Extensively reorganized and rewritten, the new Evolution 4th edition (PDF) — featuring a new coauthor: Mark Kirkpatrick (The University of Texas at Austin) — offers additional expertise in evolutionary genomics and genetics, the fastest-developing area of evolutionary biology. Directed toward an undergraduate audience, the PDF etextbook emphasizes the interplay between

Air traffic controllers need advanced information and automated systems to provide a safe environment for everyone traveling by plane. One of the primary challenges in developing training for automated systems is to determine how much a trainee will need to know about the underlying technologies to use automation safely and

Relational databases represent one of the most pervasive and enduring forms of information technology. Yet most textbooks covering relational database design undertake a sophisticated extensive, sophisticated computer science background. There are textbooks on relational database software tools like Microsoft Access that undertake less background, but they emphasize primarily on details

Behavioral neuroscience encompasses the disciplines of neurobiology and psychology to study mechanisms of behavior. This volume Ethical Issues in Behavioral Neuroscience (PDF) provides a contemporary overview of the current state of how ethics inform behavioral neuroscience research. There is a dual emphasis on ethical challenges in experimental animal approaches and

A complete comprehensive guide to thermal systems design covering fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, and thermodynamic power cycles Connecting the gap between the fundamental concepts of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and heat transfer, and the practical design of thermo-fluids components and systems, Introduction to Thermo-Fluids Systems Design (PDF) focuses on the
