Product Description

Quantum computers, though not yet available on the market, will revolutionize the future of information processing. Quantum computers for special purposes like quantum simulators are already within reach. The physics of ultracold atoms, ions and molecules offer unprecedented possibilities of control of quantum many body systems and novel possibilities of applications to quantum information processing and quantum metrology. Particularly fascinating is the possibility of using
ultracold atoms in lattices to simulate condensed matter or even high energy physics.

This book provides a complete and comprehensive overview of ultracold lattice gases as quantum simulators. It opens up an interdisciplinary field involving atomic, molecular and optical physics, quantum optics, quantum information, condensed matter and high energy physics. The book includes some introductory chapters on basic concepts and methods, and then focuses on the physics of spinor, dipolar, disordered, and frustrated lattice gases. It reviews in detail the physics of artificial lattice
gauge fields with ultracold gases. The last part of the book covers simulators of quantum computers. After a brief course in quantum information theory, the implementations of quantum computation with ultracold gases are discussed, as well as our current understanding of condensed matter from a
quantum information perspective.

Product Description

A clear explanation of the cause, diagnosis, and treatment of diabetes

Written for a broad range of readers, including students, researchers, policymakers, health care providers, and diabetes patients and caregivers, this book explains the underlying biochemistry and physiology of diabetes mellitus. Each chapter contains a glossary that defines key terms, a summary that highlights essential concepts discussed in each section of the chapter, as well as a set of simple problems to help readers gain a richer and deeper understanding of diabetes, from its history to treatment options.

Understanding Diabetes begins with an overview of the disease, its worldwide prevalence and cost, and its connection to the global obesity epidemic. The author then explores the history of diabetes, including the first documented description of the disease dating back to 3400 BCE in Ancient Egypt. The next chapter, A Glucose Metabolism Primer, sets forth the pathways for the metabolism of glucose. Next, the book covers:

• Regulation of glucose metabolism and glucose metabolism gone wrong
• Diabetes classification system
• Diagnosis, including current laboratory tests
• Complications, such as retinopathy, neuropathy, and cardiovascular disease
• Hereditary transmission
• Prevention and treatment, including emerging research

Although a cure has still not been found, this book demonstrates that researchers are continuing to make major breakthroughs on all fronts in the fight against diabetes, including a better understanding of its causes and an improved ability to diagnose and treat the disease.

Understanding Diabetes: A Biochemical Perspective Review

I purchased this book to help me understand the biochemical basis for Diabetes and how potential new diagnostic tools might be developed. I appreciated the thorough and detailed descriptions provided for all the major biochemical pathways and the locations of the active pathways in various organs of the body. This helped put the disease, especially the reason obesity is often a precursor to type 2, into a much better perspective. I appreciated the author's manifest love for the subject matter and his personal approach to telling the story. The summary boxes helped me to review and refresh before moving ahead to new chapters. It is a clearly written text to be referred to often. The ample literature references provide good jumping off points to read a particular topic in more depth.

Product Description

A group of special interest to mammalogists, taxonomists, and systemicists, ungulates have proven difficult to classify. This comprehensive review of the taxonomic relationships of artiodactyls and perissodactyls brings forth new evidence in order to propose a theory of ungulate taxonomy.

With this straightforward volume, Colin Groves and the late Peter Grubb cut through previous assumptions to define ungulate genera, species, and subspecies. The species-by-species accounts incorporate new molecular, cytogenetic, and morphological data, as well as the authors' own observations and measurements. The authors include references and supporting arguments for new classifications.

A starting point for further research, this book is sure to be discussed and hotly debated in the mammalogical community. A well-reasoned synthesis, Ungulate Taxonomy will be a defining volume for years to come.

</p>

Ungulate Taxonomy Review

This is one of the most monumental undertakings in taxonomic history and changes a lot of the preconceptions that we had about hoofstock. Every single taxa of Perissodactyla and Artiodactyla has been reexamined and new findings have been made based upon the best evidence to date. As the authors say, this should not be the final word on their taxonomy, but a starting point for more research to be done.

To give an example of some of the revisions, there is now one more species of rhinoceros that we had envisioned (the northern white rhino) and there are now eight species of giraffes instead of one.

This book uses both the latest in DNA evidence as well as traditional morphological data. The morphological data is in some area the first time this information has been published (being taken from the massive files and notes of the late Peter Grubb).

Some people will find some of the information hard to swallow as it can be so revolutionary, but when Groves did the same thing with primate taxonomy in 2001, his findings were quickly adopted by the majority of scientists.

Bovidae has had the largest revision with nearly double the number of species previously accepted. These new findings are also the basis for the Bovidae chapter in the recent Handbook of Mammals of the World vol. 2. Both of these books together will give a better understanding of the massive changes that have happened.

The only drawback to this book is the lack of charts, diagrams, and maps. The only charts present are tables of morphologic data in the form of skull measurements. Exact localities are hard to pinpoint. Phylogenetic trees are completely absent and would be most welcome if a 2nd edition were to ever be done. A phylogenetic tree would be most handy in explaining why the genus Tragelaphus has been split into 5 different genera.

No doubt, this book will spur endless debates, but its main goal it to elucidate how diverse the ungulate world really is and to give a better starting point for the conservation of significant populations heretofore neglected.

Product Description

In this volume Ann Lee Bressler offers the first cultural history of American Universalism and its central teaching -- the idea that an all-good and all-powerful God saves all souls. Although Universalists have commonly been lumped together with Unitarians as "liberal religionists," in its origins their movement was, in fact, quite different from that of the better-known religious liberals.
Unlike Unitarians such as the renowned William Ellery Channing, who stressed the obligation of the individual under divine moral sanctions, most early American Universalists looked to the omnipotent will of God to redeem all of creation. While Channing was socially and intellectually descended from the opponents of Jonathan Edwards, Hosea Ballou, the foremost theologian of the Universalist movement, appropriated Edwards's legacy by emphasizing the power of God's love in the face of human sinfulness and apparent intransigence. Espousing what they saw as a fervent but reasonable piety, many early Universalists saw their movement as a form of improved Calvinism.
The story of Universalism from the mid-nineteenth century on, however, was largely one of unsuccessful efforts to maintain this early synthesis of Calvinist and Enlightenment ideals. Eventually, Bressler argues, Universalists were swept up in the tide of American religious individualism and moralism; in the late nineteenth century they increasingly extolled moral responsibility and the cultivation of the self. By the time of the first Universalist centennial celebration in 1870, the ideals of the early movement were all but moribund. Bressler's study illuminates such issues as the relationship between faith and reason in a young, fast-growing, and deeply uncertain country, and the fate of the Calvinist heritage in American religious history.

The Universalist Movement in America, 1770-1880 (Religion in America Life) Review

This very well researched and sourced book has one over-arching virtue. The theme with which it starts, that Universalism was a sort of improved Calvinism, is actually rigorously and creatively brought throughout the whole book like a fascinating leitmotiv. On the way you are filled in on all sorts of curious social corners of American history, like the haughtiness of Unitarians, or the salvific pretensions of Phrenologists. But somehow the author manages to keep the notion of a Calvinism, disengaged from the limitations of Predestination, as a recurring rubric by which to see a complex subject throughout a tangled history. That made it very fascinating to read. One is left with the inevitable question whether the average believer of this type would have had anything like the complex combination of freed-up Calvinism and rationalist optimism which the main thinkers of the Universalist movement had. In fact the later speculations by the author of why the movement lessened later, namely that the liberal viewpoint was too much like others easily available elsewhere, raises the previous doubt. The cumulative effect of the books insights, at least for me, was that it was an attenuated form of opposition, both in terms of social class and religion. But the good thing is that the dense history provided could be read a different way. On that reading Universalism really was a Calvinist logic taken in a very different direction. From their perspective, the ineluctably correct one. The whole book is so well done that it raises a variety of cultural and religious questions powerfully. It is also a good read, if you are into religious topics. I took it on a trip to California a while ago, and was drawn to reading it straight through even on vacation.
