Transworld Publishers Ltd Why Is the Penis Shaped Like That
Book SynopsisWhy do testicles hang the way they do? Is there an adaptive function to the female orgasm? What does it feel like to want to kill yourself? Does free will' really exist? And why is the penis shaped like that anyway?Research psychologist and award-winning columnist Jesse Bering takes readers on a bold and captivating journey through some of the most taboo issues related to evolution and human behaviour. Exploring the history of cannibalism, the neurology of people who are sexually attracted to animals, the evolution of human body fluids, the science of homosexuality and serious questions about life and death, Bering boldly goes where no science writer has gone before.With his characteristic irreverence and trademark cheekiness, Bering leaves no topic unturned or curiosity unexamined, and he does it all with an audaciously original voice. Whether you're interested in the psychological history behind the many facets of sexual desire or the evolutionary patterns that havTrade ReviewHis writing is witty, crammed with pop-culture references, and he employs examples and analogies that make his arguments seem like common sense rather than the hard-earned scientific insights they really are. * New Scientist *Uses science to unsettle our most embedded assumptions. It is deeply thought-provoking. * Sunday Times *This is the kind of fact that brightens any dinner party, and Bering delivers it with exuberance. His style is heavy on rhetorical flourishes, facetious asides and cheap puns, but it is always worth the ride. * Telegraph *Jesse Bering is the Hunter Thompson of science writing, and he is a delight to read - funny, smart, and madly provocative -- Professor Paul Bloom, Yale UniversityIf David Sedaris were an experimental psychologist, he'd be writing essays very much like these. Bering's unique blend of scientific knowledge, sense of humor, intellectual courage, and pure literary skill is immediately recognizable; no one writes quite the way Bering does. Read this book. You'll learn, laugh, and then learn some more. -- Christopher Ryan, author of Sex at Dawn

CRC Press Exploring the Evolution of our Ancestors
Book SynopsisThis is a captivating evolutionary narrative of the human body, exploring the pivotal traits that make humans unique as a species. It provides a better understanding of why we look the way we do, through an evolutionary morphological lens, by delving into the functional explanations for the unique characteristics of us and our ancestors and the evolutionary pathways that shaped them. Integrating changes in anatomy with functional shifts, but also with underlying genetic and environmental transformations that drove our evolution. The main body of the book focuses around four fundamental themes that have evolutionary sculpted us of who we are today, ever since the shared origin with the chimpanzee: diet, brain, locomotion and skin. This book not only promises to enrich our understanding of human evolution but also challenges us to reconsider what it means to be human in the light of our ancient lineage and ongoing evolutionary journey.

Springer-Verlag New York Inc. Ultrastructure of Endocrine Cells and Tissues
Book SynopsisInnovative microscopic techniques, introduced during the last two decades, have contributed much to creating a new picture of the dynamic architecture of the cell, which can now be more exactly correlated with specific biochemical and physiopathological events. These developments have led to significant advances in our understanding of the physiomorphological and pathological aspects of the secretory mechanism, as well as the pharmacologic methods used to control, experimentally, the function of exocrine and endocrine glands. The integration of new ultrastructural methods such as freeze-fracture/etching, immunocytochemistry, scanning and high-voltage electron microscopy, cytoautoradiography, etc. , has proven to be of great value when applied to the study of endocrine cells and tissues. Because information on this topic has appeared in a variety of scientific and medical journalsTrade Review`...reviewer recommends this volume as one of the most useful reference sources for those who are interested in the cellular and morphological aspects of endocrinology.'

Book SynopsisThis book was not written for contemporary scientists with a major interest in cell biology. Rather, it was prepared for the serious and inquiring student who mayor may not have had an extensive background in the sciences but who is interested in exploring or reviewing in depth the current body of knowledge about cellular structure and function. We have tried to convey a sense of the expectant excitement that characterizes the modem-day cellular biologist and we regret any scientific jargon that may have crept into the text as a result of this effort. We have selected and assimilated experiments done by numerous scien tists and have used them to explain how cells work. In doing this, we have concentrated on animal cells because we know more about them. We have come to a deeper appreciation, while preparing this book, of the limitations in understanding the inner workings of the cTable of ContentsI.

Book SynopsisThe annual meeting of the European Tissue Culture ., Society was held at the Castle of Zinkovy in Czechoslovakia from May 7-10,1969. Included as part of this meeting was a symposium on Aging in Cell and Tissue Culture. This volume contains the papers presented at that symposium. The use of cell and tissue culture techniques to study the mechanism of aging is not new. For example, it has long been known that age-associated changes which occur in plasma can inhibit cell proliferation in vitro; also that the time lapse prior to cell migration from ex planted tissue fragments increases with increasing age. These are both examples of the expression in vitro of aging in vivo. More recently, attention has been focused on the occurrence of senescence in vitro. These investi gations have included studies of alterations in non dividing cell cultures, and to a somewhat greater extent, of agTable of ContentsOpening Remarks.- Cell Strain Senescence In Vitro: Cell Culture Anomaly or an Expression of a Fundamental Inability of Normal Cells to Survive and Proliferate.- A Theoretical and Experimental Approach to the Relationship between Cell Variability and Aging In Vitro.- Changes of the Latent Period of Explanted Tissues During Ontogenesis.- Lipid Metabolism in Human Diploid Cells.- Metabolic Aspects of Aging in Diploid Human Cells.- The Decreased Growth Potential In Vitro of Human Fibroblasts of Adult Origin.- RNA and DNA Metabolism in Aging Cultured Cells.- Cell Death in Tissue Culture.- Author Index.

Springer-Verlag New York Inc. Transfer of Cell Constituents into Eukaryotic Cells
Book SynopsisThis book is a record of the proceedings of a NATO Advanced Study Institute on Transfer of Cell Constituents into Eukaryotic Cells held September 2-14, 1979, at Sintra-Estoril, Portugal. Transfer of cell constituents into living cells can be brought about by a variety of ways, namely by microinjection with micropi- pettes (small somatic cells, oocytes and plant cells), by microin- jection using fusion methods (red cell mediated microinjection, li- posome mediated transfer, transfer of membrane components, cell hy- bridization and fusion of cell fragments)and by means of uptake (DNA and chromosome gene transfer). Prompted by the development~ in this exciting and expanding field of cell biology it seemed timely to meet to review the exist- ing knowledge and to speculate on future research applications. The lectures published here reflect the diversity of research currently underway using these techniques. The final outcome of the meeting was positive as it promoted collaboration between Table of ContentsMicroinjection of Somatic Cells with Micropipettes.- 1.

By the cause the crowning baby, the sharp knife, the straying lover? What does a 7 on a pain scale of 1 to 10 really mean? Pain is complicated. But most of the time, the way we treat pain is superficial we seek out states of perfect painlessness by avoiding it at all costs, or suppressing it, usually with drugs. This has left us hurting all the more. Through in-depth interviews, investigation into the history of pain and original research, Ouch! paints a new picture of pain as a complex and multi-layered phenomenon.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers The Memory Palace of Bones: Exploring Embodiment
Book SynopsisThe Memory Palace of Bones: Exploring Embodiment Through the Skeletal System is an unprecedented exploration of the anatomy of the bones of the body, and a unique set of reflections on the role each individual bone plays in our lives, looking at both its physical and energetic contributions.Written and presented in an imaginative and highly readable style, the book describes each individual bone and, where appropriate, the surrounding joints. It combines the anatomical expertise of the authors with their appreciation for the beauty of the body, presenting a unique perspective that values extensive clinical expertise as well as imagination as a source of wisdom and depth.Seeing and discussing bones as a wisdom source is a topic that until now has never been systematically covered. The Memory Palace of Bones will be read and treasured by practitioners and students of massage therapy, bodywork, movement professionals, Zero Balancers, chiropractors, osteopaths, Rolfers, body-centered psychotherapists, students and teachers of yoga, performing artists and other health professionals as well as by laymen wanting a greater understanding of and connection to their bodies.Trade ReviewThe authors guide us on a rich and intimate journey to the heart and meaning of our bony skeleton. Somatic practitioners of all kinds can benefit from taking this journey and making it their own--so as to feel the breadth and depth of what the bones have to tell us, physiologically and psycho-emotionally. An impressive achievement. -- Kevin Frank and Caryn McHose, authors of How Life Moves, Explorations in Meaning and Body AwarenessA source of wisdom that offers readers an opportunity to manifest a personal transformation, one that can restore health and reignite one's passion for life. -- Bruce H. Lipton, PhD, author of The Biology of BeliefThe Memory Palace of Bones celebrates the musicality of cellular communication emanating from the resonant marrow of our being. Poetry and prose illuminate unexpected associations, evoking marvels of motion, sensuality of touch and delighted satisfaction. When the sirens of trans humanism scramble subtle signals of deep wisdom and artificial intelligence disturbs the delicacy of complex living systems, recalibrate, and attune with the experience of this book. -- Elizabeth Larkam author, Fascia in MotionThe most poetic journey through our innerness since Deane Juhan surprised us all with the soaring and elegant Job's Body. Like Deane, David Lauterstein and Jeff Rockwell are very experienced bodywork therapists and teachers. And also like Deane, they are artists with a deep appreciation of history, exploring the skeleton's subtle nuances and obscured meanings. Pure pleasure reading. -- Tom Myers

Springer International Publishing AG Neuroendocrine-Immune System Interactions
Book SynopsisThe concepts of the neuroendocrine system and the immune system emerged more or less simultaneously in the second half of the 20th century. Although these systems have a high degree of autonomy, it has also become clear that they interact in many ways and at different levels. This book focuses on the neuroendocrine and immune interactions that are fundamental to normal development and maintenance of health.The first introductory chapters are devoted to the historical and philosophical concepts within the field, as well as evolutionary considerations, offering critical interdisciplinary perspectives on the development of this field of research. Without attempting an exhaustive overview, the book then introduces some of the regulatory pathways that mediate interactions between the neuroendocrine and immune systems and examines modulating factors such as age and sex. In addition, several chapters address the importance of neuroendocrine-immune interactions in some disease states. Readers can expect to gain a broad perspective of neuroendocrine-immune interactions in development, health, and disease, along with a critical evaluation of current methods used in the field. Given its scope, the book is essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students with an interest in neuroendocrinology, neuroimmunology, and neuroscience, as well as postdoctoral fellows and established researchers seeking a comprehensive overview and historical perspective of the field of neuroendocrine-immune interactions.Table of Contents
