• Séptima edición de esta obra de referencia sobre los conocimientos teóricos y prácticos de la genética en medicina, que integra los principios básicos de la genética humana con la genética molecular moderna para una mejor comprensión del amplio rango de trastornos genéticos explicados.
• En la obra se estudia la relación ente la genética básica y la medicina clínica, apoyándose para ello en múltiples estudios de casos clínicos. Los autores proporcionan una detallada exposición de los principios fundamentales de la genética humana, destacando especialmente los conocimientos sobre genes y sobre los mecanismos moleculares de diferentes patologías.
• Esta nueva edición incorpora nuevos temas como los últimos avances sobre los diagnósticos moleculares, los conocimientos más recientes acerca del genoma humano, los farmacogenéticos, la bioinformática y otros muchos avances producidos en este campo de tan rápida evolución.
• El tratado se estructura en 18 capítulos, en los que se trata, con textos claros y explicaciones concisas, temas tales como la citogenética, la genética del cáncer y las bases moleculares y bioquímicas de la genética. Las más de 240 dinámicas ilustraciones y fotografías, de excelente calidad, sirven como guía visual para reconocer los trastornos genéticos estudiados en el libro.
• La obra, que ofrece el recurso del Student Consult para acceder online a todo su contenido, está dirigida a estudiantes y residentes en Medicina y, en general, a los estudiosos de las Ciencias de la Salud.

Thor’s Microsoft® Security Bible provides a "one-stop-shop" for Microsoft-related security techniques and procedures as applied to the typical deployment of a Microsoft-based infrastructure. The book contains detailed security concepts and methodologies described at every level: Server, Client, Organizational Structure, Platform-specific security options, application specific security (IIS, SQL, Active Directory, etc.) and also includes new, never-before-published security tools complete with source code.

• Named the 2011 Best Systems Administration Book by InfoSec Reviews
• Detailed technical information on security processes for all major Microsoft applications
• Unique project-based "storytelling" delivery, combining multiple security techniques and methods together for real-world solutions to security challenges in actual business use cases
• Reference-style content for access to specific application security techniques and methods
• Actual author opinion and guidance as not only HOW to go about security particular applications, but WHY to do so
• DVD Companion disk with source code, tools, video tutorials, and other materials

Thor's OS Xodus: Securely Migrating from Microsoft Windows to Mac OS X provides readers with everything they need to securely and successfully migrate from Microsoft to Mac. It includes information that can be found nowhere else, enabling users to execute a MSFT to OS X migration seamlessly and with minimal downtime.

The text is the most complete roadmap for entities that want to move away from Microsoft and decouple their dependency on Microsoft products. It is a perfect choice for enterprise computing, providing the ease and simplicity of a UI that can also be incredibly customized via configuration files because of its BSD core.

The text, authored by Thor Mullen, the founder of the "Hammer of God" security co-op group and Principal Security Architect for a worldwide, multi-billion dollar commerce platform, provides the perfect combination of Windows and Unix.

• Provides the best way to migrate from Microsoft products to OSX with information found in no other text
• The most complete roadmap for entities who want to move away from Microsoft and decouple their dependency on Microsoft products
• Authored by Thor Mullen, Principal Security Architect for a multi-billion dollar commerce platform, who teaches users how to create a secure OSX installation
• Unique resource that provides valuable information on moving from IIS to Apache, from MS SQL Server to MySQL, from .NET to PHP

Readers familiar with the first three editions of Ecology and Classification of North American Freshwater Invertebrates (edited by J.H. Thorp and A.P. Covich) will welcome the comprehensive revision and expansion of that trusted professional reference manual and educational textbook from a single North American tome into a developing multi-volume series covering inland water invertebrates of the world. The series entitled Thorp and Covich’s Freshwater Invertebrates (edited by J.H. Thorp) begins with the current Volume I: Ecology and General Biology (edited by J.H. Thorp and D.C. Rogers), which is designed as a companion volume for the remaining books in the series. Those following volumes provide taxonomic coverage for specific zoogeographic regions of the world, starting with Keys to Nearctic Fauna (Vol. II) and Keys to Palaearctic Fauna (Vol. III). Volume I maintains the ecological and general biological focus of the previous editions but now expands coverage globally in all chapters, includes more taxonomic groups (e.g., chapters on individual insect orders), and covers additional functional topics such as invasive species, economic impacts, and functional ecology. As in previous editions, the 4th edition of Ecology and Classification of North American Freshwater Invertebrates is designed for use by professionals in universities, government agencies, and private companies as well as by undergraduate and graduate students.

• Global coverage of aquatic invertebrate ecology
• Discussions on invertebrate ecology, phylogeny, and general biology written by international experts for each group
• Separate chapters on invasive species and economic impacts and uses of invertebrates
• Eight additional chapters on insect orders and a chapter on freshwater millipedes
• Four new chapters on collecting and culturing techniques, ecology of invasive species, economic impacts, and ecological function of invertebrates
• Overall expansion of ecology and general biology and a shift of the even more detailed taxonomic keys to other volumes in the projected 9-volume series
• Identification keys to lower taxonomic levels

Thorp and Covich's Freshwater Invertebrates: Keys to Nearctic Fauna, Fourth Edition presents a comprehensive revision and expansion of this trusted professional reference manual and educational textbook—from a single North American tome into a developing multivolume series covering inland water invertebrates of the world.

Readers familiar with the first three editions will welcome this new volume. The series, now entitled Thorp and Covich’s Freshwater Invertebrates, (edited by J.H. Thorp), began with Volume I: Ecology and General Biology, (edited by J.H. Thorp and D.C. Rogers).

It now continues in Volume II with taxonomic coverage of inland water invertebrates of the Nearctic zoogeographic region. As in previous editions, all volumes of the fourth edition are designed for multiple uses and levels of expertise by professionals in universities, government agencies, and private companies, as well as by undergraduate and graduate students.

• Features zoogeographic coverage for all of North America, south to the general area of the Tropic of Cancer, and Greenland and Bermuda
• Provides keys to families of freshwater insects
• Provides keys to all other inland water invertebrates at the taxonomic level appropriate for the current scientific knowledge
• Includes multiple taxonomic keys in each chapter that progress from higher to lower taxonomic levels, thereby allowing users to work up to their level of need and expertise
• Presents additional material in each chapter on group introduction, limitations to the keys, terminology and morphology, material preparation and preservation, and references
