New books:

Raven, P. (2011). Biology

Klein, D. (2012). Organic chemistry

Summerfield, L. (2012). Nutrition, exercise, and behavior : an integrated approach to weight management

 ”Nutrition, Exercise, and Behavior: An Integrated Approach” takes a multifaceted, public health approach to examine all factors contributing to weight management issues and includes detailed coverage of treatment approaches and prevention strategies.

Amato, I. (2003). Super vision : a new view of nature

What does nature really look like? Scientific instruments enable us to see far more of the physical world than ever before. These devices can register millions of invisible colours, look back in cosmic time some 12 billion years, peer behind and within seemingly opaque barriers such as skin and bone, and capture events that last a mere trillionth of a second. In this volume, images of scientific interest and of beauty are accompanied by Ivan Amato’s descriptions, which shed light on the images themselves as well as the technologies that created them.

New ebook:

Smolin, L. (2010). Nutrition for sports and exercise

Introduces basic concepts of nutrition, how the body uses energy and changes during exercise, and examines when and what to eat and what not to ingest for participation in sports or vigorous exercise.
