The aim of Mathematics for Biologists is to provide a comprehensive introductory course for biologists who have limited formal training in mathematics. The book carefully develops essential mathematical concepts—such as logarithms, calculus, differential equations, and statistics—and consistently relates them to biological problems. Each topic is supported by worked examples and exercises d…
This work focuses on the laboratory cultivation (in vitro) of protozoan parasites, detailing methods and techniques used to grow and maintain these organisms outside their host organisms. It discusses culture media composition, environmental conditions, and challenges in sustaining parasite viability. The text is particularly valuable for research in parasitology, drug testing, and understandin…
This work presents a comprehensive overview of the biochemical processes and physiological characteristics of Tetrahymena, a genus of free-living ciliated protozoa widely used as a model organism in cell and molecular biology. The book explores cellular metabolism, including carbohydrate, lipid, and protein pathways, and highlights the organism’s unique enzymatic systems and regulatory mechan…
Elements of Cytology is a comprehensive academic textbook that introduces the structural and functional organization of cells. The book covers cellular components such as the nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membranes, and organelles, along with discussions on cell division, differentiation, and basic cellular physiology. Written for university-level students in biology and medical sciences, the text e…
A Biologist's Mathematics introduces mathematical concepts specifically tailored for biologists, emphasizing clarity, precision, and practical application rather than abstract mathematical theory. The book explains why mathematics is an essential language for biology, particularly for describing data quantitatively, formulating models, and testing biological hypotheses. Causton begins with fou…
A Series of Student Texts in Contemporary Biology is an academic textbook series designed primarily for undergraduate students in the biological sciences. Edited by E. J. W. Barrington and Arthur J. Willis, the series presents authoritative introductions to major sub‑disciplines of modern biology as they were understood in the late 20th century. Individual volumes address topics such as anima…
Cell Biology: A Series of Monographs is a scholarly book series consisting of in-depth research volumes, each devoted to a specific topic within cell biology. The series emphasizes molecular, structural, physiological, and genetic aspects of cells in both plant and animal systems. Individual volumes are typically edited collections authored by leading researchers in the field and are intended f…
This book is a classic anthology of landmark biological experiments, presenting original scientific papers or excerpts that shaped modern biology. Each section is organized chronologically and includes contextual introductions explaining the historical significance of the experiments. Topics span: Cell theory Enzymes and metabolism Hormones and endocrinology Microbiology and infectious dise…
This book provides an introductory, laboratory‑oriented overview of molecular biological techniques as they were established in the mid‑20th century. It emphasizes the physical and chemical principles underlying experimental work in molecular biology and is intended for students beginning practical laboratory studies. Topics covered include: Experimental calculations Microscopy Spectros…
