REVIEWS -

“On dipping into various of the Chapters in this new book, I found lots to make me feel this will be an outstanding teaching aid. For example, it was pleasing to see 'quorum sensing' explained [Chapter 20, Prokaryotic Cell Biology]…. New and welcome additions also include 'Medical Applications' boxes and 'Concept and Reasoning Checks'.” David Archer, Schools Liaison Officer, British Society for Cell Biology, BSCB Autumn Newsletter, August 2010. 

"The editors and authors have assembled an excellent learning resource for students of modern cell biology. They expertly describe the molecular structure and function of life. The book is characterized by a crisp, uniform writing style, attention to detail, and scientific rigor. The pages are filled with uniform, bright molecular models, colorful illustrations, and exciting examples of current research (e.g., amazing multicolor immunofluorescence localization of biomolecules)." Bruce Fenderson,  PhD, Thomas Jefferson University.

RATING - Doody Rating - 4 STARS, CORE TITLE

AT A GLANCE -Completely revised and updated to incorporate the latest data in the field, Lewin's CELLS, Second Edition is the ideal resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students entering the world of cell biology. Redesigned to incorporate new learning tools and elements, this edition continues to provide readers with current coverage of the structure, organization, growth, regulation, movements, and interaction of cells, with an emphasis on eukaryotic cells. Under the direction of three expert lead editors, new chapters on metabolism and general molecular biology have been added by subject specialist. All chapters have been carefully edited to maintain consistent use of terminology and to achieve a homogenous level of detail and rigor. A new design incorporates many new pedagogical elements, including Concept & Reasoning Questions, Methods boxes, Clinical Applications boxes, and more. (Doody.com)

STAT!Ref announces 3 NEW TITLES....

Neonatal Respiratory Care Handbook     

© 2011 Jones and Bartlett Publishers, Inc.

Authors/Editors: Elgloria A. Harrison MS, RRT-NPS

Subjects: Nursing, Respiratory Therapy, Pediatrics

Neonatal Respiratory Care Handbook is a user-friendly, full-color resource illustrating the more common types of procedures that a respiratory therapist, new graduate or an experienced therapist would be expected to perform in the day-to-day operations of a specialized unit for children. This full-color reference is especially appropriate for respiratory students enrolled in a Neonatal/Pediatric class, particularly during their Neonatal and Pediatric rotation; Respiratory Educators and Residents within a pulmonary medicine residency; and Respiratory graduates orienting or completing their orientation in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) or Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU).

The Immune Response to Infection

© 2011 American Society for Microbiology Press

Authors/Editors: Stephan H.E. Kaufmann, Barry T. Rouse, and David L. Sacks

Subject:  Immunology

 With an approach that covers the range from basic research to clinical applications, The Immune Response to Infection examines the mechanisms of both the innate and adaptive immune systems as they relate to infection and disease. The book not only explores the underlying mechanisms of immunity, but also the many sequelae of host-pathogen interactions, ranging from the sterile eradication of the invader, to controlled chronic infection, to pathologic corollaries of the host-pathogen crosstalk. It also explores the pathogenesis of certain autoimmune disorders and cancers that are induced by infectious agents but then become independent of the infection process.

 Principles of Virology

3rd Ed. © 2010 American Society for Microbiolgoy Press

Authors/Editors: S. Jane Flint, Lynn W. Enquist, Vincent R. Racaniello, and Anna Marie Skalka

Sujects: Virology

Principles of Virology, 3rd Edition, is completely revised and updated to reflect important advances in the field. The textbook continues to fill the gap between introductory texts and advanced reviews of major virus families. These two volumes provide upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, and medical students with a state-of-the-art introduction to all aspects of virology.

Handbook of Tuberculosis

 New Title:

Handook of Tuberculosis: Clinics, Diagnostics, Therapy, and Epidemiology

©2008 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Authors/Editors: Stefan H. E. Kaufmann (Editor), Paul van Helden (Editor)

Tuberculosis, (TB), a deadly airborne disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, takes the lives of almost 2 million people each year, and is considered to be the most common infectious disease in the world.

This book highlights several recent advances in fighting the disease, thanks to the efforts of researchers such as the volume's lead editor, Dr. Stefan H. E. Kaufmann, who is considered the world's leading expert in the field of tuberculosis.

This book explores the causes and available treatments of the widespread infection, as well as current research into vaccination. The Handbook of Tuberculosis is divided into three seperate volumes, covering different areas of study. This third volume of a three volume tuberculosis book series, provides a comprehensive overview of clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic and epidemiological aspects of the disease.
