Interpersonal Skills argues that a distinguishing factor between the successful and unsuccessful manager is his or her level of interpersonal competence. Research has demonstrated that people who are able to consciously manage the way they relate to others are much more successful in terms of achieving their goals. With this in mind, the book aims at increasing our awareness of those techniques which will help us to manage working relationships more effectively. John Hayes uses practical examples and illustrations to explain how we can learn to read the actual or potential behavior of others and use this knowledge to our advantage in the workplace. Some of skills examined in detail are listening to nonverbal messages, information-getting, explaining, presenting, helping, influencing negotiating, and working with groups.

Interpersonal relationships have been systematically studied in North America and Europe for about 80 years, yet many theorists have avoided the thorny task of charting the origins or causes of social relations and individual styles of relating. Thebelief that the child's interpersonal style is moulded by the parents' discipline and the example they set is deeply ingrained in Western culture. The values of parents in bringing up a child are combined with the values repersented by school and society.Many authorites, however, now reject the idea that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the way children are raised and the persons they become, or, at least, recognize that the issue is more complex than it once seemed. The purpose of this book is to equip the reader to understand the dynamics by which these contexts - home, school and culture - may come to influence the emergence of the child's social competence. The theoretical foundations and scope of relevant research are depicted, and critized, in a constructive way.

Feelings and emotions can play a major role in many social judgments and decisions. This book surveys and integrates the most recent work by leading psychologists on how emotions come to influence thinking and judgments. The role of emotions in interpersonal judgments about health and illness and in social decisions receive particular attention. Previous publications in this field have focused on either social judgments or emotional influence. This is the first book to integrate the two. It is organized in three main sections. The first looks at different conceptual approaches to the connection between emotion, mood and judgments. The second integrates and extends these basic theories, seeking to present a broader, more critical view of how feelings affect social judgments. The final section integrates well-defined theoretical models and their application in research.

Molecular and Cellular Biology of Viruses

Viruses interact with host cells in ways that uniquely reveal a great deal about general aspects of molecular and cellular structure and function. Molecular and Cellular Biology of Viruses leads students on an exploration of viruses by supporting engaging and interactive learning. All the major classes of viruses are covered, with separate chapters for their replication and expression strategies, and chapters for mechanisms such as attachment that are independent of the virus genome type. Specific cases drawn from primary literature foster student engagement. End-of-chapter questions focus on analysis and interpretation with answers being given at the back of the book. Examples come from the most-studied and medically important viruses such as HIV, influenza, and poliovirus. Plant viruses and bacteriophages are also included. There are chapters on the overall effect of viral infection on the host cell. Coverage of the immune system is focused on the interplay between host defenses and viruses, with a separate chapter on medical applications such as anti-viral drugs and vaccine development. The final chapter is on virus diversity and evolution, incorporating contemporary insights from metagenomic research. Key selling feature: <ul>
<li>Readable but rigorous coverage of the molecular and cellular biology of viruses</li> <li>Molecular mechanisms of all major groups, including plant viruses and bacteriophages, illustrated by example</li> <li>Host-pathogen interactions at the cellular and molecular level emphasized throughout</li> <li>Medical implications and consequences included </li> <li>Quality illustrations available to instructors</li> <li>Extensive questions and answers for each chapter</li>

The Human Genome in Health and Disease: A Story of Four Letters

The human genome is a linear sequence of roughly 3 billion bases and information regarding this genome is accumulating at an astonishing rate. Inspired by these advances, The Human Genome in Health and Disease: A Story of Four Letters explores the intimate link between sequence information and biological function. A range of sequence-based functional units of the genome are discussed and illustrated with inherited disorders and cancer. In addition, the book considers valuable medical applications related to human genome sequencing, such as gene therapy methods and the identification of causative mutations in rare genetic disorders. The primary audiences of the book are students of genetics, biology, medicine, molecular biology and bioinformatics. Richly illustrated with review questions provided for each chapter, the book helps students without previous studies of genetics and molecular biology. It may also be of benefit for advanced non-academics, which in the era of personal genomics, want to learn more about their genome. Key selling features: <ul>
<li>Molecular sequence perspective, explaining the relationship between DNA sequence motifs and biological function</li> <li>Aids in understanding the functional impact of mutations and genetic variants</li> <li>Material presented at basic level, making it accessible to students without previous studies of genetics and molecular biology</li> <li>Richly illustrated with questions provided to each chapter</li>

Biology of Aging

Biology of Aging, Second Edition presents the biological principles that have led to a new understanding of the causes of aging and describes how these basic principles help one to understand the human experience of biological aging, longevity, and age-related disease. Intended for undergraduate biology students, it describes how the rate of biological aging is measured; explores the mechanisms underlying cellular aging; discusses the genetic pathways that affect longevity in various organisms; outlines the normal age-related changes and the functional decline that occurs in physiological systems over the lifespan; and considers the implications of modulating the rate of aging and longevity. The book also includes end-of-chapter discussion questions to help students assess their knowledge of the material. Roger McDonald received his Ph.D. from the University of Southern California and is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Nutrition at the University of California, Davis. Dr. McDonald’s research focused on mechanisms of cellular aging and the interaction between nutrition and aging. His research addressed two key topics in the field: the relationship between dietary restriction and lifespan, and the effect of aging on circadian rhythms and hypothalamic regulation.
