The new knowledge has brought many practical benefits, including improvements in human health and prosperity. At the same time, it has led to ethical debates and controversy over issues such as genetic testing for inherited diseases, the balancing of environmental risks with benefits, genetic modification of crops and animals, the use of DNA fingerprinting in court cases, and the possibility of human reproductive cloning. These are only a few of the biology-based issues that we have to grapple with today. The successful application of the new knowledge will require many difficult decisions for us as citizens. A basic understanding of cell biology is needed if these decisions are to be intelligent ones. Our original purpose in writing this book was to provide a straightfor ward explanation of the workings of a living cell. By "workings," we mean principally the way in which the molecules of the cell-especially the pro tein, DNA, and RNA molecules-cooperate to create a system that feeds, moves, grows, divides, and responds to stimuli-one, in short, that is alive. By "straightforward," we mean an account that can be easily understood by a reader approaching modern biology for the first time. The need for a short, clear account of the essentials of cell biology became apparent to us while we were writing Molecular Biology of the Cell (MBOC), which is now in its fourth edition. MBOC is a large book aimed at advanced undergraduates and graduate students specializing in the life sciences or medicine. Many students and educated lay people who require an introductory account of cell biology would find this text too detailed for their needs. Essential Cell Biology (ECB), in contrast, is designed to provide the fundamentals of cell biology that are required by anyone to understand the biomedical, as well as the broader biological issues that affect our lives. ECB is as short and simple as we can make it, and we have reduced technical vocabulary to a minimum. In this second edition, we have brought the book completely up to date, with a new emphasis on genomes. including an overview of the human genome sequence and a new chapter on How Genes and Genomes Evolve, In response to requests from many....

'Pray, pray be composed,' cried Elinor, 'and do not betray what you feel to every body present. Perhaps he has not observed you yet.'For Elinor Dashwood, sensible and sensitive, and her romantic, impetuous younger sister Marianne, the prospect of marrying the men they love appears remote. In a world ruled by money and self-interest, the Dashwood sisters have neither fortune nor connections. Concerned for others and for social proprieties, Elinor is ill-equipped to compete with self-centred fortune-hunters like Lucy Steele, whilst Marianne's unswerving belief in the truth of her own feelings makes her more dangerouslysusceptible to the designs of unscrupulous men. Through her heroines' parallel experiences of love, loss, and hope, Jane Austen offers a powerful analysis of the ways in which women's lives were shaped by the claustrophobic society in which they had to survive.

On a clear morning in July 1804, Alexander Hamilton stepped onto a boat at the edge of the Hudson River. He was bound for a New Jersey dueling ground to settle his bitter dispute with Aaron Burr. Hamilton took just two men with him: his "second" for the duel, and Dr. David Hosack. As historian Victoria Johnson reveals in her groundbreaking biography, Hosack was one of the few points the duelists did agree on. Summoned that morning because of his role as the beloved Hamilton family doctor, he was also a close friend of Burr. A brilliant surgeon and a world-class botanist, Hosack-who until now has been lost in the fog of history-was a pioneering thinker who shaped a young nation. Born in New York City, he was educated in Europe and returned to America inspired by his newfound knowledge. He assembled a plant collection so spectacular and diverse that it amazes botanists today, conducted some of the first pharmaceutical research in the United States, and introduced new surgeries to American. His tireless work championing public health and science earned him national fame and praise from the likes of Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Alexander von Humboldt, and the Marquis de Lafayette. One goal drove Hosack above all others: to build the Republic's first botanical garden. Despite innumerable obstacles and near-constant resistance, Hosack triumphed when, by 1810, his Elgin Botanic Garden at last crowned twenty acres of Manhattan farmland. "Where others saw real estate and power, Hosack saw the landscape as a pharmacopoeia able to bring medicine into the modern age" (Eric W. Sanderson, author of Mannahatta). Today what remains of America's first botanical garden lies in the heart of midtown, buried beneath Rockefeller Center. Whether collecting specimens along the banks of the Hudson River, lecturing before a class of rapt medical students, or breaking the fever of a young Philip Hamilton, David Hosack was an American visionary who has been too long forgotten. Alongside other towering figures of the post-Revolutionary generation, he took the reins of a nation. In unearthing the dramatic story of his life, Johnson offers a lush depiction of the man who gave a new voice to the powers and perils of nature.

A major and controversial new biography of one of the most compelling and contradictory figures in modern British life. Born Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, to most of us he is just 'Boris' - the only politician of the age to be regarded in such familiar, even affectionate terms. Uniquely, he combines comedy with erudition, gimlet-eyed focus with jokey self-deprecation, and is a loving family man with a roving eye. He is also a hugely ambitious figure with seemingly no huge ambitions to pursue - other than, perhaps, power itself. In this revealing biography, written from the vantage point of a once close colleague, Sonia Purnell examines how a shy, young boy from a broken home became our only box-office politician - and most unlikely sex god; how the Etonian product fond of Latin tags became a Man of the People - and why he wanted to be; how the gaffe-prone buffoon charmed Londonders to win the largest personal mandate Britain has ever seen; and how the Johnson family built our biggest - and blondest - media and political dynasty.The first forensic account of a remarkable rise to fame and power, Just Boris unravels this most compelling of political enigmas and asks whether the Mayor who dreams of crossing the Thames to Downing Street has what it takes to be Prime Minister.

Matthew Miller's The German Epic in the Cold War explores the literary evolution of the modern epic in postwar German literature. Examining works by Peter Weiss, Uwe Johnson, and Alexander Kluge, it illustrates imaginative artistic responses in German fiction to the physical and ideological division of post-World War II Germany. Miller analyzes three ambitious German-language epics from the second half of the twentieth century: Weiss's Die AEsthetik des Widerstands (The Aesthetics of Resistance), Johnson's Jahrestage (Anniversaries), and Kluge's Chronik der Gefuhle (Chronicle of Feelings). In them, he traces the epic's unlikely reemergence after the catastrophes of World War II and the Shoah and its continuity across the historical watershed of 1989-91, defined by German unification and the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Building on Franco Moretti's codification of the literary form of the modern epic, Miller demonstrates the epic's ability to understand the past; to come to terms with ethical, social, and political challenges in the second half of the twentieth century in German-speaking Europe and beyond; and to debate and envision possible futures.

Robust, rotund and ready for anything, Boris Johnson has blustered, bungled and brokered his way to become one of the world's most recognizable political figures.From his early days as a journalist through to his years as the Mayor of London and now his position as British Foreign Secretary, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson has made it his trademark to insult, appall, and entertain in equal measures. Never far from his latest gaffe - be it writing offensive limericks about world leaders, or dangling helplessly from zip wires - Boris, aka the Teflon toff, has an innate ability to weather even the most severe political storm. Can you image many other politicians who can so easily shrug off scandals as varied as extra-marital affairs, saying Hillary Clinton looks like "a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital" and insulting entire countries?Loved and loathed in equal measures, no matter what you think about the man you can't deny that he gets people talking. Through a series of hilarious images, games, captions and quotations Oh Boris! delves deep into some of BoJo's biggest gaffes, examining who he is, where he came from and who he's annoyed on his journey to the top. And of course, it wouldn't be a book on Boris without some thorough analysis of THAT haircut.
