New books: 27 February 2008

Molecular genetics of bacteria. 3rd ed. / Larry Snyder & Wendy Champness. 2007.

VKL 572.8293 SNYDER

This landmark volume provides the single most comprehensive and authoritative textbook on bacterial molecular genetics. Perfect for advanced undergraduate and graduate-level courses, the text presents the latest research on the subject in a clearly written and well-illustrated style. It provides descriptive background information, detailed experimental methods, examples of genetic analyses, and advanced material relevant to current applications of molecular genetics. While providing a deep understanding of bacterial molecular genetics, the material is integrated with biochemical, genomic, and structural information to broaden understanding. The approach centers on the most-studied bacteria, Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. In addition, examples from other bacteria with medical, ecological, or biotechnological significance are covered throughout the text. The material in each chapter has been substantially revised and rewritten and reflects exciting developments in the field of bacterial molecular genetics and its relationship to other fields, including genetics, biotechnology, and bioengineering. Molecular Genetics of Bacteria, 3rd Edition is organized like the two previous editions. Each chapter contains a summary of main points, descriptions of significant experiments, a set of discussion questions and a problem set (with answers to both at the back of the book), and a list of suggested readings--all updated to reflect the most recent advances in the field. Additionally, text boxes present intriguing information on each topic without interrupting the continuity of the text. This new edition will be invaluable to anyone working in the fields of microbiology, genetics, biochemistry, bioengineering, medicine, molecular biology, and biotechnology. It is also essential reading for scientists in all fields of biology, many of whom depend upon the concepts and techniques covered in this book.

Fundamentals of esthetic implant dentistry. / Abd El Salam & El Askary. 2007.

VKL 617.692 EL ASKARY

Esthetic dentistry and implant dentistry continue to grow in patient demand and professional popularity. More now than ever, clinicians are faced with the need to combine form with function, art with science. The considerable scientific and technical leaps that have been made in this field mean that this goal is now more achievable, and "Fundamentals of Esthetic Implant Dentistry" seeks to share these advances with practitioners and students alike. Building on the foundations of Dr El Askary's previous book, "Reconstructive Aesthetic Implant Surgery", "Fundamentals of Esthetic Implant Dentistry" contains a wealth of new material to run the gamut of esthetic dentistry.Maintaining a focus on implant dentistry, the book guides the reader through clinical decision making, diagnosis, treatment planning, execution, and post-operative care. A thorough examination of pre-treatment planning, including an extensive section on whole-face assessment and smile design, provides a strong base for achievable and desirable esthetic outcomes. Full case studies demonstrate step-by-step the procedural practicalities of established and innovative surgical techniques, while anchoring them in solid scientific research. Designed to improve and expand the reader's repertoire of clinical skills, this expertly-crafted text serves as an indispensable companion to practitioners and students of periodontics, prosthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and general dentistry, bringing to its readers the freshest and best in esthetic dentistry.
