A provocative and revelatory new biography of the legendary UCLA coach John Wooden, by one of America''s top college basketball writersNo college basketball coach has ever dominated the sport like John Wooden. His UCLA teams reached unprecedented heights in the 1960s and ''70s capped by a run of ten NCAA championships in twelve seasons and an eighty-eight-game winning streak, records that stand to this day. Wooden also became a renowned motivational speaker and writer, revered for his "Pyramid of Success."Seth Davis of Sports Illustrated and CBS Sports has written the definitive biography of Wooden, an unflinching portrait that draws on archival research and more than two hundred interviews with players, opponents, coaches, and even Wooden himself. Davis shows how hard Wooden strove for success, from his All-American playing days at Purdue through his early years as a high school and college coach to the glory days at UCLA, only to discover that reaching new heights brought new burdens and frustrations. Davis also reveals how at the pinnacle of his career Wooden found himself on questionable ground with alumni, referees, assistants, and even some of his players. His was a life not only of lessons taught, but also of lessons learned.Woven into the story as well are the players who powered Wooden''s championship teams – Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Walton, Walt Hazzard, and others – many of whom speak frankly about their coach. The portrait that emerges from Davis''s remarkable biography is of a man in full, whose life story still resonates today.

This second edition provides new and updated protocols to investigate clock-controlled parameters including period estimations and entrainment measurements and modelling. Chapters detail promoter activity using luciferase reporters, fluorescent-tagging of clock proteins and cellular imaging, protein level measurements, regulated RNA splicing detection, post-translational modifications, protein-protein interactions, and protein DNA/chromatin interactions. Additional chapters focus on seasonal processes like hypocotyl growth and flowering time control in annuals and trees, and techniques on soybean. Written in the format of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, lists necessary materials and reagents, includes tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls, and step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols.

Authoritative and practical, Plant Circadian Networks: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition is designed not only for the chronobiology community dealing with circadian biology but also for the plant community in general.
