A stunningly illustrated guide to the wonderful world of
hummingbirds With their glorious colors, glittering iridescence,
astonishing powers of flight, and many characteristics unique in
the world of birds, hummingbirds are extraordinary-true jewels of
nature. This beautiful book is a celebration of all aspects of
hummingbirds and their world. It features hundreds of the most
spectacular photographs of hummingbirds ever taken, exquisite
illustrations, and a lively, readable text that presents the latest
scientific information and includes up-to-date details about every
species. A familiar sight across much of the Americas, hummingbirds
have long captured the imagination and played an important part in
myths, legends, and other aspects of human culture. Today,
hummingbirds are among the most popular of all birds, sought after
by serious and casual birders alike. They inspire questions in
anyone lucky enough to see them. How can they fly like that? Why
are they so colorful? How many are there? Where and how do they
live? How do they survive? This book answers these and many other
questions, providing an enlightening and enjoyable guide to
hummingbirds that can only deepen their wonder. A definitive yet
accessible account of all aspects of hummingbird life More than 540
spectacular color photographs, illustrating all 101 hummingbird
genera and over two-thirds of the world's 369 species Specially
commissioned illustrations revealing details of anatomy and
behavior Meticulously researched facts and figures on status,
population, distribution, and conservation designations of all the
world's hummingbirds

This thesis describes the inception, design, and implementation of
stereoselective desymmetrization reactions in the total synthesis
of the natural products pactamycin and paspaline. In the case of
pactamycin, the author develops a novel asymmetric Mannich reaction
and symmetry-breaking reduction strategy to enable facile
construction of the complex core architecture in fifteen steps
using commercially available materials - the shortest synthesis to
date. He subsequently demonstrates the flexibility of this approach
in SAR investigations by highlighting the preparation of
twenty-five unique pactamycin structural congeners. For paspaline,
the author develops a biocatalytic desymmetrization strategy that
allows the highly controlled synthesis of core stereochemistry and
provides a platform for the development of new conceptual
disconnections in the synthesis of "steroid-like" natural products.
This thesis offers a valuable resource for students embarking on a
PhD in total synthesis.
Mitosis: Methods and Protocols provides state-of-the-art overviews
on the most important approaches currently used in mitosis research
spanning from the analysis of single molecules in isolation to
their utilization within the complex environment of the cell. The
volume is divided into four parts, each focused on methods
pertaining to distinct aspects of mitosis research. Part I presents
approaches for visualizing and analyzing the dynamic behaviors of
the spindle apparatus, the microtubule based machine that drives
chromosome segregation. Part II focuses more generally on methods
for studying and manipulating the microtubule cytoskeleton in cells
and complex cell free extracts. Part III provides state of the art
biophysical and high resolution microscopy approaches for assessing
complex interactions between microtubules and
microtubule-associated proteins in isolation as well as microtubule
structure in cells. Part IV provides methods for studying the
effects of cell shape on cell division and methods for quantifying
aneuploidy (aberrant chromosome number) which frequently results
from mitotic defects and has been linked to human maladies ranging
from birth defects to cancer. Written in the highly successful
Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include
introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary
materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible
laboratory protocols and key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding
known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Mitosis: Methods and
Protocols seeks to provide diverse methods and new techniques to
address new or old questions related to the mechanisms of mitosis.

An in-depth analysis of thermoelectric theory, an overview of
present day thermoelectric materials and devices, and updated
information on the most studied thermoelectric materials
development. The main emphasis is on a basic understanding of the
concepts as well as experimental techniques needed to propel
researchers towards new and novel classes of thermoelectric
materials with enhanced properties.
This book contains an in-depth analysis of thermoelectric theory, an overview of present day thermoelectric materials and devices, and as an updated source of information on the most studied recent thermoelectric materials developments. The main emphasis is on a basic understanding of the concepts and experimental techniques needed to propel researchers towards new and novel classes of thermoelectric materials with enhanced properties. The aim is to assist researchers in the field. The text is an expanded edition of a previous text "Electronic Refrigeration" by one of the authors, Julian Goldsmid. Half of the text is devoted to research that has taken place since the publication of that text. In addition, emphasis is placed on new materials research and developments.
