This book was released on 1993 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kenneth F. Schaffner compares the practice of biological and medical research and shows how traditional topics in philosophy of science—such as the nature of theories and of explanation—can illuminate the life sciences. While Schaffner pays some attention to the conceptual questions of evolutionary biology, his chief focus is on the examples that immunology, human genetics, neuroscience, and internal medicine provide for examinations of the way scientists develop, examine, test, and apply theories. Although traditional philosophy of science has regarded scientific discovery—the questions of creativity in science—as a subject for psychological rather than philosophical study, Schaffner argues that recent work in cognitive science and artificial intelligence enables researchers to rationally analyze the nature of discovery. As a philosopher of science who holds an M.D., he has examined biomedical work from the inside and uses detailed examples from the entire range of the life sciences to support the semantic approach to scientific theories, addressing whether there are "laws" in the life sciences as there are in the physical sciences. Schaffner's novel use of philosophical tools to deal with scientific research in all of its complexity provides a distinctive angle on basic questions of scientific evaluation and explanation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Who knew that small, plant-eating mammals called pikas helped scientists find new ways to survive extreme weather events, or that algae could be used as airplane fuel? Your students will learn about amazing scientific advancements like these when you use the lessons in Discovery Engineering in Biology: Case Studies for Grades 6-12. The book is a lively way to blend history, real-world perspectives, 21st-century skills, and engineering into your biology or STEM curriculum. Like Discovery Engineering in Physical Science (see p. XX), this book features case studies about observations and accidental discoveries that led to the invention of new products and problem-solving applications. The 20 lessons are both flexible and easy to use. After reading a historical account of an actual innovation, students explore related activities that connect to such topics as molecules and organisms, ecosystems, heredity, and biological evolution. Then they're prompted to think creatively about science from serendipity. They conduct research, analyze data, and use the engineering design process to develop products or applications of their own. Students are sure to be intrigued by investigations with titles such as "Vindicating Venom: Using Biological Mechanisms to Treat Diseases and Disorders" and "Revealing Repeats: The Accidental Discovery of DNA Fingerprinting." Discovery Engineering in Biology is an engaging way to help students discover that when accidents happen, the outcome can be an incredible innovation"--

Book excerpt: Explore the remarkable discoveries in the rapidly expanding field of plasmid biology Plasmids are integral to biological research as models for innumerable mechanisms of living cells, as tools for creating the most diverse therapies, and as crucial helpers for understanding the dissemination of microbial populations. Their role in virulence and antibiotic resistance, together with the generalization of "omics" disciplines, has recently ignited a new wave of interest in plasmids. This comprehensive book contains a series of expertly written chapters focused on plasmid biology, mechanistic details of plasmid function, and the increased utilization of plasmids in biotechnology and pharmacology that has occurred in the past decade. Plasmids: Biology and Impact in Biotechnology and Discovery serves as an invaluable reference for researchers in the wide range of fields and disciplines that utilize plasmids and can also be used as a textbook for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in biotechnology and molecular biology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book illustrates the successful partnership of chemistry and biology to advance successful biotherapeutic modalities. Molecular design to create function is common to both chemical and molecular biology, and this text highlights recent developments from these disciplines that have delivered drugs, clinical candidates or significantly advanced biotherapeutic approaches. Biotherapeutics are often considered to be beyond the reach of the medicinal chemist, but this book demonstrates that chemistry has an essential role in the future success of this area, by explaining and describing the chemical biology technologies that underpin specific therapeutic advances and demonstrating the unique value of molecular design and understanding. Covering topics such as selective protein modification, immunopharmacotherapy, chemically programmed vaccinations, nanobodies and antibodies, this book provides essential reading for medicinal and pharmaceutical chemists working in both industry and academia.
