Life: The Science of Biology, Vol. I

THE NEXT GREAT CHAPTER IN THE STORY OF LIFE

 

The science of biology evolves. The science classroom and lab evolve. In this edition, as
always, Life: The Science of Biology evolves with them, in innovative, authoritative, and
captivating ways.

From the first edition to the present, Life has set the standard for being the most balanced experimentally-based introductory biology text. Life has always presented how we know (the process of science through experiments) as well as what we know (facts derived from these experiments). The new edition builds on this legacy, again teaching fundamental concepts and the latest developments by taking students step by step through the research that revealed them. To achieve this, all of the Ninth Edition’s innovationsâ€"new authorship, new and reororganized chapters, new experimental content, enhanced features, reinvisioned art, and new media toolsâ€"are focused on giving students and instructors the best tools for bringing the best of biological research and applications into the introductory majors biology course.

Hungary and the Fall of Eastern Europe 1000-1568 (Men-at-Arms)





Although not widely studied in the West, the medieval history of south-eastern Europe is both fascinating and complex. The Kingdom of Hungary was a vast realm, at least the size of France, that endured throughout the Middle Ages whilst the Byzantine Empire was even more extensive and enduring. The Serbians won themselves a brief but extensive local empire in the 14th century; while the Bulgarians established an effective and cultured state. Other players in the confusing Balkan scene included the Albanians; Wallachians; Moldavians; Transylvanians; Croatians and many others. How did they organise their armies and fight their wars; and why did they ultimately fail? This title answers these questions ably supported by numerous illustrations and eight colour plates.

To millions, he was the rebellious Man in Black, the unabashed patriot, the redeemed Christian--the king of country music. But Johnny Cash (1932-2003) was also an uncertain country boy whose dreams were born in the cotton fields of Arkansas and who struggled his entire life with a guilt-ridden childhood, addictions, and self-doubt.

Johnny Cash: The Biography

explores many often overlooked aspects of the legend's life and career, uncovering the origins of his songwriting and trademark boom-chicka-boom rhythm and delving into the details of his personal life, including his drug dependency, which dogged him long after many thought he'd beaten it.

The Kalevala: An Epic Poem after Oral Tradition by Elias Lönnrot (Oxford World's Classics)





The Kalevala is the great Finnish epic, which like the Iliad and the Odyssey, grew out of a rich oral tradition with prehistoric roots. During the first millennium of our era, speakers of Uralic languages (those outside the Indo-European group) who had settled in the Baltic region of Karelia, that straddles the border of eastern Finland and north-west Russia, developed an oral poetry that was to last into the nineteenth century. This poetry provided the basis of the Kalevala. It was assembled in the 1840s by the Finnish scholar Elias Lönnrot, who took `dictation' from the performance of a folk singer, in much the same way as our great collections from the past, from Homeric poems to medieval songs and epics, have probably been set down. Published in 1849, it played a central role in the march towards Finnish independence and inspired some of Sibelius's greatest works. This new and exciting translation by poet Keith Bosley, prize-winning translator of the anthology Finnish Folk Poetry: Epic, is the first truly to combine liveliness with accuracy in a way which reflects the richness of the original.

East Sooke Regional park, Alldridge Point Petroglyphs 12:54pm




Image by ocean.flynn

From Creyke Point (48°19'31.29"N, 123°37'49.56"W), East Sooke Regional park we could see Wolfe Island (48°19'27.79"N, 123°38'5.69"W) in Campbell Bay. Beyond the Juan de Fuca Strait the Olympic Mountain Range was barely visible through the clouds. It took about an hour to reach the Alldridge petroglyphs (48°19'4.01"N, 23°38'20.02"W) because we stopped to take photos and videos of a large arbutus, a life-rich tidal pool (where Dave, Jim and Diego found sea anemones and sea stars): wildflowers like Blue-eyed Grass, Castilleja coccinea, Fool's Onion and stone crop, pine trees clinging to the rocks dwarfed by the strong ocean winds, waves crashing along the coastal trail. We watched two sea lions emerge near us just off shore when we stopped for lunch on a rocky outcrop. We didn't go the extra ten kilometers to see the Beechey Head landmark (48°18'52.34"N, 123°39'15.67"W) as we had a few months ago. The Alldridge petroglyphs (48°19'4.01"N, 123°38'20.02"W) had been defaced with graffiti since our last visit. At Alldridge Point we chose to return along the coastal trail rather than take the wooded trail back to Aylard Farm. On the way back we saw a sea otter enjoying the fish he had just caught. An eagle landed and surveyed the surroundings as we sipped coffee and tea on the patio of the Smoking Tuna. Young Diego explored the docks, launched his toy sailboat and admired the harbour seals.

With increasing pressure on museums to be more commercial and more professional, those working in museums find that they need to know about marketing. In response to this need, Marketing the Museum is the first book to apply the concepts and principles of marketing to the museum world.
