiful music.
