An Introduction to Stochastic Processes with Applications to Biology by Linda J. S. Allen (Prentice Hall) My goal in writing this book is to provide an introduction to the basic the­ory of stochastic processes and to some of the many biological applications of stochastic processes. The mathematical and biological background re­quired is kept to a minimum so that the topics are accessible to students and scientists in biology, mathematics, and engineering. Many of the biological applications are from the areas of population dynamics and epidemiology due to personal preference and expertise and because these applications can be readily understood. More

Choosing and Using Statistics: A Biologist's Guide by Calvin Dytham (Blackwell) explains how to select the appropriate method for processing data with a statistical software package, and how to extract information from the output produced. The biology textbook focuses on the actual use of the most popular statistics packages--SPSS, MINITAB, and Excel--rather than how they work. The second edition adds coverage of the G-test and logistic regression. More

Genomes, second edition edited by Terence A. Brown (Wiley) In the belief that courses on molecular biology should reflect the major research issues on the millennial horizon rather than those of the past decades, Brown offers an undergraduate textbook that focuses on the genome as a whole rather than individual genes.

MacMillian Science Library Genetics, 4 Volume set edited by Richard Robinson (MacMillian Science Library: Macmillian Reference USA , Thomson Gale) The goal of each of the entries in MacMillian Science Library Genetics is to give the interested student access to a depth of discussion not easily available elsewhere. Entries have been written by professionals in the field of genetics, including experts whose work has helped define the current state of knowledge. All of the entries have been written with the needs of students in mind, and they all provide the background and context necessary to help students make connections with classroom lessons. More

The Microbial Challenge by Robert I. Krasner (ASM) undergraduate text on human-microbe interactions. Provides an understanding of the biology of the microbial world and its effects on daily life. Contains three sections titled, challenges, meeting the challenges, and current challenges. Topics include microbial diseases, biological warfare, and antibiotic resistance. Full-color format. More

ActivEpi Interactive CD-ROM by David O. Kleinbaum (Springer-Verlag) This is a very pleasant way to study and learn the basics of epidemiological research and the fundamental concepts of statistical analysis. Kleinbaum has produced the first multimedia text teaching epidemiology. It is full of state-of-the-art pedagogical procedures seamlessly integrated into a multimedia format that covers the material commonly found in an introductory epidemiology course. More

Horticultural Reviews: Wild Apple and Fruit Trees of Central Asia by Jules Janick (Horticultural Reviews: Wiley) Horticultural Reviews presents state of the art reviews. Emphasis is on applied topics including the production of fruits, vegetables, nut crops, and ornamental plants of commercial importance. This volume deals with wild apple and fruit trees found in Central Asia.
Apple is the most ubiquitous and well‑adapted species of temperate fruit crops. It is grown in high latitude regions of the world where temperatures may reach‑40°C to high elevations in the tropics where two crops may be grown in a single year. Apples are the fourth most important world fruit crop following all citrus types, grapes, and bananas. More
