All too often, individuals engaged in the biomedical sciences
assume that numeric data must be left to the proper authorities
(e.g., statisticians and data analysts) who are trained to apply
sophisticated mathematical algorithms to sets of data. This is a
terrible mistake. Individuals with keen observational skills,
regardless of their mathematical training, are in the best position
to draw correct inferences from their own data and to guide the
subsequent implementation of robust, mathematical analyses. Volume
2 of Logic and Critical Thinking in the Biomedical Sciences
provides readers with a repertoire of deductive non-mathematical
methods that will help them draw useful inferences from their own
data. Volumes 1 and 2 of Logic and Critical Thinking in the
Biomedical Sciences are written for biomedical scientists and
college-level students engaged in any of the life sciences,
including bioinformatics and related data sciences.

A Mohawk Memoir from the War of 1812 presents the story of John
Norton, or Teyoninhokarawen, an important war chief and political
figure among the Grand River Haudenosaunee (or Iroquois) in Upper
Canada. Norton saw more action during the conflict than almost
anyone else, being present at the fall of Detroit; the capture of
Fort Niagara; the battles of Queenston Heights, Fort George, Stoney
Creek, Chippawa, and Lundy's Lane; the blockades of Fort George and
Fort Erie; and a large number of skirmishes and front-line patrols.
His memoir describes the fighting, the stresses suffered by
indigenous peoples, and the complex relationships between the
Haudenosaunee and both their British allies and other First Nations
communities. Norton's account, written in 1815 and 1816, provides
nearly one-third of the book's content, with the remainder
consisting of Carl Benn's introductions and annotations, which
enable readers to understand Norton's fascinating autobiography
within its historical contexts. With the assistance of modern
scholarship, A Mohawk Memoir presents an exceptional opportunity to
explore the War of 1812 and native-newcomer issues not only through
Teyoninhokarawen's Mohawk perspective but in his own words.
Immunopathology, Volume 107 in the Advances in Virus Research
series, highlights new advances in the field, with this new volume
presenting interesting chapters. Each chapter is written by an
international board of authors. Viral Immunopathology will cover
how the immune system, innate or adaptive, is often at the root of
viral pathogenesis. This is true in diverse host systems including
vertebrates, plants and insects. This volume will present the
latest findings in this interesting and important area of research,
and will include human, plant, fish, and insect viruses. Different
kingdoms have evolved very diverse immune responses to virus
infection but the common theme - namely, that effects of viruses on
host immune systems can condition the induction of viral disease -
will unify this concept across kingdoms.
