During the past decade, the central focus of evolutionary theory has undergone a radical shift. "Darwin to DNA, Molecules to Humanity" offers a synthesis of the new perspectives provided by studies in molecular biology, ecology, sociobiology and ethology. Professor Stebbins' central theme is that evolutionary change results from successful responses to challenges posed by the physical, biotic and cultural environment. Written for the nonspecialist, the book is particularly appropriate for use in evolution and related courses and is intended for anyone interested in a current account of biological and cultural evolution.

This is not a German edition, printed in US in English. ISBN 0716716941 From the introduction" The topics I have selected for this monograph reflect the the content of a neurochemistry course taught to third-year undergraduates at Imperial College, London. The references to the literature should also render the text useful to more advanced researchers... My intention has been to provide a summary of current knowledge curent knowledge... One advantage of a single-author textbook is opportunity it provides to integrate related topic... I have inserted appropriate cross references through out the text. It includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapter and a detailed subject index. Today it probably is chiefly of interest in the history of medicine.

This classic introductory text describes geological processes within the framework of plate tectonics. Marine geology, geophysics and planetary geology are woven into discussions of more traditional topics such as geomorphology, sedimentation and structural geology. The methods used by field geologists are explained, and geologic subjects are examined in relation to environmental issues. "... still the best general text on Earth science on the market ..."

Stanley`s assertion that "the physical history and the biological history of the earth are inextricably intertwined" shapes his text throughout. Global events (such as general patterns of geographic change and major occurrences in the evolution and extinction of life) are reviewed within the context of plate tectonics and the author offers insightful observations on how environmental conditions have affected life through the ages. "... the standard text for historical biology and geology courses." Geological Journal Supplement: Instructor's Guide

Thoroughly revised, and updated , this textbook for the mainstream chemistry course, focuses on principles while interweaving the most important facets of descriptive chemistry. Early in the text, chemical elements, the periodic table, and chemical reactions are introduced, allowing the authors to integrate descriptive chemistry throughout subsequent chapters. The selection of worked examples and problems is carefully balanced with the text and checked for accuracy. The third edition includes new chapters on descriptive chemistry; new interchapters; new practice problems; and new art and photographs.
