For more than four decades, Molecular Biology of the Cell has distilled the vast amount of scientific knowledge to illuminate basic principles, enduring concepts and cutting-edge research. The Seventh Edition has been extensively revised and updated with the latest research, and has been thoroughly vetted by experts and instructors. The classic companion text, The Problems Book, has been reimagined as the Digital Problems Book in Smartwork, an interactive digital assessment course with a wide selection of questions and automatic-grading functionality. The digital format with embedded animations and dynamic question types makes the Digital Problems Book in Smartwork easier to assign than ever before-for both in-person and online classes.

Join Moggy the Morris Minor Traveller as he embarks on a fun-filled, interactive pirate adventure that will transport you to the wild and wonderful west coast of Cornwall. Moggy is on the hunt for hidden treasure, and he will need your help to solve the clues left by cunning pirate Captain Redbeard. Journey from one landmark to the next, with clear illustrations to guide you, and a subtle palette that captures the colours of a timeless summer landscape. Help solve the 12 engaging picture puzzles that young children will enjoy exploring again and again, on their own, or shared with an adult. Moggy's retro and friendly features and an entertaining narrative will see young readers bond with this loveable character, who is full of praise for their help along the way. Children's author and artist Peter Walters follows his award-winning debut book 'The Hungriest Mouth in the Sea' with another "mix of textures that adds an eye-catching dimension to his vibrant collages."(Publisher's Weekly). Each of the uniquely illustrated challenges is imaginatively linked to the next, creating a refreshing storybook feel for the puzzle book genre.

It is widely accepted that there is a relationship between ice volume and the solar insolation in summer in the northern hemisphere. The Earth's glacial cycles are driven by cyclic changes in the Earth's orbital elements. This conclusion is based on the strong coherence between the approx. 20000 and 40000 year spectral components of ice volume and insolation (Milankovitch-curve) records. These frequencies are determined by the variation of the obliquity of the Earth's axis and by its position relative to the Earth's orbit around the sun. The degree of sum mer insolation on the Earth's northern Hemisphere is believed to be relevant to climate because the North Atlantic is where cold saline water is being formed. Present day deep water circulation is driven by salt build-up in due to net evapora tion. In contrast, in the North Pacific precipitation exceeds evaporation. Thus, deep water transfers a surplus of salt from the N. Atlantic to the North Pacific. This surface water delivers also oxygen to the deep ocean. In contrast, upwelling deep water transfers nutrients from the deep ocean to the surface water. Today the time of renewal of deep water is in the order of 1000 years."

This text provides an introduction to ergodic theory suitable for readers knowing basic measure theory. The mathematical prerequisites are summarized in Chapter 0. It is hoped the reader will be ready to tackle research papers after reading the book. The first part of the text is concerned with measure-preserving transformations of probability spaces; recurrence properties, mixing properties, the Birkhoff ergodic theorem, isomorphism and spectral isomorphism, and entropy theory are discussed. Some examples are described and are studied in detail when new properties are presented. The second part of the text focuses on the ergodic theory of continuous transformations of compact metrizable spaces. The family of invariant probability measures for such a transformation is studied and related to properties of the transformation such as topological traitivity, minimality, the size of the non-wandering set, and existence of periodic points. Topological entropy is introduced and related to measure-theoretic entropy. Topological pressure and equilibrium states are discussed, and a proof is given of the variational principle that relates pressure to measure-theoretic entropies. Several examples are studied in detail. The final chapter outlines significant results and some applications of ergodic theory to other branches of mathematics.

"The Story of Coventry" is a long overdue general history of the city, from earliest times to the present, concluding with comments on the issues, challenges, and opportunities that the twenty-first century will present. Neither does the author neglect the city's architectural development and heritage. Rather than being narrowly focused on local history, the book will attempt to show, where appropriate, how what happened had a wider significance. The author has an eye for a telling anecdote, and this, together with his lively and easy journalistic style and authoritative research, will make the book appealing to anyone who is seeking to find out more about this fascinating and much misunderstood city - whose history is forever overshadowed by the Second World War.

Felt making was once a major textile industry in Britain. but today there is virtually no sign that it ever existed. This book documents the rise of the felt industry from its early beginnings in the early nineteenth century to its eventual collapse a few years before the new millenium. However, it is not just a history it explains in detail how felt was made commercially and what the precise conditions were to make the best felt. The book also covers the social aspects of the industry with portraits of the personalities who shaped the course of events. Much of the content is original and has never been published before and gives a unique insight into how felt making was conducted in Britain and the impact it made on everyday products. Technical aspects of making felt are dealt with in a way that is accessible to everyone, without the need for any prior knowledge. The book is aimed at anyone with an interest in felt, including textile historians, or craft felt makers who want to commercialise their creations.

This posthumous edition of Dr Walters' The Text of the Septuagint provides a valuable working tool for specialists in Hellenistic and Classical Greek and the Old and New Testaments. The book is directed first to the practical task of producing a critical edition of the Septuagint, the Greek version of the Old Testament. Byzantine and Renaissance scholars both regarded the Greek Old Testament as belonging to the Church rather than to the heritage of classical literature which formed the proper object of their critical endeavours. It was therefore reproduced for centuries in much the same corrupt form and no complete critical edition was produced. The present work is a detailed study of the grammatical corruptions and semitisms in the LXX and is intended to stand as the prolegomenon to such an edition.
