Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a detailed description of more than thirty-five wildflower species of the Northeast, describing their colors, habitats, range, pollination, history, cultural lore, medicinal uses, and literary and artistic references. The spring-blooming wildflowers looked at range from old favorites to lesser-known species. Featuring more than 500 full-color photos in large-sized format, the book delves deep into the life histories, lore, and cultural uses of more than 35 plant species. The narrative covers topics such as the naming of wildflowers; the reasons for taxonomic changes; pollination of flowers and dispersal of seeds; uses by Native Americans; related species in other parts of the world; herbivores, plant pathogens, and pests; medicinal uses; and wildflower references in history, literature, and art. The photos capture the beauty of these plants and also illustrate the concepts discussed in the text.

This book was released on with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genetics is a fascinating and complex field, which reveals the secrets of the genetic code present in every living being. Through the investigation of genes and their interaction with the environment, we are able to better understand the biological processes that shape our existence. In this book, we'll explore the wonders and challenges of genetics, as well as its applications in areas such as medicine, criminal investigation, and genetic engineering. The first part of this book will take us through the intricate world of the genetics of aging and longevity. We will investigate the genetic mechanisms that determine the rate of aging of organisms and explore the possibilities of prolonging a healthy life. We'll discover how the latest research is unlocking the mysteries of aging and offering new insights into human longevity. Then we will enter the field of genetic engineering and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). We will explore the innovative techniques that allow the manipulation of DNA and the creation of organisms with specific characteristics. We'll see how this technology is revolutionizing agriculture, medicine, and industry, while raising important ethical and environmental questions. Forensic genetics will also gain prominence on our journey. We will investigate how DNA analysis has become a powerful tool in solving crimes, unraveling mysteries and assisting in the pursuit of justice. We'll discover how technological advances are revolutionizing criminal investigation and providing a deeper understanding of the genetic bonds between individuals. Entering the field of health, we will explore the genetics of neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, autoimmune and psychiatric disorders. We will understand how genes play a key role in the development of these diseases and how this understanding can open the way to more effective treatments and prevention strategies. In addition, we will investigate pharmacogenomics and precision medicine, examining how genetic individuality influences individuals' response to medications, enabling personalized and more effective treatments. We'll also cover the genetics of metabolism and obesity, sleep disorders, and the genetic implications for these conditions. The second part of this book will take us on a philosophical journey into the world of the mind. We'll explore debates about the nature of consciousness, the mind-body problem, reductionism, and dualism. We will investigate the relationship between the mind and the brain, the question of personal identity over time, and the philosophical implications of the mind in relation to artificial intelligence, free will, neuroscience, qualia, and even animal consciousness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Scholars and policymakers alike agree that innovation in the biosciences is key to future growth. The field continues to shift and expand, and it is certainly changing the way people live their lives in a variety of ways. But despite the lion's share offederal research dollars being devoted to innovation in the biosciences, the field has yet to live up to its billing as a source of economic productivity and growth. With vast untapped potential to imagine and innovate in the biosciences, adaptation of the innovative model is needed. In The Biologist's Imagination, William Hoffman and Leo Furcht examine the history of innovation in the biosciences, tracing technological innovation from the late eighteenth century to the present and placing special emphasis on how and where technology evolves. Place is key to innovation, from the early industrial age to the rise of the biotechnology industry in the second half of the twentieth century. The book uses the distinct history of bioscientific innovation to discuss current trends as they relate to medicine, agriculture, biofuels, stem-cell research, neuroscience, and more. Ultimately, Hoffman and Furcht argue that, as things currently stand, we fall short in our efforts to innovate in the biosciences; our system of innovation is itself in need of innovation. It needs to adapt to the massive changes brought about by converging technologies, globalization in higher education as well as in finance, and increases in entrepreneurship. The Biologist's Imagination is both an analysis of past models for bioscience innovation and a forward-looking, original argument for how future models should be developed"--

Book excerpt: One Hundred Years of Chromosome Research: What Remains to be Learned, offers the reader a critical analysis of the observations and experiments that shaped the last 100 years of chromosome research, as well as the ideas which prevailed during this period. Emphasis is placed on what remains to be learned, particularly in light of reality of the sequencing of DNA which leaves the previous era of chromosome research as a prehistoric event. It is at this turning point, that well formulated questions can be asked about many of the chromosome's properties, which remain to be unveiled. The author, Lima-de-Faria is Professor Emeritus of Molecular Cytogenetics at Lund Unviersity, Sweden, previously Head of the Institute of Molecular Cytogenetics, Lund University.
