Download or read book Biotechnology written by David P. Clark and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2009 with total page 765 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Unlike most textbooks on this subject, Biotechnology approaches modern biotechnology from a molecular basis. Using straightforward, less technical jargon, Clark and Pazdernik introduce students to the topics and walk them through the process as it evolves into a more specific detailed principle." "This up-to-date text covers a wide realm of topics that are encountered in current media and movies. One of the chapters covers the burgeoning field of nanobiotechnology, stimulating the student to think about biotechnology from a new and much smaller point of view. Another chapter explains the real biotechnology behind crime scene investigations portrayed so dramatically on the hit show CSI. In addition, students will learn about the biotechnology behind making vaccines, genetically-modified plants, stem-cell research, gene therapy, and aging, among many other topics that are part of mainstream media coverage. Students will also learn the molecular basis for many viral diseases, cancer, and bacterial diseases that are bound to affect them or other family members. Finally, the text includes a very thought-provoking chapter on the bioethics of these new advances and applications of today's world of biotechnology, which stimulates the student to think rather than memorize."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Classical Music written by Phil G. Goulding and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2011-03-16 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MAKE A SOUND INVESTMENT IN CLASSICAL MUSIC Who are the ten most important classical composers? Who in the world was Palestrina? Why did Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" cause a riot? Which five of each important composer's works should you buy? What is a concerto and how does it differ from a sonata? Maybe you don't know the answers to these questions; author Phil Goulding certainly didn't. When Goulding first tried to learn about classical music, he found himself buried in an avalanche of technical terms and complicated jargon--so he decided to write the book he couldn't find. The result is a complete classical music education in one volume. Comprehensive, discriminating, and delightfully irreverent, Classical Music provides such essential information as: * Rankings of the top 50 composers (Bach is #1. Borodin is #50) * A detailed and anecdotal look at each composer's life and work * The five primary works of each composer and specific recommended CDs for each. * Further great works of each composer--if you really like him * Concise explanations of musical terminology, forms, and periods * A guide to the parts and history of the symphony orchestra "This book uses every conceivable gimmick to immerse readers in the richness of classical music: lists, rankings, sidebars devoted to lively anecdotes, and catchy leads." --The Washington Post "One terrific music appreciation book...The information is surprisingly detailed but concisely presented. Goulding's writing style is breezy yet mature....[He] has raised music appreciation from a racket to a service." --The Arizona Daily Star

Download or read book Engineering Principles in Biotechnology written by Wei-Shou Hu and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-09-06 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a short introduction to the engineering principles of harnessing the vast potential of microorganisms, and animal and plant cells in making biochemical products. It was written for scientists who have no background in engineering, and for engineers with minimal background in biology. The overall subject dealt with is process. But the coverage goes beyond the process of biomanufacturing in the bioreactor, and extends to the factory of cell’s biosynthetic machinery. Starting with an overview of biotechnology and organism, engineers are eased into biochemical reactions and life scientists are exposed to the technology of production using cells. Subsequent chapters allow engineers to be acquainted with biochemical pathways, while life scientist learn about stoichiometric and kinetic principles of reactions and cell growth. This leads to the coverage of reactors, oxygen transfer and scale up. Following three chapters on biomanufacturing of current and future importance, i.e. cell culture, stem cells and synthetic biology, the topic switches to product purification, first with a conceptual coverage of operations used in bioseparation, and then a more detailed analysis to provide a conceptual understanding of chromatography, the modern workhorse of bioseparation. Drawing on principles from engineering and life sciences, this book is for practitioners in biotechnology and bioengineering. The author has used the book for a course for advanced students in both engineering and life sciences. To this end, problems are provided at the end of each chapter.
