Där Kvillebäcken på Hisingen mynnar ut i Göta älv låg en gång en enslig och lantligt belägen färjeplats, varifrån man tog sig över till Göteborg på den södra älvstranden. Här fanns också ett värdshus med dåligt rykte och riklig tillgång på brännvin. Men kring sekelskiftet 1900 började industrier och mindre företag etableras i området. Med detta följde nya bostäder, och Kvillebäcken förvandlades stegvis från en lantlig utkant till en livlig arbetarstadsdel i Göteborg. Följ med på en faktarik historisk rundtur i Kville under 1900-talets första hälft, där vi möter nykterhetskämpar, poliser, butiksinnehavare, arbetare, brevbärare, skomakare, Kal & Ada, unga fotbollsspelare och andra gestalter från tiden. Med hjälp av fotografier, kartor, arkivmaterial och personliga minnen träder ett gammalt Kville fram.

-- Hedersomnämnande i samband med utmärkelsen "Årets Göteborgsbok 2023" -- Lundby på Hisingen i Göteborg genomgår från mitten av 1800-talet till början av 1900-talet en dramatisk förändring. På norra älvstranden etableras flera stora båtvarv vilket på ett avgörande sätt bidrar till att Lundby förvandlas från ett jordbrukssamhälle till en industristadsdel. Befolkningen ökar kraftigt – medan Lundby församling 1860 har omkring 1 500 invånare har antalet sextio år senare vuxit till drygt 20 000. När Lundby Hembygdsförening bildades i slutet av 1980-talet startade ett arbete med att samla in och dokumentera äldre fotografier. Resultatet idag är en omfattande bildsamling. Denna bok kom till som en del av en grundlig inventering av Lundby-fotografier från 1860-talet fram till omkring år 1930. Föreningens samling av foton har för detta ändamål kompletterats med bilder från andra källor. Förutom bokens bildmaterial, som omfattar omkring 240 fotografier och 45 kartor, återges ett antal barndomsminnen nedtecknade av Lundbybor, varav flera var varvsarbetare.

The human genome is a linear sequence of roughly 3 billion bases and information regarding this genome is accumulating at an astonishing rate. Inspired by these advances, The Human Genome in Health and Disease: A Story of Four Letters explores the intimate link between sequence information and biological function. A range of sequence-based functional units of the genome are discussed and illustrated with inherited disorders and cancer. In addition, the book considers valuable medical applications related to human genome sequencing, such as gene therapy methods and the identification of causative mutations in rare genetic disorders.The primary audiences of the book are students of genetics, biology, medicine, molecular biology and bioinformatics. Richly illustrated with review questions provided for each chapter, the book helps students without previous studies of genetics and molecular biology. It may also be of benefit for advanced non-academics, which in the era of personal genomics, want to learn more about their genome.

Key selling features:

Molecular sequence perspective, explaining the relationship between DNA sequence motifs and biological function Aids in understanding the functional impact of mutations and genetic variants Material presented at basic level, making it accessible to students without previous studies of genetics and molecular biology Richly illustrated with questions provided to each chapter

With the arrival of genomics and genome sequencing projects, biology has been transformed into an incredibly data-rich science. The vast amount of information generated has made computational analysis critical and has increased demand for skilled bioinformaticians. Designed for biologists without previous programming experience, this textbook provides a hands-on introduction to Unix, Perl and other tools used in sequence bioinformatics. Relevant biological topics are used throughout the book and are combined with practical bioinformatics examples, leading students through the process from biological problem to computational solution. All of the Perl scripts, sequence and database files used in the book are available for download at the accompanying website, allowing the reader to easily follow each example using their own computer. Programming examples are kept at an introductory level, avoiding complex mathematics that students often find daunting. The book demonstrates that even simple programs can provide powerful solutions to many complex bioinformatics problems.

Tekniska framsteg inom fotokonsten gör att polisen under 1860-talet får ett nytt hjälpmedel vid sitt spaningsarbete – fotografiska porträtt av brottslingar. Göteborgspolisens tidigaste porträtt finns samlade i ett ”Förbrytaralbum”. Författaren har närmare studerat ett hundratal av de ansikten som befolkar detta album och försett var och en av dem med en kortare biografi. Fram träder därmed en bild av brott och straff under andra halvan av 1800-talet. Eller om man så vill, en mängd kriminalhistorier. Ett brett spektrum av brott är representerade. Läs om : • operasångerskan som inte kunde sjunga • prästen som förgiftade sina församlingsmedlemmar med arsenik • falskmyntaren som var sitt kall så troget att han utövade det även under sin tid i fängelse • sol-och-våraren som bedrog en mängd kvinnor i både Sverige och Amerika • en av Sveriges största kvinnliga bedragare • en fingerad drunkningsolycka • kvinnan som blev gripen av polisen för häxeri – och många fler historier. "Boken ger en levande skildring i ord och bild av ett antal kriminella mäns och kvinnors brottsbanor". /Ur recension BTJ Av samma författare: Brottsplats Göteborg : Kriminalhistorier från sent 1800-tal.
