Level The first volume principally treats families of the Early Angiosperms, , Core Eudicots Research and , while the second concentrates on the Asterids. Presented in Volume 1 are micro- sections of the xylem and phloem of herbs, shrubs and trees of 1200 species and 85 families Type of Publication of various life forms of the temperate zone along altitudinal gradients from the lowland at Atlas the Mediterranean coast to the alpine zone in Western Europe. The global perspective of the findings is underlined by the analysis of 500 species from the Caucasus, the Rocky Moun- tains and Andes, the subtropical zone on the Canary Islands, the arid zones in the Sahara, in Eurasia, Arabia and Southwest North America, and the boreal and arctic zones in Eurasia and Canada. The presence of annual rings in all life forms demonstrates that herbs and dwarf shrubs are an excellent tool for the reconstruction of annual biomass production and the in- terannual dynamic of plant associations. The common principle of the anatomical expression of secondary growth is a key factor in understanding evolution and adaptation processes in all life forms, from the 2 cm tall whitlow grass (Draba arctica) in the arctic to the 40 m tall beech (Fagus sylvatica) in Central European managed forests. The study opens vast fields of research for dendrochronology, wood anatomy, taxonomy and ecology.

Although cooperation and altruism are often thought of as ways to attenuate competition and aggression within Type of Publication groups, or are related to the action of “selfish genes”, there is increasing evidence that these Contributed volume behaviors are the result of biological mechanisms that have developed through natural selection in group-living species. This evidence leads to the conclusion that cooperative and altruistic behavior are not just by-products of competition but are rather the glue that underlies the ability for primates and humans to live in groups. The anthropological, prima- tological, paleontological, behavioral, neurobiological, and psychological evidence provided in this book gives a more optimistic view of human nature than the more popular, conven- tional view of humans being naturally and basically aggressive and warlike. Although competition and aggression are recognized as an important part of the non- human primate and human behavioral repertoire, the evidence from these fields indicates that cooperation and altruism may represent the more typical, “normal”, and healthy behavioral pattern. The book is intended both for the general reader and also for students at a variety of levels (graduate and undergraduate): it aims to provide a compact, accessible, and up-to-date account of the current scholarly advances and debates in this field of study, and it is designed to be used in teaching and in discussion groups. The book derived from a conference sponsored by N.S.F., the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, the Washington University Committee for Ethics and Human Values, and the Anthropedia Foundation for the study of well-being.

Level The team of global experts takes our current understanding of desertification to a far Research broader level covering wider environmental science and public policy issues. This innovative Type of Publication new book attempts to distinguish between desertification hysteria and the considerable Monograph real threat that the process poses to many semi-arid landscapes and to those who inhabit them with particular focus on current scientific understandings of the mechanisms that drive desertification and reviews of the regional, continental and world-wide evidence for desertification. The book is structured into six core parts. The first part by Roy Behnke sets the scene and explains the event and related problems. The team explains how spheres and events interact and the related problems. Part 2 by Camilla Toulmin examines the evolution in thinking ideas about desertification, the confrontation of new data field experience with policy and legal frameworks set within the context of rising concerns about climate change. Part 3, written by Alessandra Giannini explores the scientific causes of desertification. He explores sea surface temperatures, albido and climate forecasts for the Sahel and the significant impact of climate change on desertification. Part 4 discusses regional and inter- national implications, with David Thomas revealing the extent and causes of desertification in drylands outside the Sahel. In particular he explores desertification in the Mediterranean, sub-Saharan Africa, the former Soviet Union, China, Australia and the US, and there‘s a fur- ther section on global databases on desertification. Michael Mortimer delivers a fresh review of drought adaptation and shows how it will be conducted in order to separate the myths from reality, identifying both the scope and the limitations of adaptive capacity in managing the economic and environmental impacts of drought. In the final section of the book, Mark Stafford Smith reveals some key lessons and helps us make sense of the history of Sahelian desertification, desertification science and policy mak- ing, and how to avoid future mistakes and the challenges that lie ahead.

Forthcoming Melanoma Development Due June 2011 Molecular Biology, Genetics and Clinical Application A. Bosserhoff, University of Regensburg, Germany (Ed.)

Features 7 Clearly structured book presenting all relevant aspects of malignant melanoma from basic research to therapeutic concepts. 7 Excellent authors contribute to this book. 7 Nowhere else a book focussing on both, molecular mechanism and therapeutical targets can be found. 7 Firstly presents the newly emerging area of melanoma research which leads to targeted therapies

The book provides comprehensive insights into molecular changes in malignant melanoma. The general mechanisms of melanoma growth and development are described, as well as new research findings. Our current knowledge on the molecules involved in cell transforma- tion and tumor progression will soon lead to sophisticated, targeted therapies. Recent stud- ies with targeted b-RAF inhibitors have given us grounds to hope that these therapies will be successful.
