Plant science The Diatoms Applications for the Environmental and Earth Sciences Second edition Edited by John Smol Queen’s University, Ontario
and Eugene Stoermer University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
This much revised and expanded edition provides a valuable and detailed summary of the many uses of diatoms in a wide range of applications in the environmental and earth sciences. Particular emphasis is placed on the use of diatoms in analysing ecological problems related to climate change, acidification, eutrophication, and other pollution issues. The chapters are divided into sections for easy reference, with separate sections covering indicators in different aquatic environments. A final section explores diatom use in other fields of study such as forensics, oil and gas exploration, nanotechnology, and archaeology. Sixteen new chapters have been added since the first edition, including introductory chapters on diatom biology and the numerical approaches used by diatomists. The extensive glossary has also been expanded and now includes over 1,000 detailed entries, which will help nonspecialists to use the book effectively. Contributors: John P. Smol, Eugene F.

Dynamic Energy Budget Theory for Metabolic Organisation Third edition Bas Kooijman Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam
The Dynamic Energy Budget theory unifies the commonalities between organisms, as prescribed by the implications of energetics, and links different levels of biological organisation. The theory presents simple mechanistic rules that describe the uptake and use of energy and nutrients and the consequences for physiological organisation throughout an organism’s life. ‘The Dynamic Energy Budget approach is refreshing, solidly grounded in biological data, supplemented with dramatic, well motivated theoretical concepts. This book is an excellent scientific product that informs and forces contemplation of issues relating to population and community ecology. The author has made a complex subject coherent.’ Thomas G.

Describes the links between climate change and human evolution, migration and behavioural change and the implications of climate change for our future, for those working and interested in the field and those embarking on upper-level courses on this topic. ‘Hetherington and Reid have undertaken the first comprehensive scientific review and analysis of the connections between human biology and its evolution, human pre-history and history on a global basis, and of planetary and regional climate throughout time as it has affected all biological life, including the activities of humans and their societies. The result is a very readable story, meticulously researched and well referenced, of us as human animals: what we are as well as who we are and how we got that way, of our genetic make-up and adaptations, of the development of behavioural capacities to cope with changes in our environment, and how successive fairly sudden changes in climate at long intervals have stressed human populations and stimulated the survivors to develop new capacities and new tools, and thus ultimately

It is a profound and vitally important story, and one that provides a solid scientific background to our current environmental, social, economic, and political dilemmas. This book is a significant contribution to the understanding of perhaps the most serious issue of our times.’ Fred Roots, Science Advisor Emeritus, Environment Canada and Chair of the Canadian National Committee for the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme

Too Smart for Our Own Good The Ecological Predicament of Humankind Craig Dilworth Uppsala University, Sweden
This book explains our ecological predicament by contextualising it against the first scientific theory of humankind’s development, drawing on evolution theory, biology, anthropology, archaeology, economics, environmental science and history. It takes over where Darwin left off, revealing that our ecologically disruptive behaviour is rooted in our nature as a species. ‘Dilworth’s book is very interesting, well written, and based on an incredible amount of research. It provides a thoroughly novel view of extremely important issues, one which will add considerably to the discussion concerning limits to growth.’ Dennis Meadows, co-author of Limits to Growth 2009 247 x 174 mm 546pp 60 b/w illus. 2 tables 978-0-521-76436-0 Hardback £55.00 978-0-521-75769-0 Paperback £19.99 www.cambridge.org/9780521764360
Quirks of Human Anatomy An Evo-Devo Look at the Human Body Lewis I. Held, Jr Texas Tech University
Ever since the Middle Ages, anatomy has been a clinical subject. Now, the new field of evolutionary developmental biology is showing how body parts are encoded genetically and how they arose evolutionarily. ‘Evo-devo’ uses our genome as a Rosetta Stone to decipher our past. Quirks of Human Anatomy takes the reader back to a time when there were no males or females, no arms
and legs as we know them, and only rudimentary eyes. From that perspective our anatomical flaws make sense as the quirky outcomes of our peculiar history. ‘Author Lewis Held brings readers a rich and extensively documented exploration of the evolutionary and developmental bases of modern human anatomy. … From my perspective as a teacher of anatomy, I rejoice any time that an exploration of the human form makes clear the evolutionary basis of our biological features. However, Quirks hits the jackpot by delivering on the other two components that contribute to our current form: development and function. A second strength of this book is that it provides detailed – and extensively illustrated and documented – accounts of developmental genetics and pathways focused around the sorts of questions that beginning students in anatomy might have … the illustrations are very helpful … I heartily recommend this book and found it a joy to read.’ Andrew J.

‘In this magnificently comprehensive analysis, Lloyd Vernon Knutson and Jean-Claude Vala establish a new standard by which all other systematic biological expositions will be evaluated. Current, thorough, thought-provoking, and highly readable, the Biology of SnailKilling Sciomyzidae Flies provides an enormous amount of information across a broad spectrum of topics that range from alpha-level taxonomy to applied biological control and the evolution of predator/parasitoid feeding behaviors. The authors’ unsurpassed knowledge of this group allows them to distill the essence of nearly 2,000 references into a single reliable source of information. The manner in which so much information is presented – clearly, concisely, and in an extraordinarily well organized fashion – makes it instantly accessible.

Since its first publication in 1991, New Flora of the British Isles has become established as the standard work on the identification of the wild vascular plants of the British Isles. The Flora remains unique in many features, including its full coverage of all British wild plants, its user-friendly organisation, and its specially compiled keys and descriptions. This new edition includes the addition of more than 160 species, so that 4,800 taxa are now covered in varying degrees of detail. It also incorporates the new molecular system of classification based on DNA sequences. Furthermore, it includes 1600 species illustrations, rewritten distributions and an overhaul of the designation of degrees of rarity, with the introduction of a third, less rare, category. These revisions should ensure that this third edition remains the essential reference source for all taxonomists, ecologists, conservationists, plant hunters and biogeographers, whether they be researchers, teachers, students or amateurs. ‘… Stace’s Flora is a mine of information, a model of clarity and organization, and one that no serious Irish or British botanist should be without.’ The Irish Naturalist Journal 2010 228 x 152 mm 1272pp 180 b/w illus. 978-0-521-70772-5 Paperback £50.00 Publication March 2010 www.cambridge.org/9780521707725

On the Origin of Species is one of the great revolutionary books in history; and the best source for understanding it is Charles Darwin’s correspondence. These eight award-winning volumes, reprinted for the first time in paperback, present the definitive text of all known letters to and from Darwin during the first half-century of his remarkable life, including the Beagle voyage and the great public debates on his evolutionary theory. In riveting detail, they tell the story of an aimless English schoolboy who emerged as the most controversial man of science of his era. With hundreds of correspondents across the globe and from all walks of life, the over 3000 letters presented here offer an extraordinary panorama of the fast-changing world of the nineteenth century. Poignant and powerful, they offer a moving commentary on issues at the heart of our own concerns, from global environmental change to the effects of science on religious belief.
