This is a fascinating account of the lives of two Victorian naturalists. It follows many years of research into Charles Darwin’s relationship with his cousin William Darwin Fox. New factual material on Darwin is presented, drawn from his cousin’s diaries.

This book helps scientists and researchers to gain a basic understanding of microarray analysis methodologies and tools. It is designed to be used by the practicing professional tasked with the design and analysis of microarray experiments or as a course text.

This book uses modern biological knowledge to tackle the question of what distinguishes living organisms from the non-living world. Non-technical language is used throughout and all scientific terms are clearly explained when they are introduced.

This book discusses organisms from bacteria and ciliates to higher vertebrates that live on polar continental shelves, slopes and deep sea. Discussion includes shrinking sea ice, and organisms adapted to cold climates that are now vulnerable to rapid warming.

This book offers insights on the effects of rapid climate change at the poles, one of which is that ecosystems adapted to polar environments are likely to be vulnerable as the climate warms. The editors recognize the outstanding contribution of Marine Biology.

Many of our most successful animal breeding programs have been accompanied by a reduced fitness in the animal. In this book, leading animal breeders and revolutionary geneticists explore ways to improve breeding programs and fitness simultaneously.
