By exploring these early developments in immunology, the book lays the foundation for modern concepts, providing immunologists, biomedical researchers, and students the context for the discoveries in their field.The selectionist theory of antibody formationKinetics of primary and secondary antibody responseQuantitative methods of measurement of antigens and antibodyDemonstration of passive transfer of immunity from mother to foetus

Are we headed for a world of scarce resources and environmental catastrophe, or will innovation and markets yield greater prosperity In 1980, the iconoclastic economist Julian Simon challenged celebrity biologist Paul Ehrlich to a bet. Their wager on the future prices of five metals captured the public’s imagination as a test of coming prosperity or doom. Ehrlich, author of the landmark book The Population Bomb, predicted that rising populations would cause overconsumption, resource scarcity, and famine—with apocalyptic consequences for humanity. Simon optimistically countered that human welfare would flourish thanks to flexible markets, technological change, and our collective ingenuity. Simon and Ehrlich’s debate reflected a deepening national conflict over the future of the planet. The Bet weaves the two men’s lives and ideas together with the era’s partisan political clashes over the environment and the role of government. In a lively narrative leading from the dawning environmentalism of the 1960s through the pivotal presidential contest between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan and on into the 1990s, Paul Sabin shows how the fight between Ehrlich and Simon—between environmental fears and free-market confidence—helped create the gulf separating environmentalists and their critics today. Drawing insights from both sides, Sabin argues for using social values, rather than economic or biological absolutes, to guide society’s crucial choices relating to climate change, the planet’s health, and our own.

The concept of specific receptors for drugs, hormones and transmitters lies at the very heart of biomedicine. This book is the first to consider the idea from its 19th century origins in the work of John Newport Langley and Paul Ehrlich, to its development of during the 20th century and its current impact on drug discovery in the 21st century.

Paul R. Ehrlich's best-selling The Population Bomb predicted disaster due to overpopulation, that "in the 1970s & 1980s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death", that nothing can be done to avoid mass famine & radical action is needed to limit overpopulation. The book is a Malthusian catastrophe argument, that population growth will outpace agricultural growth unless controlled. Ehrlich assumes population is going to rise exponentially & that available resources are at their limits. Whereas Malthus didn't make firm predictions of imminent catastrophe, Ehrlich warned of potential massive disasters. Unlike Malthus, he didn't see any means of avoiding the disaster entirely. The solutions for limiting its scope he proposed were more radical than those Malthus postulated. The book deals not only with food shortage, but also with other crises caused by rapid population growth, expressing the possibility of disaster in broader terms. A population bomb requires: A rapid rate of change A limit of some sort Delays in perceiving the limit The predictions came true, but the effects are mainly unfelt in the developed world. Food production grows exponentially at a rate higher than population growth, in both developed & developing countries, partially due to the efforts of Borlaug's Green Revolution of the '60s. Food per capita is the highest in history. On one hand population growth rates significantly slowed down, especially in the developed world. Famine hasn't been eliminated, but its root cause is political instability, not global food shortage. On the other hand, in the '80s & '90s in a number of countries population growth rates still exceeded economic growth. On quite a few occasions political instability was caused by food shortages.

In this classic bestseller, Paul de Kruif dramatizes the pioneering bacteriological work of such scientists as Leeuwenhoek, Spallanzani, Koch, Pasteur, Reed, and Ehrlich. This seventieth anniversary edition features a new introduction by F. Gonzalez-Crussi. Index.

In 1969, Mills, then a college valedictorian, leapt into the fledgling ecology movement by announcing that she would never bring a child into an already overpopulated world. In succeeding years she plunged into San Francisco's environmental activism, working with David Brower, Stewart Brand, Paul Ehrlich and Joan MacIntyre, among others. This winning memoir is both a retrospective of the movement and a personal account of Mills's own shift from environmentalism on an abstract and global scale to bioregionalism, which is practical and local in scope. - Publishers Weekly

A former Forbes science editor argues that Jeremy Rifkin, Jay Forrester, Carl Sagan, Paul Ehrlich, and other environmental experts are wrong in their assertion that, due to the burning of fossil fuels and rain forests, the earth is in grave danger.

“BioGraffiti is a highly diverting mix of the whimsical and scholarly, of science and art. It will be read―and reread―by those interested in biology and life.” ―Paul R. Ehrlich Legend has it (it may even be true) that J. B. S. Haldane, when asked by a clergyman what he could infer about God from the works of creation, responded, “He must have had an inordinate fondness for beetles.” Were I asked to infer something essential about Homo sapiens from his work, I should probably reply that this zoological odd-ball required humor to lighten a life taken too seriously. How else can we explain the fact that very profession has its underground classic of humorous self-deprecation and verse? Garstang’s Larval Forms has long filled this role for evolutionary biology. But, as a residual Victorian, Garstang turned out some mighty stuffy poems―and recapitulatory theory of the details of invertebrate morphology do no reside on the frontier of modern biology. But voyeurs and hedonists can now rejoice, for John Burns has produced a worthy successor, a work full of all that is modern in evolutionary biology―mathematical modeling, ecological strategies, ethological theories and, oh yes, plenty of sex.

Examines the efforts of scientists, historians, anthropologists, and literary critics to overturn many of the theories and assumptions of such well-known "progressive" authors as Paul Ehrlich, Noam Chomsky, Margaret Mead, and Alfred Kinsey.

“If you have any interest in life beyond your own, you should read this book.”—Paul R. Ehrlich, author of The Dominant Animal  Biologist Rob Dunn’s Every Little Thing is the story of man’s obsessive quest to catalog life, from nanobacteria to new monkeys. In the tradition of E.O. Wilson, this engaging and fascinating work of popular science follows humanity’s unending quest to discover every living thing in our natural world—from the unimaginably small in the most inhospitable of places on earth to the unimaginably far away in the unexplored canals on Mars.
