Biology and Evolution of the Mexican Cavefish

By: Alex Keene,Masato Yoshizawa,Suzanne Elaine McGaugh

Biology and Evolution of the Mexican Cavefish features contributions by leading researchers in a comprehensive, unique work that examines a number of distinct areas of biology—evolution, development, ecology, and behavior—using the Mexican cavefish as a powerful model system to further understanding of basic biological processes such as eye degeneration, hearing, craniofacial development, sleep, and metabolic function. These fish are currently being used to better understand a number of issues related to human health, including age-related blindness, sleep, obesity, mood-related disorders, and aging. The recent sequencing of the cavefish genome broadens the interest of this system to groups working with diverse biological systems, and has helped researchers identify genes that regulate sleep, eye degeneration, and metabolic function. Mexican cavefish are particularly powerful for the study of biological processes because these fish evolved independently in twenty-nine caves in the Sierra de el Abra Region of Northeast Mexico. These fish have dramatic adaptations to the cave environment, and this can be used to identify genes involved in disease-related traits. This scholarly text will be of interest to researchers and students throughout diverse areas of biology and ecology. It includes photographs of animals and behavior in laboratory and natural settings that will also increase interest and accessibility to non-experts. - Includes a mixture of images and illustrations such as the geographical distribution of cave pools and the developmental biology of the nervous system - Features a companion site with geographical maps - Fills a notable gap in the literature on a topic of broad interest to the scientific community - Presents the recent sequencing of the cavefish genome as a groundbreaking development for researchers working with diverse biological systems

The Weakest Contestant of All Space and Time Vol. 1

By: Masato Hisa,KRSG

Hitomu is a young salaryman with a monotonous life until he is transported to another world. Now he's forced to fight to the death in an interdimensional gladiator tournament! After losing repeatedly, Hitomu is set against four weakling opponents. But instead of fighting them, he escapes, breaking out his fellow "losers" with him: a ghost boy, a slime girl, a useless robot, and a bug monster. Now fugitives on a hostile planet, the motley crew must rely on each other to survive!

The Weakest Contestant of All Space and Time Vol. 2

By: Masato Hisa,KRSG

After escaping a brutal fighting tournament, Yoshizawa Hitomu and his band of fellow "losers" are now on the run on an alien planet. The tournament organizers aren't happy with their jailbreak, and have sent the gang's former opponents out after them! Though they might be weak, together, Hitomu and the others stand a chance. Just one problem: they can hardly stand each other!

Tumultuous Decade

Empire, Society, and Diplomacy in 1930s Japan

By: Masato Kimura,Tosh Minohara

The 1930s was a dark period in international affairs. The Great Depression affected the economic and social circumstances of the world’s major powers, contributing to armed conflicts such as the Spanish Civil War and the Second World War. This volume focuses exclusively on Japan, which witnessed a flurry of progressive activities in this period, activities which served both domestic and international society during the “tumultuous decade.” Featuring an interdisciplinary and international group of scholars, Tumultuous Decade examines Japanese domestic and foreign affairs between 1931 and 1941. It looks at Japan in the context of changing approaches to global governance, the rise of the League of Nations, and attempts to understand the Japanese worldview as it stood in the 1930s, a crucial period for Japan and the wider world. The editors argue that, like many other emerging powers at the time, Japan experienced a national identity crisis during this period and that this crisis is what ultimately precipitated Japan’s role in the Second World War as well as the global order that took shape in its aftermath.
