Benjamin Lewin Bücher

From renowned author Benjamin Lewin comes the newest edition of his classic text, Genes IX. For decades Lewin has provided the teaching community with the most cutting edge presentation of molecular biology and molecular genetics, covering gene structure, sequencing, organization, and expression. The new Ninth Edition boasts a fresh modern design and contemporary art program, as well as a new organization which allows students to focus more sharply on individual topics. Thoroughly updated throughout, including a new chapter on Epigenetic Effects, Genes IX proves to be the most current, comprehensive and student-friendly molecular biology text available!

The unique feature of this book's first edition was the presentation of a unified approach to the molecular biology of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The success of this approach, and its continuation, is the result of a long string of discoveries showing similarities in solutions to biological problems that often extend across many or even all species. A six-part organization covers genes, proteins, gene expression, DNA, the nucleus, and cells. For individuals in the science community interested in genetics.

What Price Bordeaux? presents a unique overview of the forces making Bordeaux wine what it is today. The book considers terroir, how events ranging from the phylloxera plague to global warming have changed the fundamental nature of Bordeaux, the mysteries of the en primeur system, the rising influence of oenologues and critics, the changing nature of the wine itself, and the rise and fall of various chateaux. A running theme is the powerful effect that the classification of 1855 continues to have on the chateaux of both Left and Right Banks, and this and the other classification systems are considered before concluding with a new classification of the chateaux based on the existing market. Contents: Terroir and Typicite; A Sense of Place; The Importance of Being Classified; Wine in the Time of Classification; The Land and the Brand; Crisis and Prosperity; Winners and Losers; The Price of Reputation; The Rise of the Right Bank; The New Bordeaux; Grand Vins and Second Wines; Plus Ca Change; Rational Classification.

This is the second edition of a widely recognized and authoritative text, written by an authority in the field. Emphasises modern topics, and reflects progress in DNA technology and focuses more on direct analysis of the genome. Preliminary chapters are presented which examine the biochemical basis for heredity as seen through the structure of DNA, making it accessible for the student with only a casual knowledge of biochemistry. Features include extensive new figures, drawings and illustrations.

The definitive textbook of molecular genetics Genes VII, the latest edition of this well-respected and best-selling textbook, covers the material that is at the heart of current courses in molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, and related disciplines. In a change to the approach of all previous editions, which started with a traditional analysis of formal genetics, the seventh edition presents the subject in the context of the eukaryotic gene as revealed in the last decade, an analysis based directly on the molecular properties of the gene itself. The new approach has made the book more concise and a new design presents the material in a refreshingly clear manner. Genes VII gives an integrated account of the structure and function of genes in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Important features of the text include: An extensively updated and restructured content to reflect modern thinking Revised layout which presents the most current research even more clearly and concisely Direct analysis of the genome in terms of its content of genes Over 800 full colour graphics to illustrate important concepts Overview figures that summarize large amounts of work Free access to all illustrations, making learning and teaching from this book even easier.
