    • English
    The Physics of Cosmology presents modern advances in the field, especially in the face of much higher precision measurements at all redshifts, such as in the early Universe, where the James Webb Space Telescope has been revolutionizing our view of cosmic evolution. These discoveries reveal significant defects in theoretically unmotivated assumptions characterizing the spacetime metric used to interpret the data. This book methodically and self-consistently analyzes to arrive at a more complete and accurate standard model of the Universe. From chapters on the Early Universe to the Semi-Classical Universe, this is a valuable new resource that showcases the principal players and contributions in this field. Characterized by clarity of material and coverage of current topics, students and researchers working in general relativity and astrophysics will find it a useful introduction to the most up-to-date research in cosmology. Given how much the field has evolved over the last decade, and how rapidly it continues to change, the book's material is original and timely to aid in students’ comprehension and instructors’ lessons.

  • The Future of Human Evolution

    • 1st Edition
    • Rene J. Herrera + 1 more
    • English
    The Future of Human Evolution provides a discussion of how cultural, biological and microevolutionary (drift, selection, and mutation) pressures might affect our future as a species. The book is split into twelve chapters, beginning with evolutionary forecasting, and gene and culture coevolution. It then discusses life expectancy and population growth, followed by chapters on mutation rates, climate change and diet. This book also explores artificial selection and ‘designer babies’, trans-humanism and artificial intelligence (machine-human symbiosis), inequality and the colonization of space. The Future of Human Evolution serves as a valuable resource for both researchers and students studying human evolution and human population genetics, as well as non-academics with an interest in human evolution.

  • Plant Receptors in Cellular Signaling

    Key Regulators of Development and Stress Adaptation
    • 1st Edition
    • Aryadeep Roychoudhury
    • English
    Plant Receptors in Cellular Signaling provides a comprehensive account of how plants perceive and respond to internal and external cues through receptor-mediated pathways. The volume integrates structural, functional, and mechanistic perspectives to examine the diverse spectrum of plant receptors—including phytohormone receptors, growth regulator receptors, receptor-like kinases, and multiprotein complexes—that orchestrate growth, development, and survival under changing conditions.The book explains receptor functions in auxin, gibberellin, cytokinin, abscisic acid, ethylene, jasmonate, salicylic acid, brassinosteroid, strigolactone, and karrikin signaling, while also addressing membranebound and cytoplasmic kinases, glutamate-like receptors, and other critical signaling components. By linking structural biology with functional outcomes, it shows how protein conformation and ligand recognition determine specificity and regulatory control.Emphasizing the interplay and crosstalk among receptor-mediated pathways, the text demonstrates how plants translate complex signals into precise cellular responses that regulate gene expression, coordinate development, and enable adaptation to biotic and abiotic stresses.Rich in mechanistic detail and conceptual breadth, Plant Receptors in Cellular Signaling is an essential reference for researchers and academics in plant biology, molecular signaling, stress physiology, and related fields seeking to understand how plants transform signals into adaptive strategies.
