Review Biochemical and Physical Properties: Structural and Physical Data I (Landolt-Brnstein: Numerical Data and Functional Relationships in Science and Technology - New Series, a) / Springer:This volume provides structural data of selected proteins, physical and chemical properties of amino acids, peptides and proteins, and information on theoretical studies. The pace at which new data are being generated in the biological sciences is breathtaking. However, it also creates a problem. Vast amounts of unsurveyable information may actually turn into desinformation by obliterating the borderlines of high and low quality data. Therefore authoritative data compilations bearing the state of the art approval of experts in the field are becoming increasingly important in view of this knowledge explosion. Another aspect of science development necessitates the availability of critically reviewed data compilations. We are witnessing an ever increasing degree of interdependence between previously more or less independently evolving branches of science. For example biotechnology and the pharmaceutically sciences are thriving as much on new findings in molecular biology as they profit from structural or thermodynamic information.

Review Historical Encyclopedia of Natural and Mathematical Sciences / Springer:This milestone extensive work combines the essentials of history – biography, chronology, political and economic background – with the observations, theories, principles, laws and equations that constitute the specifics of science. The 5800-page Encyclopedia arises from the conviction that the optimal perspective on science is through the lens of history, setting aside traditional divisions of discipline and specialty, and rising above geopolitical boundaries. Reaching from 4,200 BCE to the 21st century CE, the Encyclopedia tells (as the author himself puts it) "not only who did it and when it was done but also precisely what was done. " The author, Ari Ben-Menahem, surveys 100 generations of great thinkers, offering 2070 detailed biographies of scientists, engineers, explorers and inventors, who left their mark on the history of science and technology. The span of coverage is all-encompassing: mathematics, philosophy, logic, physical and environmental sciences (including physics, chemistry, astronomy, earth and space sciences and cosmology), life sciences (biology, medicine, physiology, botany, zoology and biochemistry), associated engineering disciplines, and the social sciences (among them economics, psychology, sociology, anthropology, linguistics and more). The six-volume Encyclopedia also includes 380 articles summarizing the time-line of ideas in the leading fields of science, technology, mathematics and philosophy, plus useful tables, figures and photos, and 20 ‘Science Progress Reports’ detailing scientific setbacks. Interspersed throughout are quotations, gathered from the wit and wisdom of sages, savants and scholars throughout the ages from antiquity to modern times.

Review Z=19-83 (Landolt-Bornstein: Numerical Data and Functional Relationships in Science and Technology - New Series) (Part 2) / Springer:Nuclear resonance parameters for levels created in reactions with incident protons and a-particles, as well as other light charged particles such as deuterons, tritons, and He-3 nuclei, are of great interest for nuclear spectroscopy, astrophysical models, thermonuclear calculations and other applications. In the Landolt-Börnstein volume I/19A the parameters have now been compiled. No systematic compilation for such data has been performed so far. A large part of the experimental data has been produced during the last 10 years. The compilation was prepared by eminent experts in the fields. One of the characteristics of Landolt-Börnstein is that data are evaluated before they are accepted for compilation. The idea is to present ‘best values’ which can be used with confidence by non-experts. Preparing such best values also implied making corrections necessary because of different energy calibrations in various publications. Subvolume I/19A2 contains the data for nuclei with Z ranging from 19 to 83. In view of the large amount of data available some of the information is given on the CD ROM only. [+]The data for nuclei with Z up to 18 has been published in Subvolume I/19A1. Parameters for nuclear levels produced in reactions with incident neutrons were previously published by Landolt-Börnstein in volumes I/16B and I/16C.

Review The Evolution Debate, 1813-1870 (Vol. IX) / Routledge:This collection brings together key works in the development of evolutionary theory. The material ranges from the fundamentalist work of Philip Gosse, who insisted on a literal reading of Genesis, to T. H. Huxley, whose passionate defence of evolution theory earned him the title of "Darwin's Bulldog. " Between these two extreme positions are situated the works of Cuvier, Wallace, Buckland, Lyell, and Owen, all of whom rejected Darwin's version of evolution to varying degrees.

Review The Prokaryotes: Vols. 1-7 (Set) (v. 1-7) / Springer:The first edition of The Prokaryotes, published in 1981, took a bold step to become the most comprehensive and authoritative encyclopedic handbook on prokaryotes. Another important step was taken with the second edition in 1992, when the chapters were organized on the basis of the molecular phylogeny as a rational, evolutionary basis for the taxonomy of the prokaryotes. By then, the two volumes of the first edition had expanded to four. With the decision to publish the handbook electronically, the third edition was the boldest step of all. The advantages were obvious and persuasive: essentially unlimited space, no restrictions on the use of color, and the inclusion of film and animated illustrations. Nevertheless, the affection for a printed handbook was highly underestimated and during the first 5 years of the continuously evolving online version, a growing demand for a new print edition was voiced by the scientific and corporate community. Thus, Springer is now publishing a third edition in printed form. In total, 7 volumes will make up this new fully revised and updated version. Compared to the second edition, this edition will contain 85% new contents, printed in color throughout. It will be ideally suited for research centers in academia and in the corporate world that need reliable and up-to-date information on the biology of the prokaryotic organisms.

Review Handbook of Neurochemistry and Molecular Neurobiology / Springer:The Second Edition of the Handbook of Neurochemistry, which was published about 24 years ago, consisted of 10 volumes. The present, Third Edition, The Handbook of Neurochemistry and Molecular Biology, is over twice as large; indicating a great expansion of neuroscience in the past two decades. We now have not only more data on brain mechanisms relating to behavior (mental activity and cognitive processes), but we understand in some detail the mechanisms of these functions. The past editions focused purely on neurochemical aspects – the new edition reflects the need of interdisciplinary approach for understanding neural mechanisms. In addition to metabolic processes, the 17 new volumes explore the functions of peptides, transport, immunology and other processes not well understood 24 years ago. Several volumes deal with pathological changes and with repair and therapy of both mental and neurological pathologies. The purpose of this edition is to provide an evaluation of the results of investigations; to serve as a guide rather than enumerating all the available findings in detail – it indicates future possibilities and the existing knowledge in neuroscience. The significance of understanding neural processes needs no emphasis – its potential is primary in mental and neural pathology, but also in physiological importance. The volumes should serve as an aid to researchers expanding our knowledge and to educators training the next generation of neuroscientists and clinicians.
