A recent report warns that nearly 20 per cent of the world's primates may go extinct by 2020. This work integrates theoretical advances with practical management priorities to give scientists and policymakers the tools they need to help keep these species from disappearing forever.

A beautiful and comprehensive illustrated resource on the diverse natural history of our closest animal relatives: apes, monkeys and lemurs.

Focusing on the basic principles of biochemistry and filling the gap between the encyclopedic volumes and the cursory overview texts, this book is for one-semester or two-semester introductory courses in Biochemistry. Praised in its previous edition for currency and clarity of exposition, it has been updated to reflect changes in this discipline.

All the key principles of developmental biology that students need to know, underpinned by experimental evidence, and an exploration of the molecular basis of the subject.

To respond to the increasing need to feed the world's population as well as an ever greater demand for a balanced and healthy diet there is a continuing need to produce improved new cultivars or varieties of plants, particularly crop plants.

Combines biology and physics to show how water moves through the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. This text explores the instrumentation and the methods used to measure the status of water in soil and plants.

The crisp writing style and simple illustrations will provide beginner crystallographers with a guide to the process of unraveling protein structure.

Protein Structure and Function provides a critical survey of our current understanding protein structure and function in the age of genomics. Moving from sequence to structure, and structure to function, the book also explores the link between sequence and function in a series of case studies in structural and functional genomics.
