White Biotechnology

An entire branch of biotechnology, known as 'white biotechnology', is devoted to this. It uses living cells—from yeast, moulds, bacteria and plants—and enzymes to synthesize products that are easily degradable, require less energy and create less waste during their production. This is not a recent development: in fact, biotechnology has been contributing to industrial processes for some time.

For decades, bacterial enzymes have been used widely in food manufacturing and as active ingredients in washing powders to reduce the amount of artificial surfactants. Transgenic Escherichia coli are used to produce human insulin in large-scale fermentation tanks. Good book know all about Biotechnology

How to Get a PhD

This handbook is written for PhD students, future PhD students and supervisors. The book aims to help students become postgraduates (PhD students) and to help supervisors in their guidance of students. The book is divided into twelve chapters and is easily read. Chapters nine and twelve may seem less relevant to non-British readers.The book deals with several important issues regarding the postgraduate work.

For future PhD students this book is definitely relevant reading and in my opinion it should be mandatory reading for both students and their supervisors. The book could be the common foundation for a good student-supervisor relationship, the importance of which is emphasized several times in “How to get a PhD”.

Principles of Molecular Pathology

This is a very nice, concise review of the field of molecular pathology, a field that is still considered "new" because it requires training in several fields, including pathology, molecular methods, genetics, infectious disease, and tumor biology. The book provides readers with all of the relevant background in the first chapters so that specialists and nonspecialists alike can understand the later chapters. It can be read from cover to cover or used as a reference text on an "as-needed" basis. Considering the diversity of molecular pathology, the book is relatively short, 333 pages, but it provides a comprehensive review of the field. I particularly liked how each chapter highlighted all of the salient points of the subject material and then went on to illustrate many of the exceptions.click here to know more about the book by Helping Hands

Immunology Kuby

It's easy to read, easy to understand, very good graphics; Kuby is a very friendly book for new students, and for refreshing many concepts if you are very busy (and I bet you are!). I love it. But if you have more time available for reading, I would recommend Fundamental Immunology (Paul) and Cellular and Molecular Immunology by Abbas.
And try to keep up-to-date with new material on scientific magazines. See, in research you don't depend on books, that's only at the beginning or if you have to refresh some concepts. Once you have your knowledge, you will be reading papers on scientific magazines and less books. Many times, the concepts you have learned on books can change very fast. Science is a dynamic field, always changing.

Biotechnology: A Laboratory Course

This is a real "course", not just a number of experiments in a row to introduce techniques. The course takes you from soup to nuts in making a "biotechnology" product, instructing the student in the most important of molecular biology techniques along the way. Safety and record keeping are stressed. The student will gain technical knowledge and also will really see and understand how a product, in this course an enzyme, can be made from a cloned gene. The idea of teaching techniques on a continuum is really a great idea. Though the second edition is now a few years old, the methods are tried and true and haven't changed so don't let the date stop you. The writing is succinct and there are helpful hints for the instructor for getting the lab classroom set up, etc. I think this course would be appropriate for an advanced high school biotech class, a post-secondary technial school or college, or undergrad college class. I highly reccommend this book.

Raymond Ruddon's- Cancer Biology book

Raymond Ruddon's book may be ten years past publication, but it is the first book I would recommend for a person seeking a reliable overview of the basic nature of cancer and cancer research. Ruddon gives an easily readable account of the history of cancer biology, emphasising the mechanics and characteristics of many forms of cancer and cancerous stages.The clarity of his discussion engages the reader. I wish that he would be willing to rewrite a new edition, because I know of no other single volume that describes the issues of cancer research so well and cogently for the student and interested layperson.
