Now in full-color, the Second Edition of Human Evolutionary
Genetics has been completely revised to cover the rapid advances in
the field since publication of the highly regarded First Edition.
Written for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, it is
the only textbook to integrate genetic, archaeological, and
linguistic perspectives on human evolution, and to offer a genomic
perspective, reflecting the shift from studies of specific regions
of the genome towards comprehensive genomewide analyses of human
genetic diversity.
Human Evolutionary Genetics is suitable for courses in Genetics,
Evolution, and Anthropology. Those readers with a background in
anthropology will find that the streamlined genetic analysis
material contained in the Second Edition is more accessible. The
new edition also integrates new technologies (including
next-generation sequencing and genome-wide SNP typing) and new data
analysis methods, including recent data on ancient genomes and
their impact on our understanding of human evolution. The book also
examines the subject of personal genomics and its implications.
"Neither a "Starting Linux" book nor a dry reference manual, this
book has a lot to offer to those coming to Fedora from other
operating systems or distros." - Behdad Esfahbod, Fedora developer.
This book will get you up to speed quickly on Fedora Linux, a
securely-designed Linux distribution that includes a massive
selection of free software packages. Fedora is hardened
out-of-the-box, it's easy to install, and extensively customizable
- and this book shows you how to make Fedora work for you. "Fedora
Linux: A Complete Guide to Red Hat's Community Distribution" will
take you deep into essential Fedora tasks and activities by
presenting them in easy-to-learn modules. From installation and
configuration through advanced topics such as administration,
security, and virtualization, this book captures the important
details of how Fedora Core works - without the fluff that bogs down
other books and help/how-to web sites. Instead, you can learn from
a concise task-based approach to using Fedora as both a desktop and
server operating system. In this book, you'll learn how to: Install
Fedora and perform basic administrative tasks; Configure the KDE
and GNOME desktops; Get power management working on your notebook
computer and hop on a wired or wireless network; Find, install, and
update any of the thousands of packages available for Fedora;
Perform backups, increase reliability with RAID, and manage your
disks with logical volumes; Set up a server with file sharing, DNS,
DHCP, email, a Web server, and more; and Work with Fedora's
security features including SELinux, PAM, and Access Control Lists
(ACLs). Whether you are running the stable version of Fedora Core
or bleeding-edge Rawhide releases, this book has something for
every level of user. The modular, lab-based approach not only shows
you how things work-but also explains why - and provides you with
the answers you need to get up and running with Fedora Linux.
This book puts you in charge of the most flexible and adaptable
graphical interface in the computer industry. The X Window System
underlies graphical desktops on Linux and Unix systems, and
supports advanced features of modern graphics cards. More people
use the X Window System than ever before, but there are few books
about X in print. "X Power Tools" fills that hole with the most
practical and up-to-date information available. Written in
O'Reilly's popular "Power Tools" format, "X Power Tools" offers
dozens of standalone articles, thoroughly cross-referenced, on
useful tools and techniques for using X.This unique inside look at
X gives Unix/Linux system administrators, owners of
self-administered systems, and power users a lot of useful ways to
harness the power of this system effectively. This book: offers a
thorough grounding in X configuration and how the system works;
provides the complete ins and outs of changing a desktop's
behavior, such as fonts, keyboard settings, and remote security;
includes articles on how to take advantage of X's "network
transparency" - its ability to display graphical applications on a
remote machine; explores intriguing areas such as using multiple
monitors, building kiosks, and accessibility; and features
discussions on X Window innovations and the future of the system.
"X Power Tools" covers configuration and use of X, focusing on
Linux but also including notes on other operating systems such as
Solaris and FreeBSD. Each article in the book gives you insight
into X; the entire book gives you a real grasp on this system and
what you can do with it.
