Human Energetics in Biological Anthropology
Av Stanley J. Ulijaszek, C. G. Nicholas Mascie-Taylor m. fl.
Häftad, 2005
634 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Many aspects of human activity involve energy transfer of some type. Human Energetics in Biological Anthropology considers various ways in which measurements of energy intake, expenditure and balance have been used to study human populations by biological anthropologists and human biologists. …
Human Variability and Plasticity
Av C. G. Nicholas Mascie-Taylor, Barry Bogin
Häftad, 2005
634 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Plasticity refers to the ability of many organisms to change their biology or behaviour to respond to changes in the environment, particularly when these are stressful. Humans are, perhaps, the most plastic of all species, and hence the most variable. This book reflects on the history of research …

This volume provides a thought-provoking perspective on the empirical and analytic study of body form and composition. The techniques used for measuring body components such as fat, water, lean tissue, bone mass and bone density are evaluated against potential 'gold standards'. The nature of …
Research Strategies in Human Biology
Field and Survey Studies
Av Gabriel Ward Lasker, C. G. Nicholas Mascie-Taylor
Häftad, 2005
754 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This book is about doing research, not about the results obtained. Those engaged on their first research may have had plenty of preparation about the techniques and results of prior research related to their proposed study, but may have limited knowledge of the actual strategies employed or …
Molecular Biology and Human Diversity

The Evolution of Modern Human Diversity
A Study of Cranial Variation
Av Marta Mirazón Lahr, C. G. Nicholas Mascie-Taylor m. fl.
Häftad, 2005
971 kr

It is widely believed that reproductive cycles are very similar between human females. However, there are in fact considerable variations both between individuals and within the reproductive life of any given individual. 'Normal' reproductive cycles cover a wide range of eventualities, and the …
