Ammonoid Paleobiology: From anatomy to ecology
This two-volume work is a testament to the abiding interest and human fascination with ammonites. We offer a new model to explain the morphogenesis of septa and the shell, we explore their habitats by the content of stable isotopes in their shells, we discuss the origin and later evolution of this important clade, and we deliver hypotheses on its demise. The Ammonoidea produced a great number o…

The Gene Ontology Handbook
The Gene Ontology (GO) is the leading project to organize biological knowledge on genes and their products in a formal and consistent way across genomic resources. This has had a profound impact at several levels. First, such standardization has made possible the integration of multiple resources and sources of knowledge, thereby increasing their discoverability and simplifying their usage. S…

The Vertebrate Integument Volume 2 Structure, Design and Function
The emphasis in this volume is on the structure and functional design of the integument. The book starts with a brief introduction to some basic principles of physics (mechanics) including Newton’s Three Laws of Motion. These principles are subsequently used to interpret the problems animals encounter in motion. It is in only the last 40 or so years that we have begun to understand how imp…

Ageing and Technology : Perspectives from the Social Sciences
The booming increase of the senior population has become a social phenomenon and a challenge to our societies, and technological advances have undoubtedly contributed to improve the lives of elderly citizens in numerous aspects. In current debates on technology, however, the »human factor« is often largely ignored. The ageing individual is rather seen as a malfunctioning machine whose def…

Dominant cultural narratives about later life dismiss the value senior citizens hold for society. In her cultural-philosophical critique, Hanne Laceulle outlines counter narratives that acknowledge both potentials and vulnerabilities of later life. She draws on the rich philosophical tradition of thought about self-realization and explores the significance of ethical concepts essential to the p…
