内容简介 在线阅读本书

Unlike most Biotechnology textbooks, Dr. David P. Clark's "Biotechnology" approaches modern Biotechnology from a Molecular Basis, which grew out of the increasing biochemical understanding of physiology. Using straight forward, less-technical jargon, Clark manages to introduce each chapter with a basic concept, that ultimately evolves into a more specific detailed principle. This up-to-date text covers a wide realm of topics including forensics and bioethics using colorful illustrations and concise applications.

This book will help readers understand what molecular biotechnology actually is as a scientific discipline, how the research in this area is conducted, and how this technology may impact the future.

· Up-to-date text focuses on modern biotechnology with a molecular foundation
· Basic concepts followed by more detailed, specific applications
· Clear, color illustrations of key topics and concepts
· Clearly written without overly technical jargon or complicated examples
作者简介 Dr. Clark has taught courses in Molecular Biology and Bacterial Physiology and Biochemistry at Southern Illinois University since 1981.
Research into the Regulation of Alcohol Fermentation in E. coli has been funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Basic Energy Sciences from 1982 till present.
Supervised 11 masters and 7 PhD students
Published approximately 70 articles in scientific journals
Previously published work includes "Molecular Biology Made Simple and Fun" coauthored with Lonnie Russell. (Cache River Press, Vienna, IL, First edition, 1997 and Second edition, 2000)

编辑推荐 Review
"...a very readable, one-of-a-kind introduction to modern risk management and associated techniques for volatility and correlation modeling. The book strikes an excellent balance between mathematical rigor and intuition, and I would highly recommend it to any student or finance practitioner interested in learning about the latest and most important new developments in the field. This is a winner."
--Tim Bollerslev, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, U.S.A.

"This is a book I and dozens of others wanted to write, and a book everyone in financial risk management will want to read. It is rigorous yet immensely practical, unifying many threads from the past and pointing the way toward the future -- an instant classic."
