A New York Times bestselling writer explores what our unique sonic signature reveals about our species, our culture, and each one of us. Finally, a vital topic that has never had its own book gets its due. There's no shortage of books about public speaking or language or song. But until now, there has been no book about the miracle that underlies them all-the human voice itself. And there are few writers who could take on this surprisingly vast topic with more artistry and expertise than John C...
Evoked Potentials
The past decade has seen great progress in the measurement of evoked potentials in man; a steady increase in our understanding of their charac- teristics, their origins and their usefulness; and a growing application in the field of clinical diagnosis. The topic is a truly multidisciplinary one. Important research contributions have been made by workers of many different backgrounds and clinical applications span the specialities. This book represents a revised and updated version of the work or...
This text brings togther 28 papers presented at the 1998 EOS/SPIE Symposium on Biomedical Optics. They cover theory and models of photon migration, oximetry, and general topics, including tissue optical properties and contrast agents.

Life Cycles - the Life of a Chicken (Raintree perspectives)
by Clare Hibbert
"Life Cycles" books follow the life of an animal or plant as it changes. In some cycles there is a dramatic change, such as that from caterpillar to butterfly. In others the changes is gradual but no less fascinating, as when the book covers such familiar animals as dogs and cats.
Vertebrate Phototransduction and the Visual Cycle Part A. Volume 315, Methods in Enzymology
Mathematical Physiology (Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics, 8/1)
by James Keener and James Sneyd
Divided into two volumes, the book begins with a pedagogical presentation of some of the basic theory, with chapters on biochemical reactions, diffusion, excitability, wave propagation and cellular homeostasis. The second, more extensive part discusses particular physiological systems, with chapters on calcium dynamics, bursting oscillations and secretion, cardiac cells, muscles, intercellular communication, the circulatory system, the immune system, wound healing, the respiratory system, the vi...

Cell Diagnostics: Images, Biophysical and Biochemical Processes in Allelopathy
Anatomy & Physiology, Books a la Carte Edition
by Elaine Nicpon Marieb and Katja Hoehn
Cytochrome c fulfills a central role in biological electron transport. This book draws together information from diverse disciplines in order to provide a common base for further research. The comprehensive treatment of this subject does not neglect to show the diversity of biological respirations and photosyntheses. But it also defines their unifying principles. This overview presents the evolutionary relatedness in bioenergetic systems. Such systems are discussed at the experimental level with...
The modern biosciences make many new proteins available. Nevertheless the handling of these proteins is quite difficult due to problems with their stability. This collection gives - in the form of tables - protein stability data for various temperatures and solvents. These data are most useful for the development of protein folding and the improvement of biotechnological stability for applications of proteins. The first supplement contains material covering 1997-1999. Some previous data have als...
