Comprehensive Glycoscience, 4 Vols.
Elsevier; New York, USA; 2007; 044452746X / 9780444527462; First Edition; Hardcover; New;
Carbohydrates are an important part of life and are present in bacteria, fungi, viruses, yeast, plants, animals and humans. The rapid expansion of chemistry and glycobiology over the last few years has provided many new, imaginative and efficient techniques which provide further insight into the structures and biological interactions of carbohydrates and glycostructures. This work has a very broad scope and will appeal to a wide audience as it explores the interactions between biology, chemistry and molecular biology towards understanding, synthesising and developing glycoproteins, glycolipids, proteoglyans and polysaccharides, which are important molecules in nature for controlling health and disease and food and feed. Glycocompounds reviewed include: oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, glycoproteins, glycolipids, glycoconjugates, lectins, cellulose, pectins and starch. Topics covered include: spectroscopy, nomenclature, structures, synthesis, biosynthesis, molecular interactions, degradation, biochemistry, glycobiology, glycotherapeutics and diseases.

George Fink (ed.)
Encyclopedia of Stress, 4 Vols.
Elsevier; New York, USA; 2007; 0120885034 / 9780120885039; Second Edition; Hardcover; New;
Like the first edition, the second edition of the Encyclopedia of Stress covers nearly every conceivable aspect and ramification of stress including a wide range of related topics such as neuroimmune interactions, cytokines, enzymatic disorders, effects on the cardiovascular system, immunity and inflammation, and physical illnesses. Over the last decade, scientists have presented convincing research showing that psychological stress increases vulnerability to disease. They now understand more clearly that stress may be the thread tying together illnesses that were previously believed to be unrelated. Bone loss, increased abdominal fat, and damaged memory cells in the hippocampus have been linked to elevated cortisol levels. Building on the success of the first edition, this completely revised work surveys the vast amount of research generated in the past five years, resulting in a substantial revision with over 30% new material and over 100 new entries. Expanded sections include Animal Studies, Anxiety and Depression, Drugs, Depression, Disasters, and Psychological and Other Therapies. Also available online via ScienceDirect (2007) – featuring extensive browsing, searching, and internal cross-referencing between articles in the work, plus dynamic linking to journal articles and abstract databases, making navigation flexible and easy.

Evolution of Nervous Systems, 4 Vols.
Elsevier; New York, USA; 2006; 0123925606 / 9780123925602; First Edition; Hardcover; New;
All biology only makes sense when seen in the light of evolution, and this is especially true for the nervous system. All animals have nervous systems that mediate their behaviors, many of them species specific. Yet, these nervous systems all evolved from the simple nervous system of a common ancestor. To understand these nervous systems, we need to know how they vary and how this variation emerged in evolution. Over 100 distinguished neuroscientists have assembled, for the first time, the current state-of-the-art knowledge on how nervous systems evolved throughout the animal kingdom. This four-volume overview is rich in detail and broad in scope, and outlines the changes in brain and nervous system organization that occurred from the first vertebrates to present day fishes, reptiles, birds, mammals, and especially primates, including humans. The basic principles of brain evolution are discussed, as well as mechanisms of change, which involved gene expression and altered the courses of embryonic development. The reader can select from chapters on highly specific topics as well as those providing an overview of current thinking and approaches. This unique major reference promises to become the gold standard for those interested in evolution and in nervous systems. Also available online via ScienceDirect (2006) – featuring extensive browsing, searching, and internal cross-referencing between articles in the work, plus dynamic linking to journal articles and abstract databases, making navigation flexible and easy.

Gene Cloning and Manipulation
Cambridge University Press; Cambridge, UK; 2007; 0521817935 / 9780521817936; Second Edition; Hardcover; New; New; 190 x 250 Mm
Now fully updated to reflect recent advances, this introduction provides a broad, but concise, coverage of recombinant DNA techniques. Written for advanced undergraduates, graduates and scientists who want to use this technology, emphasis is placed on the concepts underlying particular types of cloning vectors to aid understanding and to enable readers to devise suitable strategies for novel experimental situations. An introduction to the basic biochemical principles is presented first. Then PCR and cloning using E. coli hosts and plasmid, phage and hybrid vectors are described, followed by the generation and screening of libraries and how to modify, inactivate or express cloned sequences. Finally genetic manipulation in a range of other organisms is discussed, including other bacteria, fungi, algae and plants, insects and mammals. A series of 'real-life' biological problems are also presented to enable readers to assess their understanding of the material and to prepare for exams. • Covers a broad range of host organisms, from E. coli to mammals • Focuses on the underlying principles thereby equipping the reader to devise appropriate strategies for novel situations and for use in their own research • Contains example scenarios, which allow the reader to test their understanding of the material and apply it to ‘real-life’ research situations Contents Preface; 1. The tools for the job; 2. Polymerase chain reaction; 3. Simple cloning; 4. Other vector systems for E. Coli; 5. Making libraries; 6. Screening libraries; 7. Modification and mutagenesis; 8. Use of cloned DNA; 9. Using other organisms; 10. Examples. Printed Pages: 276 with 131 line diagrams, 9 tables and 131 figures. 017672

Love in the Time Of Treason: The Life Story of Ayesha Dawood
Kwela Books; Cape Town, South Africa; 2008; 0795702752 / 9780795702754; First Edition; Paperback; New; 22 Cms x 15 Cms
Ayesha (Bibi) Dawood, lived with her parents in Worcester, became a dedicated activist in the fifties and stood trial with others like Nelson Mandela during the infamous Treason Trials. Her family home was raided and her relatives harassed, she was repeatedly arrested and imprisoned. She stood her ground, but after the banning of political organisations by the government of the day, and the arrests of prominent leaders, Bibi’s spirit was crushed, though she never strayed from her journey towards freedom. During this time, Yusuf, whom she had met a few years ago in India when she visited her grandmother, succeeded to jump ship in Durban and travel to Worcester to find the love of his life. A few years after they got married, Yusuf was arrested as illegal immigrant. Bibi refused to divulge secrets about the whereabouts of people like Ray Alexander who had fled overseas, and she and Yusuf and their children had to leave SA for India – Bibi with an exit permit. India proved another trial in many ways. Yusuf had to work as migrant labourer in Kuwait, while Bibi tried to keep the home fires burning and was considered a leader among the women around Sarwa. It was during the wedding ceremonies of their daughter that Bibi heard about Nelson Mandela’s release – and the possibility of returning to the country she longed to see again, suddenly became real. . .Printed pages: 224. 034676
