'A funny and beautifully written welcome to the enigmatic, weird and wonderful world of wasps' DAVE GOULSON, author of SILENT EARTHThere may be no insect with a worse reputation than the wasp, and none guarding so many undiscovered wonders.
Over a decade ago, as the Human Genome Project completed its mapping of the entire human genome, hopes ran high that we would rapidly be able to use our knowledge of human genes to tackle many inherited diseases, and understand what makes us unique among animals.

The most important investigation of genetic science since The Selfish Gene, from the author of the critically acclaimed and best-selling The Red Queen and The Origins of Virtue.
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER'Nobody deals with challenging subjects more interestingly and compellingly than Adam Rutherford, and this may be his best book yet.
From a young age, I wanted to trace my familys history, hoping to get back to the very beginning of modern mankind seemingly a ridiculous and impossible task!
This volume explores techniques in DNA damage analysis, important not only for understanding cellular health after exposure to genotoxic agents but also for assessing cellular ability of genome maintenance.
This book covers a wide range of topics such as role of microorganisms in the global carbon cycle, the impact of climate change on microbial communities, and the feedback mechanism between them.
Systems Biology aims at deciphering the genotype-phenotype relationships at the levels of genes, transcripts (RNAs), peptides, proteins, metabolites, and environmental factors participating in complex cellular networks in order to reveal the mechanisms and principles governing the behavior of complex biological systems.
The volume on Vegetable Crops as a part of series entitled "e;Handbooks of Crop Diversity: Conservation and Use of Genetic Resources"e; will be a unique resource, first of its kind, which will elaborate on origin, evolution, taxonomy, identification, chemical characterization, and genetic improvement of Vegetable Crop Plants.
In this book, plant biology is considered from the perspective of plants and their surrounding environment, including both biotic and abiotic interactions.
This book covers a wide range of topics such as role of microorganisms in the global carbon cycle, the impact of climate change on microbial communities, and the feedback mechanism between them.
This book offers a basic understanding of the complex mechanisms that protect the brain from harmful substances while still allowing for essential functions such as nutrient transport and waste removal.
Mitosis: Methods and Protocols provides state-of-the-art overviews on the most important approaches currently used in mitosis research spanning from the analysis of single molecules in isolation to their utilization within the complex environment of the cell.
This book illuminates the essential role of plant genetic resources (PGR) in tackling global challenges such as climate change, desertification, and salinization of agricultural land.
This volume explores techniques in DNA damage analysis, important not only for understanding cellular health after exposure to genotoxic agents but also for assessing cellular ability of genome maintenance.
This book provides up-to-date information on the molecular diagnosis of viral diseases, including COVID-19, zika virus, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), viral hepatitis, meningitis, and human papilloma virus (HPV).
