Since cells are the smallest of all living organisms, scientists have had to develop various methods and tools to examine and research them. In the 17th century, the microscope was invented, allowing researchers a glimpse at the cell. Today, supercomputers put cells and experiments to the test. In microbiology laboratories and cancer research centers, well-trained, dedicated scientists work to explore the science of cells, making biotechnology a continuously growing field. In How Scientists Research Cells, Third Edition, learn how the first discovery of cells led to the first cloned mammal and additional scientific advancements.

Plants may seem like simple organisms, but their complex systems for food production, reproduction, and protection make them some of the most highly adapted living things on the planet. From the arctic tundra to the tropical rainforests, plants dominate the land and produce the energy necessary to sustain life on Earth. Plant Cells, Third Edition investigates these amazing organisms and explores how they have provided cures for some of today's deadliest diseases. Plants may also play a vital role in helping to solve some of the world's most pressing problems, such as air pollution, nonrenewable resource consumption, and food shortages. From low-lying mosses to massive redwoods more than 30 stories high, plants all have one thing in common: They all began life as a single cell.

Cells are considered one of the most basic units of life, yet their structure, processes, and reproduction are intricate and complex. From plasma membranes to cell organelles to the macromolecules that are the brick and mortar of a cell, structure is an important aspect to maintain the life processes of a cell. Some of these processes, including transfer of information from DNA to RNA to protein and the control of gene expressions, are necessary functions that aid in cell reproduction. In Cell Structure, Processes, and Reproduction, Third Edition, readers will explore how the major characteristics of a cell are crucial in enabling these tiny units to carry out specialized functions in multicellular and single-celled organisms.

Some 3.8 billion years ago, in an era of churning seas and murky skies, a few chemicals combined under the right conditions, and life emerged on planet Earth. From that first cell, life progressed to a myriad of one-celled organisms, to organisms capable of photosynthesis, to multicellular organisms, to simple plant and animal forms, up to the complex life-forms we know today. The Evolution of Cells, Third Edition traces these developments and how they may have occurred, through the scientific study of fossils, relationships among organisms, biochemistry of current life-forms, genetic sequencing, and laboratory experiments. Readers will also explore the complexity of cells and the ways science is making use of internal cell mechanisms for new discoveries in sustainable energy sources, cleaning up pollution, improving the food supply, and treating disease.

Die sogenannte Staufische Klassik hat von etwa 1170 bis 1230 einige der schönsten deutschen Liebesgedichte hervorgebracht – große Poesie, die uns auch heute noch anspricht. Das noch immer rätselhafte Phänomen der Minneidee zeigt sich um 1200 in seiner reinsten Gestalt: als jenes – nicht nur – platonisierende Umwerben einer meist verheirateten und sozial höhergestellten Frau durch Dichtersänger wie den von Kürenberg, Dietmar von Aist, Heinrich von Veldeke, Friedrich von Hausen und viele andere. Doch das hohe Ideal wird bald auf seine reale Tauglichkeit befragt, so schon bei Hartmann von Aue und Walther von der Vogelweide, der in seinen ‚Mädchenliedern’ die ‚niedere’ Minne besingt. Die mit den berühmten Bildern aus der Großen Heidelberger Liederhandschrift illustrierte Ausgabe enthält die schönsten Werbe- und Preislieder, Klagelieder, Tage- und Kreuzzugslieder, Wechselgesänge, Schwanklieder und erotische Pastourellen.

Ulla Berkéwicz hat Shakespeare, Calderón und Synge für das Theater übersetzt und bearbeitet. Nur Wir ist ihr erstes eigenes Theaterstück, ein poetischer Versuch, dem Thema Tod neue dramatische Bilder abzugewinnen. Nur Wir ist ein Todestraumspiel. Das Stück basiert in seinen Grundelementen auf einer realen Begebenheit, die vor fünfzehn Jahren durch die Zeitungen ging: Esther Albouy war das schlechte Gewissen eines Städtchens. Seitdem sie im Krieg wegen angeblicher Kollaboration mit den Deutschen öffentlich gebrandmarkt worden war, hatte sie ihr Elternhaus nicht mehr verlassen. Nach drei Jahrzehnten stürmten Gendarmen das Haus, fanden dort die anscheinend wahnsinnig gewordene Frau und ihren seit vielen Jahren toten Bruder. Nur Wir sind zwei Menschen, Schwester und Bruder, Sie und Er, die mit ihrem toten Bruder Klaus und den Erinnerungen an die Eltern leben, in ihrem Haus hausen, seit Jahr und Tag ihr Haus nicht mehr verlassen. Das Haus steht in einem Dorf, den Dorfbewohnern ist das Haus ein Totenhaus, ein Gespensterhaus, die Anwesenheit von Tod im Leben, die Bedrohung. Jeden Tag kommt der Postbote, der Bote aus der Außenwelt, wütet und droht, schlägt und tritt gegen Hauswände und verbarrikadiert Türen. Er und das Dorf, sie wollen das Totenhaus »abfackeln«, das Dach anzünden, die Wand hacken.Sie und Er, das sind, nach Walter Benjamin, »Figuren, die den Wahnsinn hinter sich haben«. Seit dem Tod der Eltern haben sie aufgegeben, das Leben zu leben. Da sie den Tod nicht begreifen, akzeptieren sie ihn nicht. Da sie den Tod nicht begreifen, begreifen sie das Leben nicht, und meinen, wenn man nicht lebt, kann einem der Tod nicht passieren. Das Haus wird zu einem Ort außerhalb der Welt. Im Dasein der beiden gilt einzig. Nur Wir. Als Leitmotiv und Kehrreim durchgehend von Anfang bis Ende steht die Frage: »Was ist gewesen? Was, wann?« Eine Frage, wie wir sie als Lebensbilanz auch bei Beckett finden, eine Fundamentalfrage, auf die es, als Signum des Daseins, keine Antwort gibt. Doch die Figuren von Nur Wir würden auch keine Antwort akzeptieren: »Wir dürfen spielen«, denn »es hängt von uns ab, was wirklich ist«. Und: »Es gibt noch ungeträumte Möglichkeiten.« Im letzten Bild stürmt der Postbote mit den Dorfleuten das Haus, doch Sie und Er mitsamt dem toten Bruder haben es verlassen: »Die Lösung des Rätsels des Lebens in Raum und Zeit« - so Wittgenstein - »liegt außerhalb von Raum und Zeit.« Die Figuren von Nur Wir nutzen die »noch ungeträumten Möglichkeiten«, steigen aus Raum und Zeit aus.In der Zeit vom 27. Oktober 1989 schrieb der Theaterkritiker Benjamin Henrichs über die gegenwärtige Theaterlandschaft: »...kein Weg führt weiter. man müßte umkehren, noch einmal von vorne beginnen und suchen, was man irgendwann unterwegs verloren hat: die Naivität. Das Theater ist eine intellektuelle Kunst und eine kindliche, und gut ist es nur, wenn es beides ist.« Benjamin Henrichs schloß, die Stückeschreiber »müssen das neue Theater herbeischreiben«. Hier ist ein solches Stück.
