  • Introductory Statistics

    • 5th Edition
    • Sheldon M. Ross
    • English
    Introductory Statistics, Fifth Edition, reviews statistical concepts and techniques in a manner that will teach students not only how and when to utilize the statistical procedures developed, but also how to understand why these procedures should be used. The text's main merits are the clarity of presentation, contemporary examples and applications from diverse areas, an explanation of intuition, and the ideas behind the statistical methods.Concepts are motivated, illustrated, and explained in a way that attempts to increase one's intuition. To quote from the preface, it is only when a student develops a feel or intuition for statistics that they are really on the path toward making sense of data. Ross achieves this goal through a coherent mix of mathematical analysis, intuitive discussions, and examples.Application... and examples refer to real-world issues, such as gun control, stock price models, vaccines and other health issues, driving age limits, school admission ages, use of helmets, sports, scientific fraud, and many others.

    The Encyclopedia of Psychotherapy, Second Edition, Three Volume Set covers the major psychotherapies currently in practice as well as the classical approaches that laid the foundation for the various contemporary treatment approaches. In addition, the encyclopaedia identifies the scientific studies conducted on the efficacy of the therapies and review the theoretical basis of each therapy.The new edition has been thoroughly updated from the first edition, focusing on major modes of psychotherapy practice and core psychotherapy processes. Outdated entries have been culled or combined with other entries in a manner that better communicates the content to present-day readers (e.g., “water-misting therapy” can be addressed in a more cohesive entry covering the use of punishment techniques more generally).

  • Methods in Systems Bioinorganic Chemistry

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 741
    • English
    Over the past half-century, the field of Bioinorganic chemistry, like so many branches of science, has been dominated by a reductionist approach to studying metal ions in biology. This incredibly successful strategy typically involved, and involves, isolating and characterizing individual metalloproteins. Although early researchers could imagine the complexity of the processes that involved these proteins, operating within cells, comprehending such processes on the systems level was simply out of reach. However, with the technical advances that have emerged over the past decade or so, considering such complex cellular-level interrelationships is becoming increasingly possible. This volume, entitled “Methods in Systems Bioinorganic Chemistry” is perhaps the first compilation of methods aimed at understanding high-level properties involving metals in biology founded on molecular or mechanistic level interactions. The importance of this cannot be overstated; establishing the roles of metal ions in human health and disease will undoubtedly require systems-level understandings. That being said, there is currently no established “tool kit” for studying bioinorganic systems, and so the methods included here span a diverse range of topics and approaches, from imaging to proteomics, from metals-in-mice to mathematical modeling. How these methods will eventually be integrated to advance systems-level insights is unfolding here and now. Enjoy!

    Advancing Sustainable Agriculture Through Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi provides a comprehensive view of AMF-focused approaches that support biodiversity, ecosystem services, and soil health. The book addresses the topic from the basis of symbiosis to the latest research and future directions of AMF use in agriculture. It provides a thorough overview of the role that AM fungi play in promoting agricultural sustainability and synthesizes current knowledge on the biology, ecology, and applications of AM fungi in sustainable agriculture, highlighting best practices for promoting AM fungi in agricultural ecosystems, such as crop selection, soil management, and fertilizer use. In addition, the book identifies research gaps and priorities for the advancement of the understanding of AM fungi in sustainable agriculture. Among the major issues confronting agriculture are soil erosion, water shortages, climate change, and dwindling biodiversity. In response to these issues, the need for sustainable farming methods that support ecosystem services, biodiversity, and soil health is rising. As the soil microbiome is largely composed of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, which are essential for preserving soil health and encouraging plant development, this book is a welcomed resource.

  • Basic Principles of Drug Discovery and Development

    • 3rd Edition
    • Benjamin E. Blass
    • English
    **Selected for 2026 Doody's Core Titles in Pharmacy**Basic Principles of Drug Discovery and Development, Third Edition presents a unique overview of the drug discovery and development program not available elsewhere. Each chapter provides sufficient technical details on the topics covered so that non-experts will have the tools and information necessary to interact and exchange information with colleagues across the entire spectrum of the drug discovery and development process. The drug discovery and development process involves individuals and teams with a wide array of expertise ranging from basic sciences (medicinal chemistry, biology) to applied science (pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, clinical sciences) to business driven fields (regulatory affairs, intellectual property experts, marketing specialists).The success or failure of a program focused on bringing a new medication to market often depends on clear communication between individuals and teams with vastly different expertise. As a result, it is critical that experts in one aspect of drug discovery and development (e.g., medicinal chemists) have a working understanding of the wide range of disciplines that take part in the overall process.
