Like humans, mice naturally develop diseases that affect their immune, endocrine, nervous, cardiovascular, skeletal, and other physiological systems. As such mouse has become the premier mammalian model system for studying such diseases as cancer, atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis, and glaucoma; moreover, certain diseases that occur in humans but not normally in mouse-CF, ALS, Huntingdon’s disease, for example-can be induced by manipulating the mouse genome and environment. This volume reviews current research findings and thought on mouse models for such human dise

An exploration of mankind s fascination with worlds beyond our own by the bestselling author of The Physics of Star Trek Lawrence Krauss an international leader in physics and cosmology examines our long and ardent romance with parallel universes, veiled dimensions, and regions of being that may extend tantalizingly beyond the limits of our perception. Krauss examines popular culture s current embrace (and frequent misunderstanding) of such topics as black holes, life in other dimensions, strings, and some of the more extraordinary new theories that propose the existence of vast

A cult classic--one of the first books to make the way physicists think about the world accessible to the general reader--now fully updated to keep pace with modern science. Fear of Physics is a lively, irreverent, and informative look at everything from the physics of boiling water to cutting-edge research at the observable limits of the universe. Rich with anecdotes and accessible examples, it nimbly ranges over the tools and thought behind the world of modern physics, taking the mystery out of what is essentially a very human intellectual endeavor.

"This is critical theory grounded in the viscera and in the libido. A minimum of academic jargon, a satisfying helping of lovely description, a surprising amount of good dirty sex, not to mention an all-star cast of characters - Greenberg, Pollock, Woolf, Warhol, Deleuze, Sartre, Artaud, Madonna, and Jung productively inhabit these pages - which add up to nothing less than a persuasive rewriting of 20th-century culture." -- Voice Literary Supplement "Original, fascinating, personal, often brilliant, combative." -- Arthur C.
