The Dawn of Human Genetics<br />
V.V. Babkov<br />
In the 1920s, the groundwork was laid<br />
for a uniquely Russian approach to<br />
medical genetics <strong>and</strong> the foundation of<br />
the world’s leading center for the study<br />
of the genetic basis of many diseases<br />
<strong>and</strong> human genetics in general. The<br />
immense success of the movement is<br />
brought to life in V.V. Babkov’s ‘The<br />
Dawn of Human Genetics’, as is its<br />
dramatic <strong>and</strong> violent end, which<br />
resulted in the “liquidation” of many of<br />
the country’s finest biologists, as well as<br />
a major setback to the development of<br />
world science.<br />

Mammalian Development<br />
Networks, Switches, <strong>and</strong><br />
Morphogenetic Processes<br />
Edited by Patrick P.L. Tam,<br />
W. James Nelson <strong>and</strong> Janet Rossant<br />
During development, a single fertilized<br />
egg divides <strong>and</strong> differentiates to<br />
produce around 50 trillion cells. This<br />
must be tightly controlled so that cells<br />
of the right type are produced at the<br />
right time in the right numbers. This<br />
book describes how our genes control<br />
the process, explaining the principles<br />
of embryogenesis, the roles of stem<br />
cells <strong>and</strong> genetic programs, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
morphological changes that take place.<br />

behaviour has changed significantly<br />
over the last two decades warranting<br />
<strong>new</strong>er methods for road design. Yet<br />
unlike the advances made in building,<br />
ship <strong>and</strong> aircraft design, road design<br />
is still carried out much as it was more<br />
than fifty years ago.<br />
