With that, it will contribute to improving the quality, continuity and transparency of the education in environmental toxicology. We also want to make sure that fundamental insights on fate and effects of chemicals gained in the past are combined with recent approaches of effect assessment and molecular analysis of mechanisms causing toxicity. The book consists of six chapters, with each chapter being divided into several sub-chapters to enable covering all aspects relevant to the topic. All chapters are designed in a modular way, which each module having clear training goals and being flagged with a number of keywords. Most modules have an average length of 1000-2000 words, a limited number of references, and 3-5 figures and/or tables. A few modules are enlighted with short clips, animations or movies to allow better illustration of the theory. The introduction chapter of the book, for instance, contains a short interview with two key experts reflecting on the development of the field over the past 30 years. The book contains tools for self-study and training, like a (limited) number of questions at the end of each module. For the future we foresee the addition of separate exercises and other tools that may help the student in understanding the theory.8282022-12-06T21:41:38Z2024-03-11T13:29:05ZTechnical Writing and Simple Statistics : for laboratory classes<img alt="Read more about Technical Writing and Simple Statistics : for laboratory classes" title="Technical Writing and Simple Statistics : for laboratory classes cover image" class="cover " width="1700" height="2200" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDMzNSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--4bd08854e1aa7079faa722cb6896ecf651953f2f/20221116%20TRAILS_Wettstein_Cover.jpg" />This upper division resource focuses on how to communicate results through technical writing, use Excel to perform simple statistics, and create professional charts/documents.

It is the goal of this textbook to provide foundational knowledge to begin building your biotechnology toolkit and enter an exciting career of making a difference through biotechnology. This textbook first explores the fundamentals of laboratory science and biotechnology. Unit 1 begins with a dive into the foundation of biology and chemistry by asking what is life and what are the molecules of life? The end of the unit offers a primer into laboratory science; preparing solutions and operating basic lab equipment. Unit 2 brings readers through a vital tool of biomanufacturing, understanding the growth and control of microbes. Many biotechnology products are made by harnessing the work of microbes, and this unit explores this invisible and intriguing world of microorganisms. The final unit, molecular biotechnology, offers a more in-depth look at how biological molecules such as DNA and protein are manipulated into creating useful products.8012020-01-07T00:45:49Z2023-08-31T14:10:14ZSoils Laboratory Manual - K-State Edition<img alt="Read more about Soils Laboratory Manual - K-State Edition" title="Soils Laboratory Manual - K-State Edition cover image" class="cover " width="571" height="739" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NzYwLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--19cd3c48ac34121115bf597eb20fa8006b28fc32/978-1-944548-09-4.png" />The Soils Laboratory Manual, K-State Edition is designed for students in undergraduate, introductory soil science courses, and highlights the many aspects of soil science, including: soil genesis and classification, soil physical properties, soil-water interaction, soil biology, soil chemistry, and soil fertility. The lab manual includes 15 different laboratories, each one starting with an introduction and pre-lab assignment, followed by in-lab activities, and complimented by post-lab assignment. In-lab activities involve field trips, experiments, observation stations, or problem sets. Post-lab assignments include online quizzes, problem sets, or laboratory summary reports.7112019-05-16T00:11:37Z2024-01-22T14:52:12ZAn Introduction to Nutrition<img alt="Read more about An Introduction to Nutrition" title="An Introduction to Nutrition cover image" class="cover " width="652" height="842" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NjU3LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--dabaad981bc79df5618464bbec9fbdc6100f76b1/0000IntrodNut.png" />Welcome to Essentials of Nutrition: A Functional Approach! This book is written for students who are not majoring in nutrition, but want to learn about the fundamental aspects of nutrition and how it applies to their own lives. We have written this book with the assumption that you have little or no prior knowledge of college level chemistry, biology, or physiology. But that does not mean it’s not scientific! Nutrition is a science-based discipline, so all the material included is backed up by rigorous scientific research, but it is presented in a clear, easy-to-understand fashion without requiring a background in science.6572019-01-24T19:27:15Z2024-01-22T14:52:02ZKansas State University Human Nutrition Flexbook<img alt="Read more about Kansas State University Human Nutrition Flexbook" title="Kansas State University Human Nutrition Flexbook cover image" class="cover " width="404" height="641" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NTk3LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--4e7aaa40fd46344a91baab07f1ca4cf4efddd891/9781944548117.png" />The Kansas State University Human Nutrition (FNDH 400) Flexbook is a textbook for students taking Kansas State University FNDH 400 course.FNDH 400 is a 3-hour, intermediate-level, human nutrition course at Kansas State University take primarily by sophomores and juniors because it has prerequisites of a college biology and chemistry courses.6222018-10-07T15:32:01Z2024-01-29T14:13:18ZHuman Nutrition - 2020 Edition<img alt="Read more about Human Nutrition - 2020 Edition" title="Human Nutrition - 2020 Edition cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="453" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTg4MSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--fa42e1ea5430695c914b7ee5a937c409d80eda6a/uh-oer-cover-human-nutrition2020_v2-768x995-1-350x453.png" />This textbook serves as an introduction to nutrition for undergraduate students and is the OER textbook for the FSHN 185 The Science of Human Nutrition course at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa.

At the very least, you would think that if I was going to write a textbook, I should write one in an area that really needs one instead of a subject that already has multiple excellent and definitive books. So, why write this book, then? First, it's a course that I have enjoyed teaching for many years, so I am very familiar with what a student really needs to take away from this class within the time constraints of a semester. Second, because it is a course that many students take, there is a greater opportunity to make an impact on more students' pocketbooks than if I were to start off writing a book for a highly specialized upper- level course. And finally, it was fun to research and write, and can be revised easily for inclusion as part of our next textbook, High School Biology.
