A week has passed since Agnes crawled through a portal in a diner's freezer into another dimension and was briefly turned into a meerkat. Her friend Isaac doesn't believe her, so they venture back to the Crispy Biscuit. In Paragon, Agnes transforms into a vervet monkey and Isaac is an African gray parrot. But the duo's fun is interrupted by a stinky creature's cries. Can they avoid the boomslang, or will they get tangled up in helping the creature back to its burrow? Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Calico is an imprint of Magic Wagon, a division of ABDO.

In this New York Times bestseller and longlist nominee for the National Book Award, “our greatest living chronicler of the natural world” (The New York Times), David Quammen explains how recent discoveries in molecular biology affect our understanding of evolution and life’s history. In the mid-1970s, scientists began using DNA sequences to reexamine the history of all life. Perhaps the most startling discovery to come out of this new field—the study of life’s diversity and relatedness at the molecular level—is horizontal gene transfer (HGT), or the movement of genes across species lines. It turns out that HGT has been widespread and important; we now know that roughly eight percent of the human genome arrived sideways by viral infection—a type of HGT. In The Tangled Tree, “the grandest tale in biology….David Quammen presents the science—and the scientists involved—with patience, candor, and flair” (Nature). We learn about the major players, such as Carl Woese, the most important little-known biologist of the twentieth century; Lynn Margulis, the notorious maverick whose wild ideas about “mosaic” creatures proved to be true; and Tsutomu Wantanabe, who discovered that the scourge of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a direct result of horizontal gene transfer, bringing the deep study of genome histories to bear on a global crisis in public health. “David Quammen proves to be an immensely well-informed guide to a complex story” (The Wall Street Journal). In The Tangled Tree, he explains how molecular studies of evolution have brought startling recognitions about the tangled tree of life—including where we humans fit upon it. Thanks to new technologies, we now have the ability to alter even our genetic composition—through sideways insertions, as nature has long been doing. “The Tangled Tree is a source of wonder….Quammen has written a deep and daring intellectual adventure” (The Boston Globe).

Professional electronic edition, and student eBook edition (freely installable PDF with navigational links), available from diestel-graph-theory.com This standard textbook of modern graph theory, now in its sixth edition, combines the authority of a classic with the engaging freshness of style that is the hallmark of active mathematics. It covers the core material of the subject with concise yet reliably complete proofs, while offering glimpses of more advanced methods in each field by one or two deeper results, again with proofs given in full detail. The book can be used as a reliable text for an introductory course, as a graduate text, and for self-study. New in this 6th edition: Two new sections on how to apply the regularity lemma: counting lemma, removal lemma, and Szemerédi's theorem. New chapter section on chi-boundedness. Gallai's A-paths theorem. New or substantially simplified proofs of: - Lovász's perfect graph theorem - Seymour's 6-flow theorem - Turán's theorem - Tutte's theorem about flow polynomials - the Chvátal-Erdös theorem on Hamilton cycles - the tree-of-tangles theorem for graph minors (two new proofs, one canonical) - the 5-colour theorem Several new proofs of classical theorems. Many new exercises. From the reviews: “This outstanding book cannot be substituted with any other book on the present textbook market. It has every chance of becoming the standard textbook for graph theory.” Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum "Deep, clear, wonderful. This is a serious book about the heart of graph theory. It has depth and integrity." Persi Diaconis & Ron Graham, SIAM Review “The book has received a very enthusiastic reception, which it amply deserves. A masterly elucidation of modern graph theory.” Bulletin of the Institute of Combinatorics and its Applications “Succeeds dramatically… a hell of a good book.” MAA Reviews “A highlight of the book is what is by far the best account in print of the Seymour-Robertson theory of graph minors.” Mathematika “…like listening to someone explain mathematics.” Bulletin of the AMS
