- This book provides a timely and exceptional resource for using social media and other new technologies to help college students meet both general and discipline-specific objectives. It covers techniques built around well-known social networking technologies, as well as other emerging technologies such as mobile phone and tablet apps.
- An Introduction to Biological Membranes: From Bilayers to Rafts covers many aspects of membrane structure/function that bridges membrane biophysics and cell biology. Offering cohesive, foundational information, this publication is valuable for advanced undergraduate students, graduate students and membranologists who seek a broad overview of membrane science. Brings together different facets of membrane research in a universally understandable manner. Emphasizes historical development of the field. Topics include membrane sugars, membrane models, membrane isolation methods, and membrane transport. — Provided by publisher.
