This book is unique in that it takes a molecular first approach. It starts with DNA and moves through the genetic expression at the molecular level before turning to the more traditional Mendelian and Neomendelian transmission genetics. This book emphasizes what the reader should come to understand, not simply memorize. In addition to topics traditionally covered in genetics, this book provides cutting edge information on Bioinformatics and Proteomics, as well as a chapter on advanced topics in Molecular Genetics.

Genetics: A Molecular Perspective

Klug, William S.

Cummings, Michael R.

Biological Sciences

For Calculus-based Physics courses. This text is designed for a calculus-based physics course at the beginning university and college level. It is written with the expectation that students have either taken or are currently taking a beginning course in calculus. Students taking a physics course based on this book should leave with a solid conceptual understanding of the fundamental physical laws and how these laws can be applied to solve many problems. The key word for this edition is "understanding." The third edition of this text remains rigorous while including a number of new pedagogical elements which emphasize conceptual understanding.

Physics: for Scientists and Engineers with Modern Physics, Third Edition

Wildlife Ecology and Management

Bolen, Eric G.

Robinson, William Laughlin

Balancing coverage of both classical and modern genetics, this book presents a succinct overview of genetics. Known for a clear writing style, an emphasis on concepts, and thoughtful coverage of all areas of genetics, the authors capture readers' interest with up-to-date coverage of cutting-edge topics and research. The new edition features "How Do We Know What We Know?" boxes to focus readers on the experimental aspects of genetics. This book covers the latest information on genetics, such as genomics, conservation genetics, sex determination and sex chromosomes, genomics and proteomics,molecular genetics, and population genetics. It will appeal to evolutionarily-oriented professionals in the biological sciences, zoology, agriculture, and health science fields.

Essentials of Genetics

This reader-friendly, best-selling exploration of vertebrate life focuses on how vertebrates work, integrating ecology, behavior, anatomy, and physiology in an evolutionary context. Shows readers how animals work and how they got to be the way they are. Provides information about conservation and endangered species status; stresses the importance of good biological information for management and legislation. Features extensive and up-to-date citations of the original literature. Emphasizes conservation throughout: includes application of basic biological information about organisms in programs of captive husbandry and management of threatened and endangered species; provides examples of successes and failure in these areas; includes speculative proposals for further applications. Offers a Companion Website that contains up-to-date links for each chapter. A fascinating reference for anyone interested in the evolution of life on earth.

Science, Nature & How It Works

Conceptual Physical Science-- Explorations

Conceptual Physical Science: Explorations presents a clear and engaging introduction to physics, chemistry, astonomy, and earth sciences. The authors use analogies and everyday examples to clarify key concepts and help readers better understand the world around them. The book's consistent, high-quality coverage combines active learning with critical thinking exercises, hands-on experiments, review questions, and quantitative problems. Hands-On Explorations, found throughout the book, promote active learning by allowing readers to apply concepts they have learned. These easy-to-perform experiments, which use common household products, can be conducted at home. For college instructors and students, or anyone interested in chemistry, earth science, astronomy, and physics.
