The Quest for Life-Changing Medicines

Take a new look at the world around you. The BBC is the world's oldest and most recognised public service broadcaster, with a mission to enrich people's lives through programming that informs, educates and entertains.

Take a new look at the world around you. What were the earliest dinosaurs like? How did they communicate? How do we know so much about them and why did they disappear? Which were the fastest, the fiercest, or the longest living? Based on the latest scientific research, The Story of the Dinosaurs will show you these ancient creatures in a whole new light. Using colourful and easy-to-follow infographics, each dinosaur is analysed, from the well-known Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops to the lesser known but equally fascinating Ichythosaur and Rhamphorhynchus. Palaeoanthropologist Ella Al-Shamahi guides us through the amazing world of prehistoric earth, and The Story of the Dinosaurs will bring its most infamous inhabitants to life. The BBC is the world's oldest and most recognised public service broadcaster, with a mission to enrich people's lives through programming that informs, educates and entertains. At the heart of that mission is great storytelling, and The Story Of guides use those tools to bring big subjects to life. With engaging infographics and illustration, accessible language and simple timelines, The Story Of will help you discover new worlds.

Chapman & Hall/CRC Biostatistics Series

This book provides guidance to the statisticians in industry on the non-technical "soft" skills that one needs to have in order to be successful as a statistician from the first day on the job until the last day. Focus is on oral and written communication as well as the right set of values and behaviors needed to have the biggest impact as a scientist and a leader. Examples from real world experiences are shared to help emphasize key points.

Chemical Receptor Sensory Systems explores chemosenses through the lens of pharmacologic theory, and how chemosensory systems, from the molecular level to the behavior of organisms, must behave given that their operations are functions of receptor pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. Throughout the book, information on concentration-dependence of chemical stimulation and likely relationship to receptor occupancy is strongly emphasized. In cases where a departure from expected pharmacologic behavior is encountered in the chemosenses, the discussion is directed toward probable explanations for the apparent disconnect. This book provides a new resource that on all chemosenses topics within a unifying conceptual framework of the science of pharmacology. It will be useful to a variety of researchers and graduate students in pharmacology, biology and physiology of sensory systems, researchers in sensory psychology, research scientists in food &amp; nutritional scientists, as well as clinical staff.

How to develop robots that will be more like humans and less like computers, more social than machine-like, and more playful and less programmed. Most robots are not very friendly. They vacuum the rug, mow the lawn, dispose of bombs, even perform surgery—but they aren't good conversationalists. It's difficult to make eye contact. If the future promises more human-robot collaboration in both work and play, wouldn't it be better if the robots were less mechanical and more social? In How to Grow a Robot, Mark Lee explores how robots can be more human-like, friendly, and engaging. Developments in artificial intelligence—notably Deep Learning—are widely seen as the foundation on which our robot future will be built. These advances have already brought us self-driving cars and chess match–winning algorithms. But, Lee writes, we need robots that are perceptive, animated, and responsive—more like humans and less like computers, more social than machine-like, and more playful and less programmed. The way to achieve this, he argues, is to “grow” a robot so that it learns from experience—just as infants do. After describing “what's wrong with artificial intelligence” (one key shortcoming: it's not embodied), Lee presents a different approach to building human-like robots: developmental robotics, inspired by developmental psychology and its accounts of early infant behavior. He describes his own experiments with the iCub humanoid robot and its development from newborn helplessness to ability levels equal to a nine-month-old, explaining how the iCub learns from its own experiences. AI robots are designed to know humans as objects; developmental robots will learn empathy. Developmental robots, with an internal model of “self,” will be better interactive partners with humans. That is the kind of future technology we should work toward.

How to Grow a Robot

A groundbreaking exploration of the science of longevity from Nobel Prize-winning molecular biologist Venki Ramakrishnan 'Enthralling and packed with insights.' - BILL BRYSON 'A must-read.' - STEPHEN FRY 'Spectacular. Changed my perspective on the whole living world but most of all myself.' - CHRIS VAN TULLEKEN __________________ How can science help us live better and longer? We are living through an exciting revolution in biology. Giant strides are being made in our understanding of why we age, and why some species live longer than others. Will we soon be able to cheat disease and death and live for a very long time, possibly many times our current lifespan? In Why We Die, Ramakrishnan takes us on a riveting journey to the frontiers of biology. He explains the latest scientific understanding of exactly why we age and how we might prevent it. He examines the cutting-edge efforts to extend lifespan by altering our natural biology and raises profound questions. Might death serve a necessary biological purpose? As science advances, what will it mean for us all if people start living longer? And how can we increase our chances of living long, healthy and fulfilled lives? Why We Die is a narrative of uncommon insight and beauty from one of our leading public intellectuals. 'An incredible journey.' - SIDDHARTHA MUKHERJEE 'Joyfully alive' - STEVE BRUSATTE 'Scientists do not come much more eminent than Venki Ramakrishnan... wonderfully readable... fascinating.'

This important book provides historical insight into how theory and practice have together shaped the development and identity of present-day social work. Including a close analysis of two well-known practitioner exemplars ¿ Jane Addams and Mary Richmond ¿ this ambitious survey considers the contribution and influence of a range of theoretical, research and practice developments, from early positivism and Marxism, to psychology, evidence-based practice and globalisation. Using a wide social science framework and now truly international in perspective, this new edition of a classic text will be of high value to advanced level students, researchers and professionals alike.

This important book by a respected scholar provides a far-reaching historical analysis of how theory and practice have together shaped the identity of present-day social work. Including a close analysis of two well-known practitioner exemplars – Jane Addams and Mary Richmond – this ambitious survey carefully weaves together a situationally contextualised exploration of actual social work practice with an analysis of the key conceptual and research preoccupations that have characterised social work’s academic development. The theoretical and research themes include: - early positivism - Marxism- psychology- evidence-based practice - globalisation- debates about the science of social work. This is a detailed, scholarly analysis of social work’s roots, development and boundaries at practice, research and theoretical levels, informed by a wide social science framework. Now truly international in perspective, this new edition of a classic text will be of high value to advanced level students, researchers and professionals who are interested in where social work has come from and what promises and challenges it faces.

Neurotoxicity is epidemic in modern society. While in recent years there has been an explosion of basic toxicological research concerning neurotoxicity, this information has not been translated for clinical practice. As a result, health professionals are in the dark as to the potential causes of neurotoxicity, the signs and symptoms, and the treatment. The Neurotoxicity Guidebook, 2nd Edition will provide an overview of the field of applied neurotoxicology, in-depth case reports showing a method for evaluating cases of neurotoxicity, in-depth coverage of some specific neurotoxic agents, and an introduction to treating neurotoxicity cases.
