What is the mind? How can we study the mind? How did it emerge? What are the characteristics and capabilities that make us distinctly human? These questions and others are carefully examined in this clearly written and provocative guide to the most fascinating new frontier in psychology today. Whether used as an accompaniment to the WNET/13 telecourse or employed on its own, the Guide introduces the reader to new breakthroughs in a variety of disciplines as presented by eminent educators, scientists, and practitioners in the fields. The chapters progress from biology to behavior, from research to psychological applications. The contributors integrate research from immunology, microbiology, neuroscience, genetics, anthropology, linguistics, and psychology to present the entry-level student with a broad perspective on the study of the mind. Included are definitions of key terms and opportunities for self evaluation and progress checks.

Handbook of the Biology of Aging
<i> <p>Handbook of the Biology of Aging, Eighth Edition, </i>provides readers with an update on the rapid progress in the research of aging. It is a comprehensive synthesis and review of the latest and most important advances and themes in modern biogerontology, and focuses on the trend of 'big data' approaches in the biological sciences, presenting new strategies to analyze, interpret, and understand the enormous amounts of information being generated through DNA sequencing, transcriptomic, proteomic, and the metabolomics methodologies applied to aging related problems. </p> <p>The book includes discussions on longevity pathways and interventions that modulate aging, innovative new tools that facilitate systems-level approaches to aging research, the mTOR pathway and its importance in age-related phenotypes, new strategies to pharmacologically modulate the mTOR pathway to delay aging, the importance of sirtuins and the hypoxic response in aging, and how various pathways interact within the context of aging as a complex genetic trait, amongst others. </p>
