Teacher Created Materials | 32 pages | English | 2008 | ISBN: 074390589X | PDF | 5,0 MB

Connect content-area literacy and science with differentiated readers featuring lab activities and profiles of related scientitists.

All plants need sun, water, air, and food to grow. Plants are anchored to the ground by their roots, which take in nutrients from the soil. Stems and stalks hold up plants and give them shape, and also hold the plumbing system of the plant. Leaves are the place where food is made for the plant. Many plants make crops for us to eat.

The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Succulents

The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Succulents by Gordon Rowley
Publisher: Salamander Books | 1978 | 256 Pages | PDF | plus JPEG images | 109 MB ISBN: 0861010116 | English
A guide to natural history and cultivation of cacti and cactus- like plants.
It is a great book for those who are looking for more scientific information on succulents families. It has many great pictures, but mostly of the plants in natural habitat, which is very different from the "house plants" look. There is a lot of technical terminology and explanation of photosynthesis, plants and flowers structure, few propagation tips and very little information on plants care and requirements, like watering, lighting, etc. If you looking for a plant science book - this is it.

Nicely illustrated book and high quality photos.

Historical Encyclopedia of Natural and Mathematical Sciences | 51.3 MB

Historical Encyclopedia of Natural and Mathematical Sciences | 51.3 MB


Hardcover: 5800 pages
Publisher: Springer; 1 edition (March 1, 2009)
Language: English

This Encyclopedia provides a saga of history of ideas, discovery and invention in the natural and mathematical sciences over 100 generations of great thinkers from Thales to Feyman. It blends the essential historical data (chronology, biographies, major background, political and economical events, etc.) together with science proper (principles, laws, experiments, observations, theories, equations, etc.). This encyclopedia tells the reader not only who did it and when it was done but also precisely what was done. In this treatise, I have drawn a map of science, technology and great ideas that is as accurate and complete as possible, yet sufficiently free from unessential details and sufficiently condensed as not to obstruct the general view.

The work spans the history and evolution of science up to 2005, including all technological, theoretical, and experimental milestones in the fields of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, earth and space sciences, cosmology etc. Included are also the social sciences, philosophy and historical and environmental events which impacted human life on earth.

This milestone extensive work combines the essentials of history – biography, chronology, political and economic background – with the observations, theories, principles, laws and equations that constitute the specifics of science.

The 5800-page Encyclopedia arises from the conviction that the optimal perspective on science is through the lens of history, setting aside traditional divisions of discipline and specialty, and rising above geopolitical boundaries. Reaching from 4,200 BCE to the 21st century CE, the Encyclopedia tells (as the author himself puts it) "not only who did it and when it was done but also precisely what was done."

The author, Ari Ben-Menahem, surveys 100 generations of great thinkers, offering 2070 detailed biographies of scientists, engineers, explorers and inventors, who left their mark on the history of science and technology. The span of coverage is all-encompassing: mathematics, philosophy, logic, physical and environmental sciences (including physics, chemistry, astronomy, earth and space sciences and cosmology), life sciences (biology, medicine, physiology, botany, zoology and biochemistry), associated engineering disciplines, and the social sciences (among them economics, psychology, sociology, anthropology, linguistics and more).

The six-volume Encyclopedia also includes 380 articles summarizing the time-line of ideas in the leading fields of science, technology, mathematics and philosophy, plus useful tables, figures and photos, and 20 ‘Science Progress Reports’ detailing scientific setbacks. Interspersed throughout are quotations, gathered from the wit and wisdom of sages, savants and scholars throughout the ages from antiquity to modern times.

Grave Secrets of Dinosaurs: Soft Tissues and Hard Science

Phillip Manning Grave Secrets of Dinosaurs: Soft Tissues and Hard Science
National Geographic | 2008 | ISBN: 1426202199 | 320 pages | PDF | 7,6 MB
Many of us have seen dinosaur bones and skeletons, maybe even dinosaur eggs...but what did those fearsome animals really look like in the flesh? Soft-tissue fossils give tantalizing clues about the appearance and physiology of the ancient animals. In this exciting book, paleontologist Phillip Manning presents the most astonishing dinosaur fossil excavations of the past 100 yearsincluding the recent discovery of a remarkably intact dinosaur mummy in the Badlands of North Dakota.

Bone structure is just the beginning of our knowledge today, thanks to amazing digs like these. Drawing on new breakthroughs and cutting-edge techniques of analysis, Dr. Manning takes us on a thrilling, globe-spanning tour of dinosaur mummy findsfrom the first such excavation in 1908 to a baby dinosaur unearthed in 1980, from a dino with a heart in South Dakota to titanosaur embryos in Argentina. And he discusses his own groundbreaking analysis of "Dakota," discovered by Tyler Lyson.

Using state-of-the-art technology to scan and analyse this remarkable discovery, National Geographic and Dr. Manning create an incredibly lifelike portrait of Dakota. The knowledge to be gained from this exceedingly rare find, and those that came before it, will intrigue dinosaur-loving readers of all ages.

Principles of Genetics

"Principles of Genetics" by Robert H. Tamarin
Mcgraw-Hill | English | 2001 | ISBN: 0072334193 | PDF | 64,6 MB

The twentieth century began with the rediscovery of Mendel's rules of inheritance and ended with the complete sequence of the human genome, one of the most monumental scientific accomplishments of all time. What lies in the future? What will the twenty-first century, the century of genomics, bring? Will geneticists a hundred years from now speak of a complete cure for cancer, heart disease, and mental illness? Will we have a cure for autoimmune diseases such as diabetes and arthritis? Will aging be slowed or even prevented? Will we have a complete understanding of the process of development and a concurrent elimination of birth defects and developmental problems? Will genetics put an end to world hunger? How will we live, and what will be the quality of our lives? The students who now are taking genetics will learn the answers to these questions as time progresses. Some students will contribute to the answers.

Practical Neurology 3rd edition

Practical Neurology, 3rd edition - Biller Jose
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins | English | ISBN 0781784832 | 864 pages | PDF | 7.94 MB | 2009
The Third Edition is an entirely rewritten version of the original text, accomplished through the addition of new and experienced contributors, and the inclusion of many illustrative tables and images. We asked authors to limit the length of their respective chapters and we tried to avoid repetition by cross-referencing chapters. A major effort has also been made to avoid eponymous names and to limit references only to the recent and essential. Every effort has been made in the editing of this book for content and accuracy, but it is possible that errors have been overlooked.

In the 10 years or so since the First Edition of this book was conceived and prepared, there have been extraordinary and exciting advances in neurological knowledge and a steady growth of subspecialties in neurology. Unfortunately, these strides have been received with some degree of complacency among busy practitioners due to their misapprehension of the nature and complexity of the neurological specialty. Thus, with joyful enthusiasm, we have completed this new edition of Practical Neurology according to the original plans of a single-volume, nonencyclopedic book that synthesizes current information and applies it to the diagnosis and management of the most commonly encountered disorders of the nervous system. Like previous editions, the Third Edition of Practical Neurology is a concise, pragmatic, and patient-centered resource advising clinicians (and apprentices in clinical neurology) who alternate between adult and pediatric clinical settings on how to decipher, deduce, and predict (ISBN13: 9780781784832).

A Sea without Fish: Life in the Ordovician Sea of the Cincinnati Region

A Sea without Fish: Life in the Ordovician Sea of the Cincinnati Region
By Richard Arnold Davis, David L. Meyer
Indiana University Press 2009 | 368 Pages | ISBN: 0253351987 | PDF | 10MB
The region around Cincinnati, Ohio, is known throughout the world for the abundant and beautiful fossils found in limestones and shales that were deposited as sediments on the sea floor during the Ordovician Period, about 450 million years ago--some 250 million years before the dinosaurs lived. In Ordovician time, the shallow sea that covered much of what is now the North American continent teemed with marine life. The Cincinnati area has yielded some of the world's most abundant and best-preserved fossils of invertebrate animals such as trilobites, bryozoans, brachiopods, molluscs, echinoderms, and graptolites

Dogs Never Lie About Love: Reflections on the Emotional World of Dogs

Dogs Never Lie About Love: Reflections on the Emotional World of Dogs
By Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson
Three Rivers Press | 1998 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 0609802011 | PDF | 25.77MB
Two years after his best-selling When Elephants Weep (LJ 5/15/95), controversial psychoanalyst Masson provides us with another blockbuster about the emotional lives of animals. Using "evidence" that he admits is decidedly anecdotal and speculative, Masson offers a thoroughly engaging discussion of what it means to think and feel as dogs do. Masson looks at the foundation of the human-dog bond, love, loyalty, heroism, submission, dominance, gratitude, fear, loneliness, dignity, humiliation, disappointment, sadness, and aggression. He also provides insightful chapters on dogs at work and at play, dog dreams, and dogs vs. cats. Whether or not you agree with Masson's conclusions, he is a skilled philosopher and accomplished writer. An extensive chapter-by-chapter bibliography is included, as well as the promise of a thorough index.

Pathophysiology of Disease : An Introduction to Clinical Medicine, Sixth Edition

Pathophysiology of Disease : An Introduction to Clinical Medicine, Sixth Edition 
Publisher: McGraw-Hill Medical | 2009 | ISBN: 0071621679 | 752 Pages | CHM | 18.7 MB

This unique interweaving of physiological and pathological concepts will put you on the path towards thinking about signs and symptoms in terms of their pathologic basis, giving you an understanding of the “whys” behind both illness and treatment.

This trusted text introduces you to clinical medicine by reviewing the pathophysiologic basis of the signs and symptoms of 100 diseases commonly encountered in medical practice. Each chapter first describes normal function of a major organ or organ system, then turns attention to the pathology and disordered physiology, including the role of genetics, immunology, and infection in pathogenesis. Underlying disease mechanisms are described, along with their systems, signs, and symptoms, and the way these mechanisms themselves determine the most effective treatment.

Encyclopedia of Evolution

Encyclopedia of Evolution
Facts on File | 2006 | ISBN: 0816055157 | 528 pages | PDF | 11,9 MB

Evolutionary science is not only one of the greatest breakthroughs of modern science, but also an area that draws a great deal of interest on the part of students and the reading public. Perhaps more than any other scientific area, evolutionary science has caused us all to question what we are, where we came from, and how we relate to the rest of the universe. "Encyclopedia of Evolution" contains more than 200 entries that span modern evolutionary science and the history of its development.

This comprehensive volume clarifies many common misconceptions about evolution. For example, many people have grown up being told that the fossil record does not demonstrate an evolutionary pattern, and that there are many "missing links." In fact, most of these "missing links" have been found, and their modern representatives are often still alive today. The biographical entries represent evolutionary scientists within the United States who have had and continue to have a major impact on the broad outline of evolutionary science.
