Download or read book The Manchester Museum written by Manchester Museum (University of Manchester) and published by Third Millennium Information. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Manchester Museum is the first accessible guide to the collections and activities of the UK's largest university museum and one of the most significant museums in the country. There are approximately 4.5 million objects in the Museum and most are kept in storage, inaccessible to the public. The illustrated guide highlights the growth of each collection area and focuses on the detail of featured items. Initially consisting of the donations of the large collections of Victorian and Edwardian amateurs, they subsequently developed through a combination of continued donations and fieldwork research around the world by academics and curators.This publication traces the history of the Museum, from its beginnings as the collection of the Manchester Society for the Promotion of Natural History, through its transfer to John Owens College, to its current position as a major asset of the University of Manchester. The Manchester Museum frames the discussion of the collections with the Museum's award-winning work with schools and colleges, its wider work to engage its many communities and its use of digital communication to enhance the visitor's interaction with the collections.

Book Synopsis Women Who Did by : Angelique Richardson
Download or read book Women Who Did written by Angelique Richardson and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2005-07-07 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A lady? decidedly. Fast? perhaps. Original? undoubtedly. Worth knowing? rather." Daring and dynamic, the 'new woman' came to represent the very spirit of the age. The stories in this anthology take up this phenomenon and examine society throughthe eyes of the new woman, as she encountered new choices in marriage, motherhood, work and love. Women Who Did charts a rebellion that was social, sexual and literary. It tells the stories of competing voices - of the men and women who entered into the fray of the fin de siècle, and were not afraid to confront, challenge or delight in the irrepressible New, in an irrepressibly new form, the short story.
Book Synopsis The Nature of Diamonds by : George E. Harlow
Download or read book The Nature of Diamonds written by George E. Harlow and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paragon of physical perfection and a sparkling example of Earth's forces at work, the diamond has fascinated all realms of society, from Russian tsars and Hollywood stars to scientists and brides-to-be. The Nature of Diamonds is an authoritative and richly illustrated look at nature's most coveted gem. Leading geologists, gemologists, physicists, and cultural observers cover every facet of the stone, from its formation in the depths of the Earth and its explosive ascent to the surface, to its economic, regal, social, and technological roles. The book takes the reader to cutting-edge research on the frontiers of diamond exploration and exploitation, from Arctic wastes to laboratories that create industrial diamonds for cutting tools that slice through rock. Charting the history of mining from its origins in India and Brazil, the book follows the diamond rush in South Africa to today's high-tech enterprises. It provides a glimpse into the economics of the diamond trade, and an overview of diamond cutting, from the rough uncut stones in early Indian and Roman jewelry to the multifaceted stones we see today. The cultural history of the diamond as both a revered and a social symbol is explored, from its early history as the exclusive property of royalty to today's brilliant-laden jewelry as an emblem of wealth and status. The engaging text is complemented by more than 200 lavish illustrations which span fine art, earth science, and cultural studies and capture the brilliance and beauty of this extraordinary gem.

The first part of this book deals with important applications of evolutionary and systematic analysis at different taxonomic levels. The second part discusses DNA multiple sequence alignment, species designations using molecular data, evo-devo and other topics that are problematic or controversial. In the last part, novel topics in molecular evolution and systematics, like genomics, comparative methods in molecular evolution and the use of large data bases are described. The final chapter deals with problems in bacterial evolution, considering the increasing access to large numbers of complete genome sequences.

Book Synopsis Assumptions Inhibiting Progress in Comparative Biology by : Brian I. Crother
Download or read book Assumptions Inhibiting Progress in Comparative Biology written by Brian I. Crother and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-11-18 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a thought-provoking assessment of assumptions inhibiting progress in comparative biology. The volume is inspired by a list generated years earlier by Donn Rosen, one of the most influential, innovative and productive comparative biologists of the latter 20th century. His list has assumed almost legendary status among comparative evolutionary biologists. Surprisingly many of the obstructing assumptions implicated by Rosen remain relevant today. Any comparative biologist hoping to avoid such assumptions in their own research will benefit from this introspective volume.

Book Synopsis Conservation Genetics in the Age of Genomics by : George Amato
Download or read book Conservation Genetics in the Age of Genomics written by George Amato and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2009-08-07 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genome sequencing enables scientists to study genes over time and to test the genetic variability of any form of life, from bacteria to mammals. Thanks to advances in molecular genetics, scientists can now determine an animal's degree of inbreeding or compare genetic variation of a captive species to wild or natural populations. Mapping an organism's genetic makeup recasts such terms as biodiversity and species and enables the conservation of rare or threatened species, populations, and genes. By introducing a new paradigm for studying and preserving life at a variety of levels, genomics offers solutions to previously intractable problems in understanding the biology of complex organisms and creates new tools for preserving the patterns and processes of life on this planet. Featuring a number of high-profile researchers, this volume introduces the use of molecular genetics in conservation biology and provides a historical perspective on the opportunities and challenges presented by new technologies. It discusses zoo-, museum-, and herbarium-based biological collections, which have expanded over the past decade, and covers the promises and problems of genomic and reproductive technology. The collection concludes with the philosophical and legal issues of conservation genetics and their potential effects on public policy.

Book Synopsis The Future of Phylogenetic Systematics by : David Williams
Download or read book The Future of Phylogenetic Systematics written by David Williams and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-21 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Willi Hennig (1913–76), founder of phylogenetic systematics, revolutionised our understanding of the relationships among species and their natural classification. An expert on Diptera and fossil insects, Hennig's ideas were applicable to all organisms. He wrote about the science of taxonomy or systematics, refining and promoting discussion of the precise meaning of the term 'relationship', the nature of systematic evidence, and how those matters impinge on a precise understanding of monophyly, paraphyly, and polyphyly. Hennig's contributions are relevant today and are a platform for the future. This book focuses on the intellectual aspects of Hennig's work and gives dimension to the future of the subject in relation to Hennig's foundational contributions to the field of phylogenetic systematics. Suitable for graduate students and academic researchers, this book will also appeal to philosophers and historians interested in the legacy of Willi Hennig.
