Prokaryotic Development

Book Description

This book describes the exciting advances that have occurred as a result of the transition from the almost purely genetic to the molecular analysis of bacterial development.

Prokaryotic Development focuses on the experimental systems in which a great deal is known about the molecular mechanisms of development. It devotes several chapters to the organisms that have yielded the most mechanistic information, allowing more in-depth coverage of developmental processes than previously available in one place. Introductory chapters describe the biology of each group of organisms in order to place the molecular analysis in a biological and phylogenic perspective.

Book Description

This cutting-edge volume provides the very latest results of basic research in cell replication, often with a view to potential medical applications, especially new anti-proliferative cancer therapies. The book focuses on intracellular communication - the key to cell division, and hence to the inhibition of division of malignant cells - in terms of such highly evolved mechanisms as cyclin dependent kinases (cdk's). Contributors also examine DNA replication by way of so-called licensing factors, as well as the role of genes such as p53, known as the tumor suppressor gene. Other chapters painstakingly sift out "peripheral" agents such as cdk5 and cdk8.

Book Description

A panel of leading investigators summarizes and synthesizes the new discoveries in the rapidly evolving field of histone acetylation as a key regulatory mechanism for gene expression. The authors describe what has been learned about these proteins, including the identification of the enzymes, the elucidation of the enzymatic mechanisms of action, and the identification of their substrates and their partners. They also review the structures that have been solved for a number of enzymes-both alone and in complex with small molecule inhibitors-and the biological roles of the several histone deacetylases (HDAC) genes that have been knocked out in mice.

Book Description

How does a bacterial cell grow during the division cycle? This question is answered by the codeveloper of the Cooper-Helmstetter model of DNA replication. In a unique analysis of the bacterial division cycle, Cooper considers the major cell categories (cytoplasm, DNA, and cell surface) and presents a lucid description of bacterial growth during the division cycle.
The concepts of bacterial physiology from Ole Maaløe's Copenhagen school are presented throughout the book and are applied to such topics as the origin of variability, the pattern of DNA segregation, and the principles underlying growth transitions.
The results of research on E. coli are used to explain the division cycles of Caulobacter, Bacilli, Streptococci, and eukaryotes. Insightful reanalysis highlights significant similarities between these cells and E.coli.
With over 25 years of experience in the study of the bacterial division cycle, Cooper has synthesized his ideas and research into an exciting presentation. He manages to write a comprehensive volume that will be of great interest to microbiologists, cell physiologists, cell and molecular biologists, researchers in cell-cycle studies, and mathematicians and engineering scientists interested in modeling cell growth.

Key Features
* Written by one of the codiscoverers of the Cooper-Helmstetter model
* Applies the results of research on E. coli to other groups, including Caulobacter, Bacilli, Streptococci, and eukaryotes; the Caulobacter reanalysis highlights significant similarities with the E. coli system
* Presents a unified description of the bacterial division cycle with relevance to eukaryotic systems
* Addresses the concepts of the Copenhagen School in a new and original way

Book Description

The cell cycle in plants consists of an ordered set of events, including DNA replication and mitosis, that culminates in cell division. As cell division is a fundamental part of a plant's existence and the basis for tissue repair, development and growth, a full understanding of all aspects of this process is of pivotal importance.Cell Cycle Control and Plant Development commences with an introductory chapter and is broadly divided into two parts. Part 1 details the basic cell machinery, with chapters covering cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), cyclins, CDK inhibitors, proteolysis, CDK phosphorylation, and E2F/DP transcription factors. Part 2, which describes the cell cycle and plant development, covers cell cycle activation, cell cycle control during leaf development, endoreduplication, the cell cycle and trichome, fruit and endosperm development, the hormonal control of cell division and environmental stress, and cell cycle exit.The editor of this important book, Professor Dirk Inzé, well known and respected internationally, has brought together an impressive team of contributing authors, providing an excellent new volume in Blackwell Publishing's Annual Plant Reviews Series. The book is an essential purchase for research teams working in the areas of plant sciences and molecular, cell and developmental biology. All libraries in universities and research establishments where biological sciences are studied and taught should have copies of this essential and timely volume.

Book Description

Non-Linear Field Theories of Mechanics has become a classic treatise in the field of continuum mechanics. Originally published nearly forty years ago, it probably has influenced practically all subsequent monographs on the subject. Its main parts are:

- The General Theory of Material Behavior

- Elasticity

- Fluidity

This third edition includes the corrections made by the late C. Truesdell in his personal copy. It is annotated by W. Noll and by S. Antman who describe the monograph’s genesis and the impact it has made on the modern development of mechanics. Originally published as Volume III/3 of the famous Encyclopedia of Physics in 1965, this book describes and summarizes "everything that was both known and worth knowing in the field at the time." It also greatly contributed to the unification and standardization of the concepts, terms and notations in the field.

The bible of rational nonlilnear continuum mechanics.......1998-11-14

If you read no other book on continuum mechanics, read this. The only other book you need read is The Classical Field Theories by Truesdell & Toupin. One must expend effort in reading The Non-linear Field Theories, but one is rewarded with keen insights and the ability to achieve and understand new results.

The bible of continuum mechanics!.......1996-10-28

The Nonlinear Field Theories of Mechanics is THE most comprehensive book on continuum mechanics to date. The multitude of books that have been written on continuum mechanics since the publication of this book (almost forty years ago) derive both their content and inspiration from this book. The Nonlinear Field Theories of Mechanics is an invaluable reference, and any serious researcher in continuum mechanics ought to have a copy of this book. This is the bible or the quran or the gita of continuum mechanics.

Book Description

Told by a master storyteller who, according to critic Russell Nye, “combined adventure, action, violence, crisis, conflict, sentimentalism, and sex in an extremely shrewd mixture,” Riders of the Purple Sage is a classic of the Western genre. It is the story of Lassiter, a gunslinging avenger in black, who shows up in a remote Utah town just in time to save the young and beautiful rancher Jane Withersteen from having to marry a Mormon elder against her will. Lassiter is on his own quest, one that ends when he discovers a secret grave on Jane’s grounds. “[Zane Grey’s] popularity was neither accidental nor undeserved,” wrote Nye. “Few popular novelists have possessed such a grasp of what the public wanted and few have developed Grey’s skill at supplying it.”

Customer Reviews:

Better than the movie.......2007-07-25

I thought the movie was very good, so I bought the book.
The book has the little girl Fay who isn't in the movie.
The details about the Mormons in this era were in the book as well, but not the movie.
I have read books considered classic in English and European literature
that aren't as good as this one!
With this book the American western became literature.

Early Western but not exactly what you'd expect.......2007-04-04

One of the first Westerns, with plenty of action and the romance of the west. It features a rugged individual with a dark past, an independent and hardy woman who is in trouble and a cast of other interesting characters.

I think one of the reasons why we don't hear more about it is that most of the villians in this tale are ... (wait for it) ... Mormons. So there is probably some pressure in various publishing houses, etc not to promote it. Zane Grey paints the LDS group here as patriarchal, polygamous ruffians. You would guess that an early Western would use Native Americans, not Mormons, as the villians.

Anyway, if you are not offended by the choice of bad guys, it's a good story.

Recommended.......2006-07-22

I'm not much of a "Western" reader. But, this was Zane Grey's first book so I thought I'd give it a try. It turned out to be an interesting story. I "read" it as a book on tape. The reader of the book on tape was able to change his voice for each character so the result was like a "radio play". Very enjoyable!

Riders - New Riders.......2006-06-28

There are two basic styles of English prose. One is that of Dashiell Hammett - short words, short sentences, short paragraphs, short chapters, short novels. The other basic style is that of Charles Dickens - long passages of minute, detailed description. Zane Grey wrote in this second style, and he did it very well indeed. The American West comes alive in the pages of this book, a true classic. Calling this "purple prose" is like calling the music of the Grateful Dead "boogie" - it's a putdown that doesn't really mean anything. (Incidentally, a Grateful Dead offshoot band, New Riders of the Purple Sage, was named after this book.) Just as Alice chased a rabbit into Wonderland, so Venters chases a rabbit into Surprise Valley. He discovers true spirituality in the natural world and in other people - not in organized, denominational religion. The theme of this novel is that tyrannical fanaticism - religious and/or political - is dangerous and wrong. Grey was not specifically anti-Mormon. In fact, some of his Mormon charactors were good people. He was against any religious system that was out of control in its lust for power. Think of todays' "religious right", or for that matter, Islamic extremism. Grey would have disliked both.

Great.......2006-02-26

The book came at a timely fashion. It was in great condition and it looked brand new. The book was just as described.

Book Description

It doesn't seem like much of a mystery that Foy Willing's name should be Willing, or that his widow should be named Sharon, and that she is graciously sharing what she can of Foy in her new book No One to Cry To. Foy was so willing to offer and share much of his awareness of the many things that had been bestowed upon him and within him, not the least of which was music.

Foy Willing was, and still is, an incredible source of inspiration for those blessed, like he, to pursue an understanding of the language of music. He spent his life learning all of the componentsCall of that which is found in a song. He so understood all the intricate pieces.

This man always had room and time in his world for those who needed guidance. He was one of the most gifted talents of country and western music, while at the same time contributing in a major way to popular music, before the term "crossover" had ever been coined. Those who knew him can appreciate that, and those who never met him can now have that same opportunity. No One to Cry To makes it possible to have a more complete picture of the man who brought us some of the smoothest western sounds ever recorded.

No one to cry to: Hard Ride into the Sunset with Foy Willing of the Riders of the Purple Sage.......2007-01-18

I was intrigued by the book as my father in-law was Al Sloey, one of the Riders of the Purple Sage. I have some tapes of telephone conversation between Al and Foy. I also have quite a little bit of other memorabilia. The spelling of LaVeta Sloey was incorrect. I purchased copies for my Son and Daughter, Al and LaVeta's grandchildren. I also have letters from Mrs. Jackson to Laveta. Very interesting book.

A Long, Hard Ride, But an Easy Read.......2006-12-12

Anyone old enough to remember the golden days of movies, radio and early television when the cowboy was king and the kings sang some of the sweetest songs in the Golden West, is going to love "No One to Cry To."
This warm, intimate biographical work by Sharon Lee Willing evokes the great Foy Willing and his "Riders of the Purple Sage" whose velvet harmony delivered such classics as "Ghost Riders in the Sky," "Tumblin' Tumbleweeds," "Cool Water" and Willing's own "No One to Cry To" from which the title is derived. When the "Riders" weren't hitting the top of the charts with their singing, they were busy riding at a wild gallop behind Roy Rogers to head the black hats off at the pass in 13 movies. In addition to all that, they sang and toured with some of the brightest stars in the entertainment firmament, including Esther Williams, Red Skelton, Howard Keel and Ann Miller.
The author knows the subject matter well. She is Willing's widow, and she tells the tale of his turbulent life, blessed by genius and cursed by the demons of drugs and alcohol, as no one else could. Even those not old enough to remember Roy, Dale and Trigger, and before them, cowboy star Monte Hall, with whom the Riders also costarred, still may find a taste in this story of what so entranced their parents and grandparents.
Certainly they will remember the songs because after half a century, they're still being played on country western stations.
There is so much in this delicious slice of nostalgia that few fans ever knew. Willing tells, for example, how Dale Evans, the wife of Roy Rogers, lifted Foy Willing's "Happy Trails," tweaked it and made it their theme song, listing herself as the composer.
Sharon Lee Willing, an agile and passionate writer, was married to Foy for 13 years, until his demons wrecked not only his health but their union. Even after they went their separate ways, however, they stayed in constant touch until his death in 1978, as evidenced by the letters they wrote to each other, which are included in the text.
The subtitle of the book is, "A Long, Hard Ride into the Sunset with Foy Willing and the Riders of the Purple Sage." Sharon Lee Willing rode a good bit the journey at his side, and her recounting of that adventure will win the hearts even of fans who may be meeting Foy for the first time. Read the book, then watch for the biopic that is bound to follow. Hollywood can no more resist this story than can Foy Willing's fans.

Jane Withersteen gazed down the wide purple slope with dreamy and troubled eyes. A rider had just left her and it was his message that held her thoughtful and almost sad, awaiting the churchmen who were coming to resent and attack her right to befriend a Gentile. She wondered if the unrest and strife that had lately come to the little village of Cottonwoods was to in-volve her. And then she sighed, remembering that her father had founded this remotest border settlement of southern Utah and that he had left it to her. She owned all the ground and many of the cottages. Withersteen House was hers, and the great ranch, with its thousands of cattle, and the swiftest horses of the sage. To her belonged Amber Spring, the water which gave verdure and beauty to the village and made living possible on that wild purple upland waste. She could not escape being involved by whatever befell Cottonwoods.
