Using Physical Chemistry in Biological studies?

This fully revised and expanded second edition of a highly popular book covers the physical chemistry of biological macromolecules and how to study it using up-to-date experimental techniques.  Alan Cooper is a Professor of Biophysical Chemistry at Glasgow University and the level he has adopted in this tutorial text is suitable for early undergraduate years in chemical or physical sciences, however, the book can also act as a basis for more advanced study. Students in other areas of the biological sciences will also appreciate the less intimidating approach to physical chemistry in the book.   For more details see http://www.rsc.org/shop/books/2011/9781849730815.asp

Can scientists and engineers replicate Nature and develop systems that operate in extreme environments?

This book not only explores how nature’s paradigms can be applied to defence and security needs but also addresses some of the wider challenges facing society.  Bio-inspired Materials and Sensing Systems explores how we can lean from Nature and use this knowledge to provide new approaches to solving some of these challenges.  Written by Peter Biggins, Dstl, John Hiltz, DRDC Atlantic, Canada and Anne Kusterbeck, US Naval Base Laboratory, Washington, the book provides an international overview of how bio-inspired or -derived approaches can be used to enhance components, systems and system of systems for defence and security applications.  For further information see http://www.rsc.org/Shop/books/2011/9781849731218.asp
