The Zebrafish: Cellular and Developmental Biology

$162

This volume of Methods in Cell Biology, the first of two parts on the subject of zebrafish, provides a comprehensive compendia of laboratory protocols and reviews covering all the new methods developed since 1999. This first volume provides state-of-the-art descriptions of novel cellular imaging technologies and methods for culture of zebrafish stem cells, summarizes protocols for analyzingthe development of major organ systems including the central nervous system (CNS), and introduces the use of the zebrafish as a model system for human diseases.

God and the Embryo by Brent Waters, ISBN 087840998X

Discussions and debates over the medical use of stem cells and cloning have always had a religious component. But there are many different religious voices. This anthology on how religious perspectives can inform the difficult issues of stem cell research and human cloning is essential to the discussion. Contributors reflect the spectrum of Christian responses, from liberal Protestant to evangelical to Roman Catholic. The noted moral philosopher Laurie Zoloth offers a Jewish approach to cloning, and Sondra Wheeler contributes her perspective on both Jewish and Christian understandings of embryonic stem cell research. In addition to the discussions found here, "God and the Embryo includes a series of official statements on stem cell research and cloning from religious bodies, including the Roman Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church in America, the United Methodist Church, the Southern Baptist Convention, the United Church of Christ, the Presbyterian Church (USA), and the Union of Orthodox...

Stem Cells

Few scientific breakthroughs have generated as much controversy as stem cell research. Some see stem cell research as the cure-all for the diseases of modern society--heart disease, Alzheimer's, diabetes, and Parkinson's disease. Yet others question the ethics of stem cell research and worry about its future paths. Stem Cells explains the science behind the research, describes the possibilities stem cell therapies, and analyzes the basis of the controversy that surrounds what may be tomorrow's "miracle cure.

Conducting Online Surveys

The pace of modern life and the development of technology has had a significant impact on survey methodology. Cell phones, fewer land phone lines and do-not-call lists make traditional phone surveys increasingly difficult to administer. The proliferation of sales appeals and other "junk" mail render old-fashioned mail surveys almost useless. And, for most practitioners, the cost of face-to-face survey administration is prohibitive. Online surveys provide promising opportunities for dealing with many of these issues. Of course, as one problem is solved another is uncovered. For example, addressing the "cell phone problem" by using an online survey may call the representativeness of the resulting sample into question. These technological problems and opportunities necessitate up-to-date instruction in online survey research methodology.This book will serve as a comprehensive guide for anyone wishing to conduct online survey research. It will fill a considerable niche in the methodological... Conducting Online Surveys

Planetary Dreams: The Quest to Discover Life Beyond Earth by Robert Shapiro, ISBN 0471179361

The Quest To Discover Life Beyond Earth.

"The 'dreams' that I write of are not the usual ones, the images that come up in our minds involuntarily during certain stages of sleep, but rather the hopes and expectations that we have lavished upon other worlds around us."--from the Preface.

The surprisingly long history of debate over extraterrestrial life is full of marvelous visions of what life "out there" might be like, as well as remarkable stories of alleged sightings and heated disputes about the probability that life might actually have arisen more than once. In "Planetary Dreams, acclaimed author Robert Shapiro explores this rich history of dreams and debates in search of the best current answers to the most elusive and compelling of all questions: Are we alone?

In his pursuit, he presents three contrasting views regarding how life might have started: through Divine Creation, by a highly unlikely stroke of luck, or by the inevitable process of a natural law that he terms...
