Niemand würde bestreiten, dass Menschen unterschiedlich intelligent sind. Aber wenn es um die Ursachen geht, schlagen die Wellen regelmäßig hoch. Öffentlich mag kaum jemand behaupten, dass die Gene hier eine größere Rolle spielen als Erziehung und andere Umweltfaktoren.

Zimmer erklärt prägnant und verständlich, warum das so ...

This book summarizes what is currently known about gravity sensing and response mechanisms in microorganisms, fungi, lower and higher plants; starting from the historical eye-opening experiments from the 19th century up to today’s extremely rapid advancing cellular, molecular and biotechnological research. All forms of life are constantly exposed to gravity and it can be assumed that almost all organisms have developed sensors and respond in one way or the other to the unidirectional accel...

Woher kommt eigentlich Angst?Wie kommt es, dass Menschen von Angst zerfressen werden? War es die Stiefmutter oder die überfürsorgliche Mutter, die zu strenge Sauberkeitserziehung oder der autoritäre Vater?

This is a hands-on, practical guide to describe field trials in oil palm breeding. Such trials are essential in almost all breeding programmes to select and verify the real expression of different target traits. In oil palm these include yield, tolerance to pests and diseases, oil quality and adaptability to the environment. Breeding success is dependent upon the genetic resources available and the effectiveness of screening amongst these for the desired traits. Many of these screens can n...
