Biostatistics for the Biological and Health Sciences brings
statistical theories and methods to life with real applications,
emphasis on real data, and a friendly writing style. It suits a
variety of students in their first statistics course and uses
minimal algebra. Abundant examples and emphasis on real data help
you develop skills in critical thinking, technology and
communication. This collaboration from 2 biological sciences
experts and the author of the #1 statistics book is an excellent
introduction that is also highly readable, understandable and
relevant. The 3rd Edition incorporates the latest methods used by
professional statisticians. It offers a wealth of new data sets,
examples, and exercises (such as those involving clinical trials,
COVID-19, biometrics, and anthropometrics) and includes features
that address all recommendations included in the Guidelines for
Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) as
recommended by the American Statistical Association.
Plant Nematode Biopesticides presents the most current knowledge on
various categories of biopesticides used in the management of
nematode pests of crops or those that have significant potential as
biological control agents. This book presents an exploratory and
investigatory compilation and explanation of the actions and
potentials of predatory nematodes, microbial agents, plant and
other organic products, nanobiopesticides, and predatory
invertebrates as biopesticides of nematode pests of agricultural
crops. It is of unique importance and value as the only currently
available single-volume resource focusing on plant parasitic
nematodes as the pests and biopesticides. In addition, the book
addresses common reservations in using biopesticides, either alone
or in integrated pest management programs, providing advanced
insights on various biopesticidal agents and products.
Biopesticides may be microbial (nematodes, bacteria, fungi, virus,
herbs etc.), plant-incorporated protectants (PIPs), plant products
(citronella oil, neem oil, capsaicin, pyrethrin etc.), synthetic
biochemical molecules, pheromones, semio-chemicals, plant extracts,
or nanobiopesticides.
Brain Candy for expectant parents
Pregnancy is an adventure.
Lots of books tell you the basics--"the baby is the size of insert
fruit here]." But pregnant science writer Jena Pincott began to
wonder just how a baby might tinker with her body--and vice
versa--and chased down answers to the questions she wouldn't ask
her doctor, such as:
- Does stress sharpen your baby's mind--or dull it?
- Can you predict your baby's temperament?
- Why are babies born in the darker months of the year more likely
to grow up to be novelty-loving risk takers?
- Are bossy, dominant women more likely to have boys?
- How can the cells left behind by your baby affect you years
later?
This is a different kind of pregnancy book--thoughtful, fun, and
filled with information you won't find anywhere else.
