Your gut is astonishingly clever. It contains millions of neurons - as many as you would find in the brain of a cat - and is home to the microbiome, trillions of microbes that influence your mood, your immune system, and even your appetite.
In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Mosley takes us on a revelatory journey through the gut, showing how junk food and overuse of antibiotics have wiped out many good gut bacteria, leading to a modern plague of allergies, food intolerances, and obesity.
Drawing from the latest cutting-edge research, Dr. Mosley provides scientifically proven ways to control your cravings, boost your mood, and lose weight by encouraging a more diverse microbiome and increasing the good bacteria that keep you healthy.
Packed with delicious, healing recipes, meal plans, checklists, and tips, The Clever Guts Diet includes all the tools you need to transform your gut and your health, for life.
An Introduction To Scholarship offers a practical, skills-based approach to developing the basic academic and critical thinking skills required to succeed in the tertiary environment.
Features:
- A scenario or case study relevant to the problems discussed in the chapter Margin glosses of difficult or new vocabulary
- Short explanations of theory and examples, followed by practical, guided activities
- A range of response and comprehension questions, as well as more challenging, higher order cognitive questions
- Links to practical activities and assessments on the Learning Zone
- A final question that encourages students to think critically about what they have covered, and how it integrates with their studies in general
Prestigious and authoritative, this fully updated fourteenth edition of Simpson's Forensic Medicine remains a classic; one of the world's leading introductory texts in the field of forensic medicine.
It presents all that the generalist or student needs to know about the interface between medicine and the law.
Renowned for its clear writing style and unparalleled visuals, Starr/Evers/Starr’s trendsetting BIOLOGY: CONCEPTS AND APPLICATIONS, 10TH EDITION applies exclusive National Geographic content to engage students and emphasize how biology is an ongoing endeavor carried out by a diverse community of scientists.
Each chapter explores core concepts aligned with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) initiative to help students master associated learning objectives. By continuously challenging students to question what they read and to apply the concepts they learn, this edition and the accompanying MindTap digital resources hone critical thinking skills as students gain scientific literacy.
The field of antibody engineering has become a vital and integral
part of making new, improved next generation therapeutic monoclonal
antibodies, of which there are currently more than 300 in clinical
trials across several therapeutic areas. Therapeutic antibody
engineering examines all aspects of engineering monoclonal
antibodies and analyses the effect that various genetic engineering
approaches will have on future candidates. Chapters in the first
part of the book provide an introduction to monoclonal antibodies,
their discovery and development and the fundamental technologies
used in their production. Following chapters cover a number of
specific issues relating to different aspects of antibody
engineering, including variable chain engineering, targets and
mechanisms of action, classes of antibody and the use of antibody
fragments, among many other topics. The last part of the book
examines development issues, the interaction of human IgGs with
non-human systems, and cell line development, before a conclusion
looking at future issues affecting the field of therapeutic
antibody engineering.
Goes beyond the standard engineering issues covered by most books
and delves into structure-function relationshipsIntegration of
knowledge across all areas of antibody engineering, development,
and marketingDiscusses how current and future genetic engineering
of cell lines will pave the way for much higher productivity
The OCR A level Lab Books support students in completing the A
level Core Practical requirements. This lab book includes: all the
instructions students need to perform the Core Practicals,
consistent with our A level online teaching resources writing
frames for students to record their results and reflect on their
work CPAC Skills Checklists, so that students can track the
practical skills they have learned, in preparation for their exams
practical skills practice questions a full set of answers. This lab
book is designed to help students to: structure their A level lab
work to ensure that they cover the Core Practical assessment
criteria track their progress in the development of A level

Exam Board: OCR Level: A level Subject: Science / Biology First
teaching: September 2015 First exams: June 2017 An ActiveBook is
included with every Student Book, giving your students easy online
access to the content in the Student Book. They can make it their
own with notes, highlights and links to their wider reading.
Perfect for supporting work and revision activities. Student Book 1
supports a standalone AS course and provides the first year of a
two-year A level course; Student Books 1 and 2 together support the
full A level course. A cumulative approach to learning constantly
builds on what has previously been taught. The chapter openers
highlight prior learning requirements and link to future learning.
The required maths skills are highlighted at the start of each
chapter providing opportunities for students to check understanding
and remedy gaps. Bigger spreads require students to read real-life
material that's relevant to the course and use knowledge in new
contexts. Accompanying questions require students to analyse how
scientists write, think critically and consider issues. Preparing
for your exams sections highlight the key differences between
preparing for an AS and full A level exam. Practice question
spreads provide opportunities for students to regularly check their
understanding using questions written in the style of the new exams
from day one.

learning constantly builds on what has previously been learnt. Each
topic is introduced within a wider context. Concepts are revisited
and developed in later topics. Integrated math sand stats support
directs students to online maths resources. Thinking Bigger spreads
require students to use knowledge in new contexts and think about
connections and develop essential assessment skills throughout
course. Real-life articles engage students with current biological
writing and develop scientific literacy skills needed for A level
and beyond. Checkpoints consolidate knowledge through summarizing
tasks Practical activities provide opportunities for students to
practise their skills and develop understanding of practical
requirements. Material has been updated to reflect revisions,
additions and deletions to changes in the subject content.
Developed for the new International A Level specification, these
new resources are specifically designed for international students,
with a strong focus on progression, recognition and transferable
skills, allowing learning in a local context to a global standard.
Recognised by universities worldwide and fully comparable to UK
reformed GCE A levels. Supports a modular approach, in line with
the specification. Appropriate international content puts learning
in a real-world context, to a global standard, making it engaging
and relevant for all learners. Reviewed by a language specialist to
ensure materials are written in a clear and accessible style. The
embedded transferable skills, needed for progression to higher
education and employment, are signposted so students understand
what skills they are developing and therefore go on to use these
skills more effectively in the future. Exam practice provides
opportunities to assess understanding and progress, so students can
make the best progress they can.
