Given the explosion of information and knowledge in the field of Life Sciences, adapting primary literature as materials in course work as part of active learning seems to be more effective in improving scientific literacy among science undergraduates than the pure transmission of content knowledge using traditional textbooks. In addition, students also read research articles as part of undertaking laboratory research projects useful for preparing them for graduate school. As such, a good grasp of reading and analytical skills is needed for students to understand how their research project contributes to the field that they are working in. Such skills are being taught at UK and USA universities. In Asia, this approach in teaching has not yet been as widespread, although similar ideas are beginning to be used in education. Written as a quick guide for undergraduate students and faculty members dealing with scientific research articles as part of a module or research project, this book will be useful, especially in Asia, for students and faculty members as the universities look to incorporating the use of scientific research articles in their undergraduate teaching. For Life Science students, the first time they encounter a primary literature can be rather daunting, though with proper guidance, they can overcome the initial difficulties and become confident in dealing with scientific articles. This guidebook provides a structured approach to reading a research article, guiding the reader step-by-step through each section, with tips on how to look out for key points and how to evaluate each section. Overall, by helping undergraduate students to overcome their anxieties in reading scientific literature, the book will enable the students to appreciate better the process of scientific investigations and how knowledge is derived in science.

Les articles rassemblés dans ce volume sont le fruit des débats du live colloque international d’études humanistes qui s’est déroulé à Tours en juin 2011. Ils prolongent une réflexion engagée dès 2009 dans un premier colloque parisien, intitulé Passeurs de textes : imprimeurs et libraires à l’âge de l’humanisme. L’enquête ici s’est élargie pour prendre en compte, selon l’heureuse expression de Robert Darnton, l’ensemble des « gens du livre » et des « gens de lettres » à la Renaissance : graveurs de caractères, voyageurs, colporteurs, auteurs, philologues et traducteurs - tous ces artisans ou ces érudits qui ont contribué, dans la fièvre des ateliers de libraires-imprimeurs, à la circulation des textes. Autour de la figure, à la fois centrale et excentrée, du « passeur de textes », capable de faire franchir au savoir obstacles et frontières, les contributeurs de ce livre se sont interrogés sur la matérialité des textes qui circulent, leurs itinéraires géographiques, leurs cheminements intellectuels ; ils ont aussi cherché à retrouver les motivations de tous les acteurs qui ont patiemment rassemblé le patrimoine culturel de la Renaissance. Livres, lettres, textes mais aussi images circulent d’un lieu à l’autre, migrent vers de nouveaux univers mentaux, empruntent d’autres langues pour déployer dans le monde occidental l’ensemble des connaissances botaniques, médicales, géographiques, philologiques ou architecturales qui constituent ce patrimoine culturel. Les presses de l’imprimeur deviennent un lieu de passage où s’élaborent des stratégies intellectuelles et commerciales complexes, où se nouent des liens entre les différents acteurs du monde du livre, où les compétences se croisent et se complètent ; la figure du grand graveur et fondeur de caractères typographiques, Claude Garamont, qui faisait en 2011 l’objet d’une commémoration nationale, s’y dessine de manière emblématique. Depuis l’humble artisan parfois anonyme jusqu’au savant, philologue ou traducteur, qu’il ait nom Budé, Alberti ou Vésale, tous les acteurs évoqués ici interrogent les usages des savoirs, anticipent les goûts du public, construisent la connaissance - jouant pleinement leur rôle de passeurs et, plus encore, de veilleurs attentifs aux livres et aux textes.

"Coral Mary Bell AO, who died in 2012, was one of the world's foremost academic experts on international relations, crisis management and alliance diplomacy. This collection of essays by more than a dozen of her friends and colleagues is intended to honour her life and examine her ideas and, through them, her legacy. Part 1 describes her growing up during the Great Depression and the Second World War, her short-lived sojourn in the Department of External Affairs in Canberra, where she was friends with some of the spies who worked for Moscow, and her academic career over the subsequent six decades, the last three of which were at The Australian National University. Most of Coral's academic career was spent in Departments of International Relations. She was disdainful of academic theory, but as discussed in Part 2, she had a very sophisticated understanding of the subject. She was in many ways a Realist, but one for whom agency, in terms of ideas (the beliefs and perceptions of policy-makers) and institutions (including conventions and norms of behaviour), essentially determined events. Part 3 is concerned with power politics, including such matters as Cold War competitions, crisis management, alliance diplomacy, and US and Australian foreign policies. She recognised that power politics left untrammelled was inevitably catastrophic, and was increasingly attracted to notions of Concerts of Power."--Publisher's website.

"The Critic in the Modern World explores the work of six influential literary critics--Samuel Johnson, William Hazlitt, Matthew Arnold, T.S. Eliot, Lionel Trilling and James Wood--each of whom occupies a distinct historical moment. It considers how these representative critics have constructed their public personae, the kinds of arguments they have used, and their core principles and philosophies. Spanning three hundred years of cultural history, The Critic in the Modern World considers the various ways in which literary critics have positioned themselves in relation to the modern tradition of descriptive criticism. In providing a lucid account of each critic's core principles and philosophies, it considers the role of the literary critic as a public figure, interpreting him as someone who is compelled to address the wider issues of individualism and the social implications of the democratising, secularising, liberalising forces of modernity".
