Light is strange, sometimes dazzling, sometimes dim. It can be coloured or white, and also invisible. It has incredible energy, and zooms at amazing speeds. But what it actually is, no one, not even the most eminent scientist, can say. This book explains where light comes from and how humans have found many different ways of making it, the most ...
Cytokines are soluble mediators of intercellular communication. They contribute to a chemical signalling language that regulates development, tissue repair, haemopoiesis, inflammation and the immune response. Potent cytokine polypepides have pleiotropic activities and functional redundancy. They act in a complex network where one cytokine can ...
Despite our planet's name, Earth, most of it is under water. Thirty major groups of animals live on the planet, 19 of which live exclusively in the sea. This book takes the reader on a voyage of discovery in an imaginary "mini-sub" which travels through the "twilight zone" and slides down the continental slope to a vast abyssal plain. It ...
