    Personal Genomics and Personalized Medicine
    by Hamid Bolouri

    "Preserving the health benefits of genomics while minimizing the harms will be an important research goal. In that regard, Bolouri's exploration is a timely addition."

    Textbook of Structural Biology
    by Anders Liljas, Lars Liljas, Jure Piskur, Göran Lindblom, Poul Nissen & Morten Kjeldgaard

    "It is a marvelous book to learn or be reminded of all the structural information that I often want to know. At the same time it is a marvelous teaching book for new grad students or any kind of interested student. It replaces the now much older Branden and Tooze. There have now been quite a few similar kind of books, but this is as complete a book as I have seen, written in simple words, easy to follow with excellent illustrations."

    An Early Chapter of German Molecular Biology
    edited by Simone Wenkel & Ute Deichmann

    "This book is an interesting contribution to studies of the transformations of scientific, and in particular biological, disciplines, in recent decades."

    Computational Structural Biology
    Methods and Applications
    edited by Torsten Schwede & Manuel C Peitsch

    "Undergraduates and master students focussed on structural bioinformatics will clearly benefit from the breadth of topics covered... PhD students will find chapters in their area extremely helpful in getting a concise overview of the state of play of their field, references to key reviews and the challenges that lie ahead. Finally, post-docs and professors will be able to explore tangential areas of their immediate research and get a firm grasp of the larger field by having such a broad spectrum of material presented that is well written and up-to-date."

    The Origin of Individuals
    by Jean-Jacques Kupiec

    "Kupiec is a very successful writer, deservedly so. I enthusiastically recommend this courageous book with its iconoclastic viewpoint. The Origin of Individuals is a pleasure to read, presenting complex ideas clearly and effectively. Whether one agrees with him or not, Kupiec's is an inspiring work, a thought-provoking rollercoaster ride through the history of ideas about the origins of ontogeny."

    Physical Biology
    From Atoms to Medicine
    edited by Ahmed H Zewail

    "The scope of this collection of overviews of the present state and future possible developments in physical biology is very broad. The result is both informative and readable. Anyone interested in how physics, engineering and mathematics can contribute to research in biology and medicine, be it on the molecular level or on the healthcare level, should be able to find useful information and inspiration in this book."

    Timing the Future
    The Case for a Time-Based Prospective Memory
    edited by Joseph Glicksohn & Michael S Myslobodsky

    "This volume represents the state of the art regarding research on prospective memory, and I recommend it to all of those readers who are interested in human memory, human timing performance, or both ¡­ each of the volume's chapter is worth reading, and the editors have made a substantial contribution to bringing together different approaches to the phenomenon of prospective memory."

    Integrating New Technologies for Striga Control
    Towards Ending the Witch-Hunt
    edited by Gebisa Ejeta & Jonathan Gressel

    "This book is interesting for both its contents and approach ... Such a multidisciplinary and holistic approach combined with the apparent eagerness of the editors to finally solve the Striga problem makes this a highly recommendable book."
