Laboratory Lifestyles: The Construction of Scientific Fictions (Leonardo)
by Sandra Kaji-O'Grady Chris Smith Russell HughesA generously illustrated examination of the boom in luxurious, resort-style scientific laboratories and how this affects scientists' work. The past decade has seen an extraordinary laboratory-building boom. This new crop of laboratories features spectacular architecture and resort-like amenities. The buildings sprawl luxuriously on verdant campuses or sit sleekly in expensive urban neighborhoods. Designed to attract venture capital, generous philanthropy, and star scientists, these laboratories are meant to create the ideal conditions for scientific discovery. Yet there is little empirical evidence that shows if they do. Laboratory Lifestyles examines this new species of scientific laboratory from architectural, economic, social, and scientific perspectives. Generously illustrated with photographs of laboratories and scientists at work in them, the book investigates how “lifestyle science” affects actual science. Are scientists working when they stretch in a yoga class, play volleyball in the company tournament, chat in an on-site café, or show off their facilities to visiting pharmaceutical executives?The book describes, among other things, the role of beanbag chairs in the construction of science at Xerox PARC; the Southern California vibe of the RAND Corporation (Malibu), General Atomic (La Jolla), and Hughes Research Laboratories (Malibu); and Biosphere 2's “bionauts” as both scientists and scientific subjects; and interstellar laboratories. Laboratory Lifestyles (the title is an allusion to Bruno Latour and Steve Woolgar's influential Laboratory Life) documents a shift in what constitutes scientific practice; these laboratories and their lifestyles are as experimental as the science they cultivate.

Laboratory Manual For Anatomy And Physiology Featuring Martini Art, Main Version
by Michael WoodThis laboratory manual is designed to serve the lab course that accompanies the two-semester anatomy and physiology lecture course. It provides students with comprehensive coverage of anatomy and physiology, beautiful full-color art and photographs, and an intuitive pedagogical framework. The primary goals of this manual are to provide students with hands-on experiences that reinforce the information they learn in the lecture course and to help them understand three-dimensional relationships, visualize complex structures, and comprehend intricate physiological processes. The manual is written to correspond to all current two-semester anatomy and physiology textbooks, although those students and instructors using Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology, Tenth Edition, by Frederic H. Martini, Judi L. Nath, and Edwin F. Bartholomew will recognize here some of the superb art from that text by William Ober and Claire Garrison, Martini's renowned biomedical illustrators. This sixth edition manual is available in three separate versions. The Main Version covers the full two-semester A&P curriculum, including dissections of the cow eye and of the sheep heart, brain, and kidney. The Cat Version includes all of the same material plus an additional section of nine cat dissection exercises encompassing the major body systems. The Pig Version, similarly, includes all of the material from the Main Version with a separate section of nine fetal pig dissection exercises. The Cat and Pig Versions make the manual more useful to instructors whose students perform animal dissections in the lab. The outstanding dissections and accompanying photographs are by Shawn Miller and Mark Neilsen and I thank each of them for their expertise.

Pritchett-CorningWith the advent of transgenic and other genetic engineering technologies, the versatility and usefulness of the mouse as a model in biomedical research has soared. Revised to reflect advances since the second edition, The Laboratory Mouse continues to be the most accessible reference on the biology and care of the mouse in research settings. This guide presents basic information and common procedures in detail to provide a quick reference source for investigators, technicians, and caretakers on the humane care and use of the mouse. The new edition adds information on novel technologies such as CRISPR-Cas and on housing systems and management practices; it covers new concepts such as pain assessment by facial expression and the importance of nest-building as an assessment tool of well-being. There are now expanded sections on anesthesia and analgesia, and on behavior and enrichment. An ideal quick reference for investigators, technicians, and animal caretakers charged with the care and/or use of mice in a research setting, this book will be particularly valuable to those new to working with mice who need to start research programs using these animals.
