Life As we Know It ["LAKI"] covers several aspects of Life, ranging from the prebiotic level, origin of life, evolution of prokaryotes to eukaryotes and finally to various affairs of human beings. Although it is hard to define Life, one can, however, characterize it and describe its features. Topics treated are categories of bacteria, algae and fungi, conscience, philosophy, theology, aesthetics, appearance of sport and life destiny, life after clinical death, and thoughts of the world to come ("Olam Haba"). The various chapters have been written so that they are accessible to all - from the avid lay reader to the specialist – and make available multidisciplinary sources of information about Life. This volume will interest open minded scholars, students at all levels of general sciences, natural and Life science, researchers of philosophy, theology, history of Life, astrobiology, and those who wish to widen their knowledge about "who are we in the universe". The information presented here on the various phenomena of Life were all written by highly qualified authors including scientists, public leaders, a professional athelete and three Nobel Laureates.

Proceedings of the Sixth Trieste Conference on Chemical Evolution, Trieste, Italy 18-22 September, 2000. Boston, Kluwer Academic Publishers 2004, cm.16,5x24,5, pp.XX,428, legatura editoriale cartonata, copertina figurata a colori. The general topic of this volume concerns the origin, evolution, distribution, and destiny of life in the Universe. Firstly, it discusses the transition from inert matter to cellular life and its evolution to fully developed intelligent beings, and also the possibility of life occurring elsewhere, particularly in other environments in our own and other solar systems. Secondly, the book explores the role that space missions may play in obtaining further insight into the question of the origin of life. Reviews are included of the research for microorganisms in the solar system and the well-established project for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. The present work is much broader in its scope than in previous conferences: over one hundred leading scientists have reviewed the entire range of subjects dealt with in these sixty-nine papers. Audience: This book is aimed at advanced students, as well as researchers, in the many areas of basic, earth, and life sciences that contribute to the study of the first steps in the origin of life..

Boston, Kluwer Academic Publishers 2004, cm.16,5x24,5, pp.740, legatura editoriale cartonata, copertina figurata a colori. Coll.Cellular origin and Life in Extyreme Habitats and Astrobiology. Origins: Genesis, Evolution and Biodiversity of Microbial Life in the Universeis the sixth unit of the book seriesCellular Origins, Lifein Extreme Habitats and Astrobiology (COLE)edited by Joseph Seckbach. In this book forty eminent scientists review their studies in the fields of Life from the beginning to the "Fact of Life". The history of Origin of Life and Astrobiology is well covered by these authors. Reviews cover the standard and alternative scenarios of the genesis of Life, while the chapters of "The First Cells" leading to the biodiversity and extremophiles of microbial Life. Among these extremophiles are the microbes living in the Life's limits, such as in high temperature, psychrophilic, UV radiation, and halophilic environments. The origin and history of Martian water is discussed followed by the possible biogeochemistry inside Titan. This new field of Astrobiology has been presented, from comets as a source of materials and Life on earth to the space for last Frontiers.

La guida propone un itinerario nella Bologna astronomica attraverso la visita al Museo della Specola, ospitato nella torre settecentesca - eretta su Palazzo Poggi, sede attuale dell'Università di Bologna - che nel XVIII e nel XIX secolo era utilizzata per l'osservazione astronomica in città. Il Museo contiene una vasta collezione di astrolabi, globi, carte celesti e vari strumenti matematici e astronomici. Il percorso si snoda lungo i diversi ambienti del Museo: la Sala Horn-D'Arturo, la Sala Meridiana, la Sala dei Globi, la Sala della Torretta. Non mancano riferimenti ad altri luoghi astronomici in città e nei suoi dintorni. Completa il volume un ampio

Il volume analizza gli aspetti più moderni della genetica umana e medica e quelli con i quali presumibilmente un medico verrà a contatto nei prossimi anni. Argomenti dei primi capitoli sono la struttura, le proprietà, le funzioni degli acidi nucleici e i loro rapporti con le patologie molecolari, per poi passare, nei capitoli successivi, alla citogenetica umana e alla genetica di popolazioni.

A cura di L. Gaudio e C.Polito. Napoli, Edises Universitaria 2000, cm.20x27, pp.XVIII,891, legatura editoriale cartonata, copertina figurata a colori. Il testo fornisce tutti gli strumenti necessari per affrontare con successo lo studio della genetica nonché un metodo di validità generale per la risoluzione dei problemi. Sono trattati in modo approfondito i principi fondamentali della genetica classica, molecolare e di popolazioni, con un approccio che enfatizza il processo dinamico di osservazione, sperimentazione e scoperta. Sono incluse discussioni ed esempi di genetica umana, con particolare attenzione ad argomenti oggetto di accesi dibattiti sugli aspetti sociali, legali ed etici della genetica, quali l’ingegneria genetica, la clonazione, la ricerca sulle cellule staminali e la terapia genica.

The impact of the physical environment. San Francisco, Academic Press 2003, cm.18,5x24,5, pp.XII,438, legatura editoriale cartonata, copertina figurata a colori. Driving evolution forward, the Earth's physical environment has challenged the very survival of organisms and ecosystems throughout the ages. With a fresh new perspective, Evolution on Planet Earth shows how these physical realities and hurdles shaped the primary phases of life on the planet. The book's thorough coverage also includes chapters on more proximate factors and paleoenvironmental events that influenced the diversity of life. A team of notable ecologists, evolutionary biologists, and paleontologists join forces to describe drifting continents, extinction events, and climate change -- important topics that continue to shape Earth's inhabitants to this very day. In a world where global change has become an international issue, this book provides a several billion-year evolutionary perspective on what the environment and environmental change means to life.

Second edition. Spinger 2006, cm.16x24, pp.XVI,348, with 65 figures including 13 color figures. legatura editoriale cartonata, copertina figurata a colori. Coll.Advances in Astrobiology and Bigeophysics. Nine years after the publication of Comets and the Origin and Evolution of Life, one of the pioneering books in Astrobiology, this second edition revisits the role comets may have played in the origins and evolution of life. Recent analyses of Antarctic micrometeorites and ancient rocks in Australia and South Africa, the continuing progress in discovering complex organic macromolecules in comets, protostars and interstellar clouds, new insights into organic synthesis in comets, and numerical simulations of comet impacts on the Earth and other members of the solar system yield a spectacular wealth of new results. This second edition is thus actually a new book. As the first edition it is intended as a comprehensive review of current research, accessible to graduate students and others new to the field. Each chapter was prepared by experts to give an overview of an aspect of the field, and carefully revised by the editors for uniformity in style and presentation.
