Book Description

This book is a brief guide through the core concepts of how genes are structured and how they drive biological diversity. This course can be used as a guide for introductory biology students, as a reference for advanced students, or as a self-guided exploration for general science enthusiasts.

Topics covered include the nature of DNA and its relationship to the physical characteristics of organisms; the passage of DNA from organism to organism; and the variation of DNA within and across populations of organisms.

• DNA Replication and Human Disease (JMelvin L. DePamphilis )

  With only two exceptions, the genome is replicated once and only once each time a cell divides. How is this feat accomplished? What happens when errors occur? This book addresses these questions by presenting a thorough analysis of the molecular events.

• RNA, the Epicenter of Genetic Information (John Mattick, et al)

  Documents the confused early history of DNA, RNA and proteins - a transformative history of molecular biology like no other. Integrates the influences of biochemistry and genetics on the landscape of molecular biology.

• RNA Interference (Ibrokhim Y. Abdurakhmonov)

  RNA Interference (RNAi), a hallmark of all biological sciences of twenty-first century, is an evolutionarily conserved and double-stranded Rna-dependent eukaryotic cell defense process. This book provides an overview of RNAi in various organisms.

• Genomes (Terence A. Brown)

  This book covers modern molecular genetics from the genomics perspective, including the sequencing of the human genome, characterization of genome expression and replication processes, and transcriptomics and proteomics.

• The Amazing Journey of Reason: from DNA to Artificial Intelligence

  This book analyses the evolution of complex structures (Organisms, or organized, living, systems) in the universe - from the subatomic particles after the Big Bang onwards - in order to understand the emergence of today's interconnected society.

• Routledge Handbook of Chinese Medicine (Vivienne Lo, et al.)

  This book is an extensive, interdisciplinary guide to the nature of traditional medicine and healing in the Chinese cultural region, and its plural epistemologies. It will be of interest to practitioners, patients and specialists, etc.

• Human Physiology (Wikibooks)

  It provides an introductory explanation of the workings of the human body, with an effort to draw connections between the body systems and explain their interdependencies. The focus is homeostasis and how the body maintains balance within each system.

• A Companion to Digital Humanities (Susan Schreibman, et al)

  This book is focusing on applying computational methods to humanities research problems; the basic principles of humanities computing across applications and disciplines; specific applications and methods; and production, dissemination, and archiving.

• Mind Hacking: How to Change Your Mind for Good in 21 Days

  Teaches you how to reprogram your thinking - like reprogramming a computer - to give you increased mental efficiency and happiness. Learn to take charge of your mind and banish negative thoughts, habits, and anxiety - in just 21 days!

• Paths: Why is Life Filled with so many Detours?

  This book explores the amazing similarity between paths taken by people and many other things in life, and its impact on the way we live, teach and learn. Offering insights into the new scientific field of paths as part of the science of networks, etc.

• Aging by Design (Theodore Goldsmith)

  Why do we age? How do we age? These questions have baffled scientists for centuries and remain unresolved. The book goes on to discuss observations and experiments that offer clues as to the nature of biological aging mechanisms.

• Applied Psychology: On The Driving Power Of Thought

  A classic psychology essay that explains why a successful business man in his eighties still wakes up early and reads the papers. It is a matter of developing good habits that makes people successful. This book will teach you how to develop the habits that lead to success.

• In the Light of Evolution: Brain and Behavior

  This book focuses on the field of evolutionary neuroscience that now includes a vast array of different approaches, data types, and species. Understanding evolution is a key to unlocking cancer, viruses, diseases and even Artificial Intelligence.

• Mind, Body, World: Foundations of Cognitive Science

  Intended to introduce the foundations of cognitive science, this book addresses a number of questions currently being asked by those practicing in the field of cognitive science. It highlights the fundamental tensions and lines of fragmentation of cognitive science.

• Quantum Computing for the Quantum Curious

  This open access book makes quantum computing more accessible than ever before. It bridges the gap between popular science articles and advanced textbooks by making key ideas accessible with just high school physics as a prerequisite.
