Neither Gods Nor Beasts
How Science Is Changing Who We Think We Are

By Elof A. Carlson, Emeritus, State University of New York at Stony Brook

© 2008 • 180 pp., index
Hardcover • $29 $14.50 • ISBN 978-087969786-0

Traditional views of human nature focus on the supernatural, defining us as creatures with souls, minds, and spirits that transcend our physical attributes. In this provocative book, distinguished scientist and historian Elof Axel Carlson argues for a different understanding of ourselves based on our biology—cellular organization, genetics, life cycle, evolution, and our origins as a species. This interpretation does not negate our capacity for imagination, spiritual and emotional yearnings, or aesthetic appreciation for art, music, and literature. Carlson challenges educators, the media, and public policy makers to integrate the evidence from science more fully into our understanding of ourselves.

Neurobiology of the Leech

Edited By Kenneth J. Muller, Carnegie Institution of Washington; John G. Nicholls, Stanford University School of Medicine; Gunther S. Stent, University of California, Berkeley

© 1981 • 320 pp., illus., bibliography, indexes
Paperback • $123.00 • ISBN 978-193611309-5

In the 19th century, the medicinal applications of leeches prompted basic research into their neurobiology, reproduction, development, and anatomy; subsequently, leeches became an important model for understanding the nervous system. In this monograph, each chapter provides a narrative account of experimental work on a particular area of leech neurobiology, and explains its significance for the broader field of neuroscience. The appendices describe methods for maintaining and manipulating leeches in the laboratory and include an atlas of neurons in the leech Hirudo medicinalis. Extensively illustrated, this book is a classic in the field and is considered a “must read” for neuroscientists and those interested in leech biology. It has been out of print for many years; however, some recent inquiries have prompted us to reprint it and make it available at an affordable price.

Next-Generation DNA Sequencing Informatics

Edited By Stuart M. Brown, New York University School of Medicine

© 2013 • 241 pp., illus. (48 4C & 15 B&W), index
Hardcover • $59 • ISBN 978-1-936113-87-3

Next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS) technology has revolutionized biomedical research, making complete genome sequencing an affordable and frequently used tool for a wide variety of research applications. Bioinformatics methods to support DNA sequencing have become a critical bottleneck for many researchers and organizations wishing to make use of NGS technology. This book provides a thorough introduction to the necessary informatics methods and tools for operating NGS instruments and analyzing NGS data. The book also provides extensive reference to best-practice bioinformatic methods for the most commonly used NGS technologies and applications. The book also includes reference to, and guidance on, the setup and use of essential software for NGS data analysis. This is the first book of its kind to address the informatics needs of scientists who wish to take advantage of the explosion of research opportunities offered by new DNA sequencing technologies.

Nuclear Organization and Function
(Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology LXXV)

Edited By Terri Grodzicker, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory; David Spector, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory; David Stewart, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory; Bruce Stillman, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory

© 2010 • 630 pp., illus. (202 color, 74 b&w), indexes
(Hardcover edition includes online access; call for information and registration)
Hardcover • $318.00 • ISBN 978-1-936113-07-1

This volume is based on presentations by the world-renowned investigators who gathered at the 75th annual Cold Spring Harbor Symposium on Quantitative Biology to discuss the organization and function of the cell nucleus. It reviews the latest advances in research into nuclear structure, the organization of the genome within the nucleus, and spatiotemporal coordination of nuclear processes. The topics examined include nuclear domains, chromatin organization, transcription and RNA processing, DNA replication, nuclear reprogramming, and epigenetics. Cancer, premature aging syndromes, and other diseases that may be associated with altered nuclear organization are also covered.
