Zoology 9 10

Our closest living relatives are the chimpanzee and bonobo. We share many characteristics with them, but our lineages diverged millions of years ago. Who in fact was our last common ancestor?

10

Botanical reference

‘Scientists reconstructing the nature of this last common ancestor invariably work backwards from humans and chimpanzees of today … fossil apes in the Miocene … are often neglected or omitted altogether in building the hypothetical common ancestor. Andrews brings all the evidence together – morphology, behaviour, genetics and palaeoenvironments – to take a fresh look at where we and the extant apes came from [and to] build a fresh and provocative model of what our common ancestor really looked like.’

‘ … [an] engaging and thought-provoking review of how the evolution of apes informs us about human origins … This is an extraordinary tale worth telling, and there is no one better than Andrews to tell it.’

Terry Harrison, New York University, USA ‘ … there has not been a single book dedicated to interpreting [the] rich fossil record … [This book] now fills that void … both a guide to the record of ape evolution leading to the emergence of humans as well as a captivating personal narrative of exploration.’

Jay Kelley, Arizona State University, USA

‘Andrews is a holistic thinker and this book is the culmination of his long career weaving primate evolution, human evolution and palaeoecology into an insightful and coherent narrative … a rigorous and insightful explanation of hominid evolution.’

‘If Charles Darwin had decided to tackle the task of reconstructing the common ancestor of modern humans and chimpanzees/bonobos, he would have written a book much like this one… no one is better equipped than Peter Andrews to write this book.’

Inside back cover

“… summarizes, most elegantly, the contributions of GWAS as a major discovery tool linking complex disease phenotypes to genetic variants and associated biological pathways and gene networks that were previously unknown. GWAS has transformed the genetic landscape in complex disease and has informed us more about the genetic underpinnings of common diseases and pharmacogenomics traits than any other tool to date.”

Hakon Hakonarson, Professor of Pediatrics, University of Pennsylvania, USA “… with an impressive and diverse list of contributors, this will become a highly valuable resource for both experts and researchers entering the field.”

Industrial Agriculture and Ape Conservation Edited by Arcus Foundation

This second volume in an important new series examines the interface between ape conservation and industrial agriculture, presenting original research as well as topical case studies. It aims to influence debate, practice and policy for a broad range of policy makers, industry experts, decision makers, academics, researchers and NGOs. Review of the series: ‘Truly groundbreaking … Through keen analysis and vivid research, the [State of the Apes] series considers the survival of the world’s ape species in light of both longstanding and newly emerging threats, such as mineral extraction, energy exploration, agricultural expansion and land conversion – forces that

will continue to shape not only the future of wild apes, but also of all remaining blocks of wild habitat and the extraordinary biodiversity they contain. By examining the complexity of development forces across range states, [this series] offers an informed and realistic assessment of the prospects for ape conservation, as well as outlining the potential of policies that may spell the difference between destruction and survival of these extraordinary beings.’

Genome-Wide Association Studies From Polymorphism to Personalized Medicine Edited by Krishnarao Appasani GeneExpression Systems, Inc.

Foreword by Stephen W. Scherer University of Toronto

and Peter M. Visscher University of Queensland

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) will have increasing importance in the post-genomic era. This timely publication, written by leading experts

Genomics, bioinformatics, and systems biology from academia and industry, provides an essential overview for both established scientists and students, focusing on the use of GWAS in the context of disease biology and personalised medicine.

‘Genome-Wide Association Studies: From Polymorphism to Personalized Medicine, edited by Krishnarao Appasani, summarizes most elegantly the contributions of GWAS as a major discovery tool linking complex disease phenotypes to genetic variants and associated biological pathways and gene networks that were previously unknown. GWAS has transformed the genetic landscape in complex disease and has informed us more about the genetic underpinnings of common diseases and pharmacogenomics traits than any other tool to date.

The present book captures this development elegantly and is a pleasure to read.’

stop reference to applying the latest phylogenetic models in BEAST 2, interpreting the analyses and extending these models further.

‘Want to construct a phylogeny, add in calibrated time points or work out the past history of an epidemic? The open source package BEAST has established itself as the industry standard for all this and more. This definitive book, explaining what is under the hood, how the user can customize extensions and, most critically, a simple ‘how to’ users guide, is necessary reading for beginners and specialists alike.’

Systems Biology Constraint-based Reconstruction and Analysis Bernhard O. Palsson University of California, San Diego

The first comprehensive single-authored textbook on genome-scale models and the bottom-up approach to systems biology.

‘One of the defining challenges of systems biology is to determine the structures and mechanisms by which complex networks of genes, proteins and metabolites control cell processes and molecular dynamics. Bernhard O. Palsson is a leading pioneer in constructing and analyzing genomescale models of such networks. Here Palsson offers students an insider’s guided tour of the concepts, principles and techniques underlying this emerging field. The book is brilliantly laid out and offers professors wellstructured, much-needed material for a graduate-level course in systems biology and network science.’

Python Programming for Biology Bioinformatics and Beyond Tim J. Stevens MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge

and Wayne Boucher University of Cambridge

This book introduces Python as a powerful tool for the investigation of problems in computational biology, for novices and experienced programmers alike.

‘As a long-time advocate of Python as the language of choice for both the bulk of biological data analysis and for teaching computer programming to molecular life scientists, I am delighted to see this book. [It] provides a well-focused introduction to Python programming but then goes

on to use the clarity of the Python language to demystify a wide range of commonly applied data processing and analysis techniques that arise in modern cell and molecular biology.

The integration of straightforward introductions to sequence analysis, image processing and statistical analysis (amongst others) into a book on Python is inspired. The clarity of the Python language helps to show that often ‘yes it really is that simple’, in a way that staring at a mathematical expression often fails to, and the programming element allows the reader to become actively involved.’

Quantitative biology, biostatistics and mathematical modelling A Biostatistics Toolbox for Data Analysis Steve Selvin University of California, Berkeley

A Biostatistics Toolbox for Data Analysis delivers a sophisticated package of statistical methods for advanced master’s (MPH) and PhD students in public health and epidemiology who are involved in the analysis of data. The book’s statistical tools are organized into sections with similar objectives, each of which is accompanied by complete instructions, explanations, detailed examples, and advice on relevant issues and potential pitfalls.

‘Professor Selvin is a master at making statistical procedures and their complex underpinnings accessible to students of all levels of expertise.

This book is a brilliant compendium of Professor Selvin’s tremendous understanding of the breadth and depth of biostatistical tools that he delivers to the reader with superb clarity. A broad range of salient statistical concepts are covered, pleasantly anchored with a brief history, described formally for the more initiated reader, and expertly illustrated with real-life data examples that are readily understood by the less mathematically inclined. Researchers from a myriad of scientific disciplines seeking masterful guidance about conducting their statistical data analysis will absolutely want this book at their fingertips.’

Quantitative biology, biostatistics and mathematical modelling / Life science professional development Textbook

Statistics Explained An Introductory Guide for Life Scientists Second edition Steve McKillup Central Queensland University

Straightforward conceptual explanations of statistical methods for the life sciences, specially designed for students lacking a strong mathematical background.

‘Every so often, a researcher or teacher comes across a book and exclaims ‘I wish I had had a book like this when I started!’ … Statistics Explained is such a book. Steve McKillup writes with empathy for students’ anxiety about statistics. He replaces complex-looking formulae with graphics and realistic examples.

He is a biologist writing for fellowbiologists … [The book] explains why the statistical test is needed before describing the test. Essential features of good survey and experimental design are clearly outlined … This is not ‘just another biostatistics textbook’. Its sheer readability will restore confidence to the most anxious student while experienced researchers will savour the clarity of the explanations of the common univariate and multivariate analyses … an ideal core text for anyone teaching or studying biostatistics …’

Why Quark Rhymes with Pork And Other Scientific Diversions N. David Mermin Cornell University, New York

A collection of offbeat, entertaining and primarily nontechnical essays on physics and those who practice it, from eminent theoretical physicist N. David Mermin. Bringing together for the first time all thirty of his columns published in Physics Today’s Reference Frame series from 1988 to 2009, with updating commentary, this humorous and unusual volume includes thirteen other essays, many of them previously unpublished.

Mermin’s lively and penetrating writing illuminates a broad range of topics, from the implications of bad spelling in a major science journal, to the crises of science libraries and scientific periodicals, the folly of scientific prizes and honors, the agony of getting funding, and how to pronounce ‘quark’.

His witty observations and insightful anecdotes gleaned from a lifetime in science will entertain physicists at all levels, as well as anyone else interested in science or scientists at the turn of the twenty-first century.

collection engages a wide audience of readers from all backgrounds.

‘Are we alone in the cosmos? If yes, we can never be sure. If no, we might well have an answer within the decade. The 22 authors of these fascinating and informative essays say no, we are not alone, despite the fact that so far not a shred of evidence has been found for the existence of life elsewhere in the universe. But just in case they are right, we need to start thinking about the possibility that we are not alone, and here is a good place to start.’

The Impact of Discovering Life beyond Earth

Life

Edited by Steven J. Dick

Darwin College, Cambridge

Library of Congress, Washington DC

The search for life in the Universe, once the domain of science fiction, is now a robust research program with a well-defined roadmap, from studying the extremes of life on Earth to exploring the possible niches for life in the Solar System and discovering thousands of planets far beyond it.

In addition to constituting a major scientific endeavor, astrobiology is one of the most popular topics in astronomy, and is of growing interest to a broad community of thinkers from across the academic spectrum. In this volume, distinguished philosophers, theologians, anthropologists, historians and scientists discuss the big questions about how the discovery of extraterrestrial life, whether intelligent or microbial, would impact society. Their remarkable and often surprising findings challenge our foundational concepts of what the discovery of alien life may hold for humankind. Written in easily accessible language, this thought-provoking
