ISBN：9780367612238 

价格：978.03 

内容简介：Plant Ecology & ; Conservation is an introduction to the world of plant ecology. It includes the main areas of current research including ideas about plant populations, nutrition and plant community ecology and has a particular emphasis on the interactions of plants with animals, fungi and microorganisms whose important is being increasingly demonstrated. With the world’s environmental problems having such a high profile, the book focusses on the human impact on the world’s plant species. Conservation of the terrestrial world starts with plants as they form the basis of all ecosystems on land. We can only understand how best to conserve the world’s biodiversity with an understanding of the central role of plant ecology. This theme runs throughout with numerous examples of the disruption of ecosystems by human activity emphasising the connection between plant ecology and conservation. Key Features: 

　　   Boxes present case studies, important statistics and interesting asides 

　　   Full-colour photos depict key species and habitats and superb line drawings illustrate many concepts 

　　   Important data are presented in Tables and Figures throughout 

　　   Each chapter has Key Concepts and review questions to test a reader’s grasp of the content 

　　   Key References and Further Reading are given for each chapter to point the reader towards the most important and influential literature 

　　   Jargon is kept to a minimum and a full Glossary of all technical terms is presented The book is aimed primarily at undergraduate and graduate students in any aspect of ecology or plant science. It should also appeal to anyone interested in how plants function and are concerned about what is needed for the conservation of the world’s ecosystems.

书名：RNA, the epicenter of genetic information : a new understanding of molecular biology.   

出版社： CRC Press  

作者：John Mattick and Paulo Amaral 

ISBN：9780367623920 

价格：356.43 

内容简介：The origin story and emergence of molecular biology is muddled The early triumphs in bacterial genetics and the complexity of animal and plant genomes complicate an intricate history This book documents the many advances as well as the prejudices and founder fallacies It highlights the premature relegation of RNA to simply an intermediate between gene and protein the underestimation of the amount of information required to program the development of multicellular organisms and the dawning realization that RNA is the cornerstone of cell biology development brain function and probably evolution itself Key personalities their hubris as well as prescient predictions are richly illustrated with quotes archival material photographs diagrams and references to bring the people ideas and discoveries to life from the conceptual cradles of molecular biology to the current revolution in the understanding of genetic information Key Features Documents the confused early history of DNA RNA and proteins a transformative history of molecular biology like no other Integrates the influences of biochemistry and genetics on the landscape of molecular biology Chronicles the important discoveries preconceptions and misconceptions that retarded or misdirected progress Highlights major pioneers and contributors to molecular biology with a focus on RNA and noncoding DNA Summarizes the mounting evidence for the central roles of non protein coding RNA in cell and developmental biology Provides a thought provoking retrospective and forward looking perspective for advanced students and professional researchers 

书名：Nonlinear mechanics for composite heterogeneous structures   

出版社： CRC Press  

作者：Drosopoulos Georgios A 

ISBN：9780367861551 

价格：1405.88 

内容简介：Nonlinear Mechanics for Composite Heterogeneous Structures applies both classical and multi-scale finite element analysis to the non-linear, failure response of composite structures. These traditional and modern computational approaches are holistically presented, providing insight into a range of non-linear structural analysis problems. The classical methods include geometric and material non-linearity, plasticity, damage and contact mechanics. The cutting-edge formulations include cohesive zone models, the Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM), multi-scale computational homogenization, localization of damage, neural networks and data-driven techniques. This presentation is simple but efficient, enabling the reader to understand, select and apply appropriate methods through programming code or commercial finite element software. 

　　The book is suitable for undergraduate studies as a final year textbook and for MSc and PhD studies in structural, mechanical, aerospace engineering and material science, among others. Professionals in these fields will also be strongly benefited. 

　　An accompanying website provides MATLAB codes for two-dimensional finite element problems with contact, multi-scale (FE2) and non-linear XFEM analysis, data-driven and machine learning simulations.
