Cellular Microbiology, 2nd ed.

The field of cellular microbiology is relatively new and incorporates aspects of microbiology and host cellular biology. The first edition of this text, published in 2000, was novel and well received. In general, this new edition is also well written and includes many of the most important recent advances in the field (e.g., microarrays and genome sequencing). The text deals almost exclusively ...

Principles and Utilization of Combining Ability in Plant Breeding

In any hybridization program, recognition of the best combination of two (or more) parental genotypes to maximize variance within related breeding populations, and as a result the chance of recognizing superior transgressive segregants in the segregating populations, are the most critical challenge to plant breeders. Since the combining ability was introduced in 1942, it has been widely adopted...

Mummies, disease and ancient cultures, 2nd ed

The first edition of Mummies, disease and ancient cultures was reviewed in Medical History in 1981 by my colleague Dr Simon Hillson, who called it "a fascinating book". This second edition is fundamentally revised and enlarged (by 62 pages), and brings in a new co-editor, in the person of the paleopathologist Theodore Reyman, the original joint-editor Aidan Cockburn having died as long ago as 1...
