This book provides fascinating insights into actinomycetes and their synthesis of bioactive molecules like enzymes and nanoparticles. Microorganisms are a huge reservoir of resources for innovative applications and should be explored for antibiotics, enzymes, and nanoparticles.
The Determination of a Lifespan
Human lifespan differs by as much as 30 years across the world due to factors like meals, disease, and genes. This book clarifies these factors and suggests how to live longer. It also surveys animals and plants living for 10,000 years or longer.
The Galápagos for University Students
An essential field guide for students and instructors. Explore the Galápagos through thought-provoking questions on Darwin, conservation, and climate change, complete with discussion prompts and projects for on-site observation.
The Genome of an Organism
This book explains the fundamental processes of evolutionary genetics, such as mutation, natural selection, and speciation. It provides an up-to-date overview of the field, discussing the theories of Darwin and Mendel, adaptation, and the origin of new genes.
The God Molecule
Transfer RNA (tRNA) is a molecular fossil that tells the story of the evolution of the genetic code and the origin of life. Analysis of its pre-life sequences provides clear insights into how life began and shows why tRNA is required to generate life on Earth or another planet.
The Impact of Genomic Variations on Human Health
Genomics is changing how we understand, predict, and treat disease. This book explores how advances in sequencing, data science, and AI are creating personalized medicine, while looking at the crucial problems of equity, ethics, and access.
The Physics of Living Systems
Cells are smart. The penalty for failure is death. Constrained by the Laws of Physics, they turn what could be a molecular cacophony into a symphony without a conductor. Understanding this beautiful and awe-inspiring process is the goal of this book.
Existing textbooks on endocrinology do not link theory to the practical world, leading to a lack of applicable knowledge. Smirnova reduces the gap between theoretical knowledge and its practical applications in the management of endocrine disorders.
Contributors to this book accept an evolutionary account of life, mind and religion. However, they hold divergent views on the relation of mind to brain, the validity of religious belief, and how even Christ may be seen as an aspect of the evolutionary process.
Ageing is not a disease. In an era of unfulfilled social care, this book presents an anthropological view that focuses on three essential conditions of human life that become vulnerable with advancing age: relating to others, being in the world, and leaving a legacy.
What Is Life and What Is Consciousness
What is life? What is consciousness? This book tackles these age-old questions with a new concept: matter-related information. It demonstrates that information is an indispensable contributor to the organization and functionality of all living systems.
Evolution is the mesh that connects every biological phenomenon. This book highlights how evolutionary science provides practical applications and tools to deal with current problems concerning humanity, such as disease, food production, and environmental destruction.
