Rubberlike Elasticity: A Molecular Primer

Cambridge University Press, 2007

Elastomers and rubberlike materials form a critical component in diverse applications that range from tyres to biomimetics and are used in chemical, biomedical, mechanical and electrical engineering. This updated and expanded second edition provides an elementary introduction to the physical and molecular concepts governing elastic behaviour,...

Quality of Life and Human Difference: Genetic Testing, Health Care, and Disability

Cambridge University Press, 2005

Genetic technology has enabled us to test fetuses for an increasing number of diseases and impairments. On the basis of this genetic information, prospective parents can predict – and prevent – the birth of children likely to have those conditions. In developed countries, prenatal genetic testing has now become a...

All the Mathematics You Missed: But Need to Know for Graduate School

Cambridge University Press, 2001

Math is Exciting. We are living in the greatest age of mathematics ever seen. In the 1930s, there were some people who feared that the rising abstractions of the early twentieth century would either lead to mathematicians working on sterile, silly intellectual exercises or to mathematics splitting into sharply distinct...

Neuroethics: Challenges for the 21st Century

Cambridge University Press, 2007

In the late 1960s, a new field of philosophical and moral enquiry came into existence. Bioethics, as it soon came to be called, quickly mushroomed: it developed its own journals, its own professional associations, its own conferences, degree programs and experts. It developed very rapidly for many reasons, but no doubt the main...

Analgesia, Anaesthesia and Pregnancy: A Practical Guide

Cambridge University Press, 2007

There are now many large and authoritative texts on obstetric anaesthesia and analgesia available to the anaesthetic trainee. With reduced time available for obstetric anaesthetic training, we feel there is a need for a shorter, more practically based text, suitable for both the trainee starting in the maternity suite and the...

The Biology of Schwann Cells: Development, Differentiation and Immunomodulation

Cambridge University Press, 2007

It is now over 200 years since Theodore Schwann first described the cell which bears his name. Such early descriptions of nervous system components were done without the powerful microscopes we have today, yet Schwann and Ramon Y. Cajal made foundation observations which still stand. Cajal’s papers, especially, show the...

Infertility in the Modern World: Present and Future Prospects (Biosocial Society Symposium Series)

Cambridge University Press, 2001

As we enter the twenty-first century, a number of medical, environmental, and social changes have profoundly affected human reproduction. This book discusses some of the more dramatic changes in an accessible manner, illustrating the ways in which human biology and culture can affect fertility. It provides a unique interdisciplinary...

Baroclinic Tides: Theoretical Modeling and Observational Evidence

Cambridge University Press, 2005

This book was first published in 2005. When an oceanic tidal wave that is primarily active on the water surface passes an ocean shelf or a region with a seamount, it is split into a less energetic surface wave and other internal modes with different wavelengths and propagation speeds. This cascading process, from the barotropic tides to the...

Pharmacogenetics of Psychotropic Drugs

Cambridge University Press, 2002

This book provides a conceptual framework for understanding and studying the pharmacogenetics of psychotropic drugs, reviews advances in the field, and describes the findings that have already emerged. Coverage extends to antipsychotics, antidepressants and mood stabilizing, cognitive-enhancing and anxiolytic drugs. The volume also examines...

Speaking about Science: A Manual for Creating Clear Presentations

Cambridge University Press, 2006

In an age when so much communication is tethered to technology, delivering messages face-to-face has paradoxically become even more vital to professional success. We all have ready access to more information than any of our ancestors did. At the click of a few keys, we can locate reams of facts on any topic under the sun. But...
