Evolutionary Cell Biology

The Origins of Cellular Architecture

By: Michael R. Lynch

The fields of molecular evolution, genome evolution, and evolutionary genetics are now well-established. Remarkably, however, although all evolutionary modifications begin at the cellular level, and despite the advances made in cell biology and microbiology over the past few decades, there is as yet no recognised discipline of evolutionary cell biology. The goal of this book is to help establish the foundations for this emerging field. Its principal aims are twofold: firstly, to promote an understanding among evolutionary biologists as to why the cellular details matter if we are to understand the mechanisms of evolution; secondly, to make clear to non-evolutionary biologists - cell biologists in particular - that evolution is not just a matter of natural selection and optimization, but a process whose reach depends on other population genetic features such as mutation, recombination, and random genetic drift. Although there are many excellent books on cell biology, microbiology, and biophysics, almost no attention is given to evolution. Likewise, although there are numerous evolutionary biology books on the market, none of them gives more than passing attention to details at the cellular level. Thus Evolutionary Cell Biology is genuinely novel, offering a broader understanding of evolutionary processes and an appreciation for the many interesting problems that remain to be solved at the cellular and subcellular levels. This advanced textbook is aimed at both cell biologists and evolutionary biologists. It will be accessible to upper-level undergraduates in biology, and certainly to graduate students in all areas of the life sciences. Professionals from a wide range of fields - cell biology, microbiology, evolution, biophysics, biochemistry, and mathematics - will be exposed to entirely new ideas not traditionally covered in their primary fields of expertise.

The Manager as Leader

By: B. Keith Simerson,Michael L. Venn

Against the backdrop of corporate downsizings and rightsizings that have forever blurred the line between leaders and followers, The Manager as Leader presents practical strategies, tools, and techniques for developing the leadership mindset and applying it on a daily basis. The book introduces the Contextual Leadership Model, which identifies nine fundamental leadership roles and six common contexts in which leadership is exercised, and guides readers toward matching their roles and actions to the particular context at hand—as well as making adjustments when context changes. Packed with illustrative examples, diagnostic tools, worksheets, and other interactive elements, and featuring an extensive listing of resources, The Manager as Leader is a hands-on guide to the art of leadership, whether you are an executive, manager, supervisor, or aspiring leader anywhere in the organization. An invisible line between individual contributor and leader was once thought to exist, separating leaders from followers. Two decades of downsizings and rightsizings have forever blurred this distinction and left us with three fundamental challenges: (1) How can an organization elicit leadership from everyone?; (2) How can those who choose to lead influence others to perform more effectively and efficiently than they ever thought possible?; (3) How can leaders continue to be successful when the environment in which they lead is constantly changing? Addressing these challenges requires a certain awareness and nimbleness on behalf of the person thinking and acting as the leader, regardless of their formal position. The Manager as Leader presents practical strategies, tools, and techniques for developing the leadership mindset and applying it on a daily basis. The book introduces the Contextual Leadership Model, which identifies nine fundamental leadership roles and six common contexts in which leadership is exercised, and guides readers toward matching their roles and actions to the particular context at hand; it also shows readers how to anticipate changes in context and adjust their roles and actions accordingly. Packed with illustrative examples, diagnostic tools, worksheets, and other interactive elements, and featuring an extensive listing of resources, The Manager as Leader is a hands-on guide to the art of leadership, whether you are an executive, manager, supervisor, or aspiring leader anywhere in the organization.

Tilting at the Windmills of Transition

An Empirical Analysis of Spatial Systems of Entrepreneurship and Institutions in Russia

By: Michael Schlattau

This book investigates spatial institutional variation and its influence on entrepreneurial activity in the Russian Federation, building on an innovative geometric clustering approach. The book looks into how entrepreneurial entry can be explained by institutional factors at the regional level. Furthermore, it examines the relevance of understanding entrepreneurial ecosystems as systems of interrelated elements whose overall function may be impeded by individual components. Most importantly, substantial evidence is presented that higher levels of regional democratization and the liberties that come with them are essential prerequisites for higher rates of entrepreneurial entry and innovation in Russia. The author draws on a comprehensive panel dataset and an unconventional prediction model approach to account for the interrelatedness of institutions with regard to their effects on entrepreneurship. The heterogeneous transition context of the Russian Federation, which continues to have one of the lowest shares of innovative founders, provides an ideal setting for investigating the tedious efforts to tilt at the windmills of transition. Accordingly, the book is a must-read for researchers, scholars, practitioners and policymakers seeking a better understanding of spatial economics, entrepreneurship, economic development, transition economics, public administration and political studies.

Down the Drain!

Robert Munsch's hilarious take on bathtime is a long overdue tribute to the kids who dread taking them--and the poor parents who dread giving them! Adam is covered in dirt. His hands are dirty. His face is dirty. And his feet are dirty. "Adam, you need a bath!" his father yells. But Adam doesn't like baths. All that soap in his eyes, soap in his ears, and soap in his mouth! He doesn't like them one bit. So while his little sister, his dog, and his cat are laughing, Adam's father outsmartshim and pops him in the tub. Little does Dad know that Adam has a few tricks of his own...and once he's in the tub, in control of the tap AND the plug, the mayhem will begin!

?Does dim byd gwell er mwyn denu plentyn i ddarlen na stori sy?n cynnig llond bol o chwerthin. Bonws ychwanegol yw fod hiwmor y llyfr hefyd yn apelio?n fawr at rieni, a dyna?n sicr a geir yn y . . . stori fach hyn . . . Adrodd am helyntion Megan wrth ollwng y ?creaduriaid mwyaf twp? a welodd erioed allan o?u twlc a wneir yn Moch . . . Fe?n denir ni'n syth gan ddiwyg lliwgar y llyfrau yn ogystal a chan hiwmor bywiog ac iach y straeon . . . hawdd i?w darllen; ceir yma ailadrodd pwrpasol, ac mae maint y print yn addas ar gyfer plant sy?n cael eu cymell i ddarllen ar eu pennau eu hunain. Credaf fod addasiadau Iwan Llwyd . . . yn hynod raenus. Braf yw cael testun naturiol a chynhyrog, ac ambell ddisgrifiad gafaelgar, er enghraifft y disgrifiad o?r moch yn sefyll ?fel swigod ar blorod?. Mae'r sefyllfaoedd sylfaenol ddoniol yn ddeniadol dros ben . . . Dyma dair o'r storiau doniolaf yr wyf wedi eu darllen ers tro, ac mae?n braf dweud iddynt gael eu haddasu?n llwyddiannus i'r Gymraeg.
