Synopsis

In "North American Plesiosaurs: Elasmosaurus, Cimoliasaurus, and Polycotylus," Samuel Wendell Williston delivers a comprehensive exploration of three distinct genera of plesiosaurs that inhabited the ancient seas of North America. Williston employs a meticulous scientific approach, richly blending paleontological data with vivid descriptions, allowing readers to appreciate the anatomical complexities and ecological roles of these marine reptiles. His scholarly style is complemented by detailed illustrations and comprehensive analyses, situating the work firmly within the context of late 19th-century paleontology, when much of the understanding of fossilized reptiles was being established and debated. Samuel Wendell Williston was a prominent American paleontologist whose lifelong passion for fossils and natural history propelled him into the field's forefront during a time of significant discovery. His extensive fieldwork and influential theories on vertebrate evolution not only informed his research on plesiosaurs but also contributed to the broader understanding of prehistoric life. Williston'Äôs integration of rigorous observation with evolutionary concepts reflects the scientific rigor of his era, making his work essential for scholars of paleontology. For those intrigued by paleontological research and the evolution of marine reptiles, Williston's "North American Plesiosaurs" is a seminal text that lays the foundation for understanding these fascinating creatures. This book is a vital resource for students, researchers, and enthusiasts alike, offering insights that remain relevant in contemporary discussions about ancient marine ecosystems.

    In this exploration of the concept of the gene, Jonathan Slack looks at the discovery, nature, and role of genes in both evolution and development. Explaining the nature of genetic variation in the human population, how hereditary factors were identified as molecules of DNA, and how certain specific mutations can lead to disease, Slack highlights how DNA variants are used to trace human ancestry and migration, and can also be used by forensic scientists to identify individuals in crime. Slack also explores issues such as the role of genetic heritability and IQ as well as the changes that occur in the genes of populations during evolution. 
     
     
     
    An ideal guide for anyone curious about what genes are and how genetics can be put to use, this Very Short Introduction demonstrates the ways in which the gene concept has been understood and used by molecular biologists, population biologists, and social scientists around the world.

    Borders of Care - Immigrants...

    Probes the relationship between the immigration and health care systems in the United States. For the roughly ten million undocumented immigrants living in the United States, federal health care coverage is out of reach. Barred from Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act, most rely on hospital emergency rooms when they get sick, or clinics that don’t inquire about immigration status. Further obstacles to health care, including discrimination and the fear of deportation, mean that immigrants, undocumented or not, seek and receive less medical attention than any other population in the country. Yet immigrants haven’t always been ostracized from health care in the United States—providers and activists have for over a century worked to make medical services available to newcomers and migrants, including, at times, the undocumented. Drawing together stories from diverse communities from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, Borders of Care examines how health care in the United States has both included and excluded immigrants. Beatrix Hoffman analyzes both the health and immigration systems, adding to our understanding of why these structures, and the policies that support them, have resisted reform. Moreover, she shows that immigrants, often scapegoated as burdens on the health-care system, have strengthened it through their responses to systemic exclusion. By creating hospitals and clinics, serving as practitioners, fighting for safer workplaces, filing lawsuits, organizing and protesting, immigrants and migrants have improved medical access for everybody and advanced the idea of health care as a universal right. As accessible as it is authoritative, Hoffman’s survey could not be more timely.
