The new third edition of An Introduction to Behavioral Endocrinology retains all of the features of the bestselling prior editions, and provides an updated, integrated presentation of the study of hormone-behavior interactions. Continuing to emphasize a comparative approach, the text explores the endocrine mechanisms that have evolved in both human and nonhuman animals to solve common problems in survival and reproduction. The text describes hormone-behavior interactions from a historical perspective, emphasizing connections among key theories and tracing the emergence of important hypotheses. The book is organized around the conceptual theme that hormones may affect behavior by influencing one or more of three "components" of behaving animals: input mechanisms, such as sensory or perceptual processes; the central processing mechanisms of the nervous system (either directly, or by affecting its development or structure); and output mechanisms, such as effectors or peripheral structures. Despite increased coverage of molecular and cellular approaches, the book retains its accessibility for non-biological science students. An Introduction to Behavioral Endocrinology, Third Edition is appropriate for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in psychology, biology, anthropology, or zoology. It contains several important pedagogical features. The text is richly illustrated with photographs and drawings. Key terms are identified and defined in the text, and summaries at the end of each chapter restate important points. Discussion questions and suggested further readings are also included in each chapter. The text contains over 2,000 references to the literature in behavioral endocrinology.

A pulse-racing international thriller from the "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Expats "and" The Accident" It s 3:00am. Do you know where your husband is? Meet Will Rhodes: travel writer, recently married, barely solvent, his idealism rapidly giving way to disillusionment and the worry that he s living the wrong life. Then one night, on assignment for the award-winning "Travelers" magazine in the wine region of Argentina, a beautiful woman makes him an offer he can t refuse. Soon Will s bad choices and dark secrets take him across Europe, from a chateau in Bordeaux to a midnight raid on a Paris mansion, from a dive bar in Dublin to a mega-yacht in the Mediterranean and an isolated cabin perched on the rugged cliffs of Iceland. As he s drawn further into a tangled web of international intrigue, it becomes clear that nothing about Will Rhodes was ever ordinary, that the network of deception ensnaring him is part of an immense and deadly conspiracy with terrifying global implications and that the people closest to him may pose the greatest threat of all. It s 3:00am. Your husband has just become a spy."

This film is designed for any biologist interested in cells. Images are dynamic and almost all are in colour. They comprise about half those published in the laser disc "Living Cells: Structure, Diversity, and Evolution". The tape should be particularly useful for teaching about cells and cellular function at sixth-form or university level.

Life: The Science of Biology

Purves, William K. & Gordon H. Orians & H. Craig Heller

Establishing that biology is a dynamic discipline, not just a collection of facts, this text focuses on students' conceptual understanding of biological processes. This new edition features: new chapters on human genetics and "Protection in Plants"; more than 800 full-colour photographs, including new chapter openers and 200 new images; and summary outlines with most items keyed to illustrations for easier self-review.

As in previous editions of this textbook, the 5th edition shows biology not as a collection of facts, but as a dynamic discipline. The student's understanding of biological processes is developed through pedagogy, using narrative, experimental contexts and art within the scholarship. This edition contains new artwork incorporating biological "storyboards"; new chapters on molecular evolution, higher brain functions and animal embryology; and genetics coverage expanded by new co-author and genetics specialist, David Sadava. The student CD-ROM - "Life: the science of biology 5.0: Molecules, Cells, and Genes" has more than 1500 topics and has been class-tested. It includes self-quizzes, an audio pronunciation guide for more than 300 terms, and 40 minicourses expanding on the book's coverage of topics from mitosis to genetics information.
