T H R E E - V O L U M E S E T

Guenter Kahl, Univ. of Frankfurt, Germany

“This book is much more than what its concise title implies—it is more than a mere dictionary, in the sense of a collection of terms and acronyms, but rather a self-sufficient research tool, an illuminating

read, and in fact an entire encyclopedia for the post-genomic era.”—Trends in Molecular Medicine


Science and the GardenS E C O N D E D I T I O N

David S. Ingram, Univ. of Cambridge, UK; Daphne Vince-Prue, Royal Horticulture Society, UK; Peter J. Gregory, Scottish Crop Research Institute, UK

“A thorough update and the introduction of new topics such as biodiversity and conservation has greatly enhanced this new edition: it is a ‘must

read’ for all interested in horticulture and gardening.”—John MacLeod, RHS Professor of Horticulture

Most conventional gardening books concentrate on how and when to carry out horticultural tasks such as pruning, seed sowing, and taking cuttings. This book is unique in explaining in straightforward terms some of the science that underlies these practices.

Choosing and Using StatisticsA Biologist’s GuideS E C O N D E D I T I O N

Calvin Dytham, Univ. of York, UK

“The first edition of this excellent handbook was extreme-ly well received by both students and lecturers alike. It has helped to simplify the often complex and difficult task of choosing and using the right statistics package. This is a book for any student or professional biologist

who wants to process data using a statistical package on the computer, to select appropriate methods and extract the important information from the often con-fusing output that is produced. . . .”—Ethology, Ecology and Evolution


Saving the Earth as a CareerAdvice on Becoming a Conservation Professional

Malcolm L. Hunter Jr., Univ. of Maine, USA; David Lindenmayer, The Australian National Univ.; Aram Calhoun, Univ. of Maine, USA

“A lively and informative guide for those starting a career in conser-

vation, or thinking about such a career, to how it’s done! This book should be useful for college and university students—and their advisors—as well as anyone interested in the rapidly expanding and vitally important field of conservation.”—Peter H. Raven, President, Missouri Botanical Garden


Essential Mathematics and Statistics for ScienceS E C O N D E D I T I O N

Writing Scientific Research ArticlesStrategy and Steps

Margaret Cargill; Patrick O’Connor, Univ. of Adelaide, Australia

This book guides authors in how to write, as well as what to write, to improve their chances of hav-ing their articles accepted for publication in inter-national, peer-reviewed journals. Writing Scientific Research Articles is designed for scientists who use English as a first or an additional language, for research students and those who teach them paper

writing skills, and for early-career researchers wanting to hone their skills as authors and mentors.



Statistics for Terrified BiologistsHelmut van Emden, Univ. of Reading, UK

The typical biology student is “hardwired” to be wary of any tasks involving the application of mathematics and statistical anal-yses, but the plain fact is much of biology requires interpretation of experimental data through the

use of statistical methods. Now for the first time, there’s a textbook aimed at demystifying statistical formulae for the average biology student. Written in a lively and engaging style, Statistics for Terrified Biologists draws on the author’s 30 years of lecturing experience.


Peer Review and Manuscript Management in Scientific JournalsGuidelines for Good Practice

Irene Hames, Managing Editor of The Plant Journal

“In the midst of the often overheated current debates about the effectiveness of peer review in science pub-lishing, this book is an oasis of calm. I know no bet-ter guide for editors and scientists on how to get the very best out of the peer review system.”—Andrew Sugden, International Managing Editor, Science


Study SkillsA Student Survival Guide

Kathryn Allen, Institute of Cancer Research, UK; Editor

This easy-to-use guide covers the skills students need to get up and running, such as time management and organisation, as well as how to get the best out of work-ing as part of a research team. Once research is under-way, it provides guidance and advice on how to present the work, both in writing and on paper, and how to criti-

cally appraise the student’s own work and that of others.


From Genes to GenomesConcepts and Applications of DNA TechnologyS E C O N D E D I T I O N

Jeremy W. Dale, Malcolm von Schantz, both of Univ. of Surrey, UK

This new edition of the concise, well-written original introduces key techniques and con-cepts involved in cloning genes and in studying

their expression and variation. It opens with a brief review of the basic concepts of molecular biology, before moving on to describe the key molecular methods and how they fit together.

Jenny Gu, Univ. of Muenster, Germany; Philip E. Bourne, Univ. of California, San Diego, USA; Editors

This book addresses the theories and associat-ed algorithms, resources, and tools used in the analysis, prediction, and theoretical underpin-

nings of DNA, RNA, and proteins. This new edition contains thorough updates of the advances in structural bioinformatics and features 11 new chapters dealing with frontier areas.


Bioinformatics and Molecular EvolutionPaul G. Higgs, McMaster Univ., Canada; Teresa K. Attwood, Univ. of Manchester, UK

“Finally, it has arrived: The book I can confi-dently recommend to my students as the best in the field. That this single book has been able to cover so much is testimony to the dedication

and quality of the authors.”—James McInerney, National University of Ireland


Bioinformatics for Glycobiology and GlycomicsAn Introduction

Claus-Wilhelm von der Lieth, German Cancer Research Centre; Thomas Luetteke, Giessen Univ.; Martin Frank, Univ. of Heidelberg, Germany; Editors

The first book dedicated to the bioinformatics of carbohydrates and glycoproteins. Provides a state-of-the-art overview and demonstration of the value of bioinformatics for glycobiology, not simply as a review of databases and tools but rather as an introduction to a new branch of glycobiology.
