With plenty of engaging material, practice questions, and practical ideas, this updated edition contains everything your students need to succeed in Cambridge IGCSE biology.

    

    The text offers a strong finance foundation focusing on Internet resources and sample number problems, cases, and calculator solutions using a Microsoft Excel appendix. The text introduces the time value of money using three approaches to reinforce the concept--interest tables, financial calculator keystrokes, and investment analysis calculator software created specifically for the Mayo books.

    Craig Venter became the first to successfully create synthetic life putting humankind at the threshold of the most important and exciting phase of biological research, one that will enable us to actually write the genetic code for designing new species to help us adapt and evolve for long-term survival. The science of synthetic genomics will have a profound impact on human existence, including chemical and energy generation, health, clean water and food production, environmental control, and possibly even our evolution. In "Life at the Speed of Light," Venter presents a fascinating and authoritative study of this emerging field from the inside detailing its origins, current challenges and controversies, and projected effects on our lives. This scientific frontier provides an opportunity to ponder anew the age-old question What is life? and examine what we really mean by playing God. " Life at the Speed of Light "is a landmark work, written by a visionary at the dawn of a new era of biological engineering."

    

    By extracting the fundamental concepts from this enormous and ever-growing field, the authors tell the story of cell biology, and create a coherent framework through which non-expert readers may approach the subject. Written in clear and concise language, and beautifully illustrated, the book is enjoyable to read, and it provides a clear sense of the excitement of modern biology. Molecular Biology of the Cell sets forth the current understanding of cell biology (completely updated as of Autumn 2001), and it explores the intriguing implications and possibilities of the great deal that remains unknown. The hallmark features of previous editions continue in the Fourth Edition. The book is designed with a clean and open, single-column layout. The art program maintains a completely consistent format and style, and includes over 1,600 photographs, electron micrographs, and original drawings by the authors. Clear and concise concept headings introduce each section. Every chapter contains extensive references. Most important, every chapter has been subjected to a rigorous, collaborative revision process where, in addition to incorporating comments from expert reviewers, each co-author reads and reviews the other authors' prose. The result is a truly integrated work with a single authorial voice. Features : - Places the latest hot topics sensibly in context - including genomics, protein structure, array technology, stem cells and genetics diseases. - Incorporates and emphasises new genomic data. - All of molecular biology is brought together into one section (chapters 4-7) covering classically defined molecular biology and molecular genetics. - Two chapters deal exclusively with methods and contain information on the latest tools and techniques. - New chapters on "Pathogens, Infection, and Innate Immunity". - Cell Biology Interactive CD-ROM is packaged with every copy of the book. - Contains over 1,600 illustrations, electron micrographs and photographs, of which over 1,000 are originally conceived by the authors.

    In brief, it is concerned with the scientific and technological aspects of the design and manufacture of dosage forms for medicines. An understanding of pharmaceutics is therefore vital to all pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists who are involved in converting a drug or a potential drug into a medicine that can be delivered safely, efficiently and conveniently to the patient.Professor Aulton's Pharmaceutics has become established as the clearest, most comprehensive textbook on this subject. The book provides pharmacy and pharmaceutical science students with the latest information on all aspects of pharmaceutics.provides a logical, comprehensive account of drug design and manufactureincludes the science of formulation and drug deliverydesigned and written for newcomers to the design of dosage formstwo new chapters on the principles and practice of sterilizationdosage-form design and delivery material thoroughly updatedproduct stability and stability testing of medicinal products section totally rewritten and expanded to include more of the relevant chemistryreflects current and future use of biotechnology products throughoutchanges in our understanding of biopharmaceutics, certain areas of drug delivery and the significance of the solid state all reflectednew page size and designnew photographs of equipment and apparatus

    

    The book is published by McGraw-Hill Education publishers who are popular for their huge number of books that are accurate and contain updated knowledge. This book is like an introduction to the subject of developmental Psychology but at the same time includes some higher level material as well that gives greater knowledge in the subject. A very useful text was written in a casual tone and easy to understand language; this book lives up to the expectations of readers. Thus, this book are an extremely useful source of text for students who are interested in developmental psychology. Developmental Psychology is a relatively new field in Psychology and hence there are very few reading materials available on this topic. This book without doubt is one of the best works on developmental Psychology and includes all the relevant and updated information. Almost all concepts of developmental Psychology are explained in detail. The book begins with the introduction of Life Span Development and then discusses the different periods of life, such as the prenatal period, infancy, babyhood, middle age and old age. At the same time, many contemporary issues are mentioned which makes the book an interesting read. The narrative style is fresh and very easy to understand. Elizabeth Hurlockis a noted academician and has expertise on the field of educational psychology. She has written many books on psychology that provides general, as well as in-depth knowledge. Her books include Child Growth and Development, Personality Development, Adolescent Development, The Psychology of Dress, and Instructor's Manual for Adolescent Development. This book is highly useful for people interested in developmental Psychology and provides all the necessary information in this field. For online shoppers, this book is available in paperback binding. It has an ISBN 10 number of 0070993637 and ISBN 13 number of 978-0070993631.

    

    A BOOK BY SANDEEP GARG

    With the assistance of a co-author, this popular student textbook has now been updated to include techniques such as membrane chromatography, aqueous phase partitioning, engineering recombinant proteins for purification and due to the rapid advances in bioinformatics/proteomics a discussion of the analysis of complex protein mixtures by 2D-electrophoresis and RPHPLC prior to sequencing by mass spectroscopy. Written with the student firmly in mind, no previous knowledge of biochemistry, and little of chemistry, is assumed. It is intended to provide an introduction to enzymology, and a balanced account of all the various theoretical and applied aspects of the subject which are likely to be included in a course.
