Organic Chemistry; Seventh Edition

Posted by R Santhosh Kalash

on 9/19/2013 07:35:00 am

This seventh edition, like its predecessors, blends the traditional functional-group approach with a mechanistic approach. The primary organization is by functional group, beginning with the simple (alkenes) and progressing to the more complex. Most faculty will agree that students new to the subject and not yet versed in the subtleties of mechanism do better this way. In other words, the what of chemistry is generally easier to grasp than the why. Students usually attach great importance to a text’s lead-off reaction because it is the first reaction...

Drug Metabolism and Transport: Molecular Methods and Mechanisms

Posted by R Santhosh Kalash

on 9/19/2013 07:19:00 am

Two key aspects of how the body handles drugs and other chemicals are metabolism and transport. Metabolism is critical because it enables the body to process highly lipophilic molecules for further metabolism and eventual excretion, inactivates biologically active molecules, or detoxifies potentially toxic chemicals. Transport processes are critical because they determine the ability of drugs and other chemicals to gain access to sites of metabolism or to physiological or toxicological targets within tissues. The remarkable advances in molecular and...

on 9/19/2013 07:12:00 am

All of us are aware of the sharp increase in demand for enantiomerically pure reagents and products that has transpired over the past twenty-five years or so. To some extent, the move in this direction has been brought on by the quest by synthetic organic chemists for optically pure natural product targets and for effective asymmetric catalysts. More significantly, this activity has been spurred on throughout the world by governmental oversight agencies whose responsibility it is to guarantee the availability of pure drugs for human consumption....

Drug Metabolism: Chemical and Enzymatic Aspects

Posted by R Santhosh Kalash

on 9/19/2013 07:08:00 am

Drugs and other xenobiotics can exert a wide variety of pharmacological and toxic effects. In order to understand these effects it is necessary to understand both the structural parameters that are a direct cause of these effects as well as the factors that control the concentration of the drug in the body, such as absorption, metabolism, and elimination. To fully appreciate drug action requires at least minimal expertise in a variety of disciplines such as chemistry, biochemistry, kinetics and biology. While complicated and demanding in...

on 9/18/2013 11:08:00 pm

Roughly one hundred years ago at a meeting of Bavarian psychiatrists, Dr. Alois Alzhiemer presented the intriguing case of his patient, Auguste D., a 51 year-old female admitted to the local asylum with presenile dementia. He would argue that specific lesions in and around neurons were responsible for dementia. In the ensuing decades, studies of her disorder, which would be named Alzheimer’s disease (AD), were largely limited to descriptive neuropathological and psychological assessment of this disease with little understanding of the molecular...

Ecology: Concepts and Applications; Fourth Edition

Posted by R Santhosh Kalash

on 9/15/2013 06:22:00 pm

The accelerating pace of discovery makes the teaching of a dynamic scientific discipline such as ecology very challenging. The challenge to ecology instructors and their students is made greater by the relevance of ecology to the pressing environment problems that threaten ecological system at every level. As we attempt to educate students to understand and design solutions to those problems, every facet of ecology is relevant. Therefore, ideally, an introduction to ecology should include such breadth, and developing it to sufficient depth,...

Introduction to Plant Physiology; Fourth Edition

Posted by R Santhosh Kalash

on 9/13/2013 11:33:00 am

This is a book about how plants work. It is about the questions that plant physiologists ask and how they go about seeking answers to those questions. Most of all, this book is about how plants do the things they do in their everyday life. The well-known conservationist John Muir once wrote: When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything in the universe. Muir might well have been referring to the writing of a plant physiology textbook. The scope of plant physiology as a science is very broad, ranging from biophysics...

Color Atlas and Textbook of Human Anatomy (Nervous system and sensory organs): Volume three

Posted by R Santhosh Kalash

on 9/12/2013 02:05:00 pm

The number of students as well as colleagues in the field who have learned neuroanatomy according to volume 3 of the color atlas has been steadily increasing. Kahle’s textbook has proved its worth. What should one do after taking on the job of carrying on with this text book, other than leaving as much as possible as it is? However, the rapid growth in our knowledge of neuroscience does not permit this. In just the last few years many new discoveries have been made that have shaped the way we view the structure and function of the nervous system....

Color Atlas of Physiology; Fifth edition

Posted by R Santhosh Kalash

on 9/12/2013 02:03:00 pm

In the modern world, visual pathways have outdistanced other avenues for informational input. This book takes advantage of the economy of visual representation to indicate the simultaneity and multiplicity of physiological phenomena. Although some subjects lend themselves more readily than others to this treatment, inclusive rather than selective coverage of the key elements of physiology has been attempted. Clearly, this book of little more than 300 pages, only half of which are textual, cannot be considered as a primary source for the serious...
