From Shel Silverstein, the New York Times bestselling author of Where the Sidewalk Ends and The Giving Tree, comes a riotous rhyming photograph publication a couple of boy and his giraffe!

Featuring rhythmic verse and iconic illustrations, A Giraffe and a Half will go away each reader, old and young, giggling till the very finish. loved for over fifty years, this vintage captures Silverstein’s signature humor and style.

If you had a giraffe and he stretched one other part, you'll have a giraffe and a half. yet what occurs if you happen to glue a rose to the end of his nostril? Or if you happen to used a chair to sweep his hair? sign up for this giraffe on a rollicking and ridiculous trip that would allure readers from commencing to finish.

Electroporation gene treatment, or gene electrotransfer, has advanced tremendously over the past few many years as a result of awesome development in genetic sequencing, gene array research, gene cloning, gene expression detection, DNA manufacture and discovery and synthesis of siRNA. Electroporation Protocols: Preclinical and medical Gene medication, moment Edition presents in-depth wisdom at the supply of bare DNA and small-interfering RNA (siRNA) to the detailed cells, tissues, and animals for prevention and remedy of affliction. It builds at the luck of the 1st version and at the development made in siRNA supply and DNA vaccines for big animals in addition to discovery of electroporation functions for the delicate tissues and for inner organs. Written within the winning Methods in Molecular Biology sequence structure, chapters contain introductions to their respective issues, lists of the required fabrics and reagents, step by step, without difficulty reproducible protocols and notes on troubleshooting and warding off identified pitfalls.

Authoritative and simply accessible,Electroporation Protocols: Preclinical and medical Gene medication, moment Edition goals to supply not just entire insurance of the elemental conception and functional software of electroporation siRNA treatment, gene treatment, and vaccine, but in addition elaborates at the most modern perspectives from the specialists during this box, serving as a useful source for investigators either in and outdoors of this field.

Analysing the physiological diversifications of marine mammals and seabirds, this ebook offers a finished evaluation of what permits those species to beat the demanding situations of diving to intensity on a unmarried breath of air. via comparative studies of texts on diving body structure and behavior from the final seventy-five years, Ponganis combines this study into one succinct quantity. Investigating the diving functionality of marine mammals and seabirds, this ebook illustrates how physiological tactics to severe hypoxia and strain are correct to the development of our realizing of easy mobile approaches and human pathologies. This booklet underscores the biomedical and ecological relevance of the anatomical, physiological and molecular/biophysical diversifications of those animals to permit additional examine during this zone. a massive source for college kids and researchers, this article not just offers a vital evaluate of modern examine within the box, yet will stimulate additional study into the behaviour and body structure of diving.

Mammalian cranium constitution is significantly various; despite the fact that at a simple point the jaw mechanism is remarkably related, if no longer basically a similar, within the majority of mammals. utilizing uncomplicated versions which are in comparison with genuine animals at each step, this e-book examines the fundamental structural good points of the mammalian jaw mechanism from a mechanical viewpoint. It explores how the mechanical constraints put on the jaw have contributed to the evolution of a good simple constitution, utilized by many mammals, which precludes mechanical problems and makes use of a minimal volume of bone tissue. during the publication the emphasis is on conceptual figuring out, with motives associated jointly to shape a whole tale that may be utilized to either fossil and extant mammals. Summarising over 40 years of analysis from one of many prime pioneers in 3D jaw mechanics, this can be a must-have for a person drawn to mammalian jaw morphology.

In response to 3 years of research within the Serengeti nationwide Park, George B. Schaller’s The Serengeti Lion describes the massive effect of the lion and different predators at the giant herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle for which the realm is known. the main accomplished publication on hand at the lion, this vintage paintings comprises the author’s findings on all elements of lion habit, together with its social process, inhabitants dynamics, looking habit, and predation styles. “If you will have just enough time to learn one ebook approximately box biology, this is often the single I recommend.”—Edward O. Wilson, Science“This publication conveys not just the fascination of its specific research of lion habit however the drama and beauty and sweetness of the intimate interdependence of all residing things.”—Saturday Review“This is a crucial ebook, not only for its beneficial details on lions, yet for its large, open, and clever method of difficulties that lower around the fields of habit, populations, ecology, flora and fauna administration, evolution, anthropology, and comparative biology.”—Richard G.

Within the overdue eighteenth century, the British took larger curiosity than ever ahead of in gazing and recording all features of the wildlife. tourists and colonists getting back from far-flung lands supplied remarkable debts of such unique creatures as elephants, baboons, and kangaroos. The engraver Thomas Bewick (1753–1828) harnessed this newfound curiosity through assembling the main complete illustrated consultant to nature of his day.A basic background of Quadrupeds, first released in 1790, showcases Bewick’s groundbreaking engraving options that allowed textual content and photographs to be released at the comparable web page. From anteaters to zebras, armadillos to wolverines, this pleasant quantity positive factors engravings of over 400 animals along descriptions in their features as scientifically understood on the time. Quadrupeds reaffirms Bewick’s position in heritage as an incomparable illustrator, one whose impression on average heritage and publication printing nonetheless endures this day.
