‎The Shakespeare Mask‎

‎Jaico Publishing House. Softcover. New. In the sixteenth century a precocious young nobleman draws the attention of the Elizabethan court – and of The Virgin Queen herself. A writer and patron of the arts Edward de Vere is volatile controversial – and brilliant. He leaves a trail of women and scandal in his wake. But his plays when he’s in the queen’s good graces charm the court. His sonnets turn feelings into sound. Yet the rules of the court say a nobleman may not publish. An earl’s name is too sacred for the theater. If de Vere must write he must do so anonymously and employ a runner an almost illiterate cobbler’s son from Stratford to claim his words.

‎DNA Evidence and Forensic Science‎

‎Viva Books Private Limited 2015. Softcover. New. Description: Recent developments in forensic methods have revolutionized crime scene investigations so that one piece of forensic evidence can often determine an individual’s guilt or innocence. Tests involving fingerprinting polygraphs ballistics toxicology voice analysis DNA typing and other techniques can be combined or used independently to provide information about a crime. Some of these methods have been known and used for many centuries; others have been developed only recently. Some procedures create highly valid and reliable results; others generate conclusions that may be uncertain at best or legally useless. DNA Evidence and Forensic Science examines the history and opinions surrounding the issue-from the early use of fingerprinting to identify civil servants to the latest advances in DNA typing in criminal investigations. Documents such as the Employee Polygraph Protection Act of 1988 and contemporary case studies such as Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals provide multiple perspectives and decisions surrounding the issue while also plotting a course for the future of legislative action pertaining to DNA evidence and forensic science. Each volume of the Viva Library in a Book series is carefully designed to be a first-stop research source on important current issues. Written clearly and carefully so that even the most complex aspects of the topic are easily understandable the books give the reader the essential information to begin work plus the research tools needed to delve more deeply into the issue. Each book includes a history of the subject biographical information on important figures in the field a complete annotated bibliography and a carefully designed index-everything the researcher needs to get down to work.

‎The New Biology Series Six-Volume Set‎

‎Viva Books Private Limited 2010. First edition. Hardcover. New. Aging tackles all aspects of this fascinating subject from natural processes to technological developments and describes past and present research into extending the human life span. Author Joseph Panno discusses scientists’ attempts to understand the aging process and how their resulting theories many generated from the studies of the fruit fly and housefly have provided a basis of knowledge in the field of gerontology. The recent trend in gerontology the study of the mechanisms of the aging process is to search for genes that have a demonstrable effect on life span the so-called longevity genes. Scientists have discovered a number of these genes providing valuable insight into the cellular mechanisms of aging that may lead to the development of truly effective antiaging therapies. Panno examines not only the use of hormone therapy and antioxidants including other possible ways to reverse the effects of aging but also their side effects and monetary investments. In a clear and concise manner this volume presents the efforts progress and realities of this intriguing topic. Aging includes an index a glossary of terms a helpful list of Internet resources and an array of historical and recent print resources.

The ability to clone a mammal was the culmination of research in cell and developmental biology that stretched back to the late 1800s. With the introduction of recombinant DNA technology in the 1970s scientists learned enough about the cell and properties of cell division to deem mammalian cloning a possibility. The attention given to the cloning of a sheep named Dolly in 1996 heralded the start of a heated debate by the public the government and the media over this new technology. Author Joseph Panno discusses the scientific ethical and legal issues of animal cloning as well as the historical development of the process of cloning. The book features an unbiased view of the complex debate surrounding this area of science especially with regard to therapeutic and reproductive cloning using stem cells harvested from human embryos. From the origin of the idea of cloning a mammal in 1898 to the reality of cloned animals in the 20th century to recent developments in the scientific and ethical aspects of cloning this volume articulates all sides of this controversial technology.

‎Stem Cell Research‎

‎Viva Books 2008. First edition. Hardcover. New. Although invisible to the naked eye stem cells have become the center of a debate among scientists politicians religious leaders patients and the general public. Stem cells are unique in their potential for developing into other types of cells as they mature and adult stem cells are routinely used in numerous medical treatments. However embryonic stem cell research begs the fundamental questions of what constitutes a human life and whether or not there should be a limit to scientific exploration. Proponents of stem cell research acclaim the possible benefits of such research—from using stem cells to enable the body to regenerate from injuries to finding a cure for debilitating diseases such as juvenile and adult diabetes. Many scientists propose stem cell research as a technique to learn more about biology especially the development of cells and embryos. On the other side of the stem cell debate opponents focus on the ethical problems inherent in such research asserting that stem cell research is a "slippery slope" that could lead to cloning of human beings. As science and technology continue to advance it is clear that the debate over stem cells will become even more complicated. Stem Cell Research provides the information necessary to approach this controversial issue from multiple perspectives. This book includes a history of the subject biographical information on important figures in the field a complete annotated bibliography and a carefully designed index—everything the researcher needs to get down to work. Contents: Part I Overview of the Topic • An Introduction to Steam Cell Research and Issues over Its Use in the United States • The Law and Stem Cell Research • Chronology • Biographical Listing • Glossary • Part II Guide to Further Research • How to Research Stem Cell Issues • Annotated Bibliography • Organizations and Agencies • Part III Appendices • Diagrams • Roe v.
