Transforming University Biochemistry Teaching Using Collaborative Learning and Technology (Hardback - 8 Apr 2010)

Current Concepts in Forensic Entomology (Hardback - 4 Feb 2010)

With respect to the possible outlining of new models of the process of knowledge construction, we are really faced, at the moment, with the appearance of a new frontier: a frontier that appears strictly linked to the emergence of a conceptual revolution at the level of the analysis of that peculiar entanglement of complexity, information, causality, meaning, emergence, teleology and intentionality that...
