Ebook "Reaction kinetics: Exercises, programs and theorems (Mathematica for deterministic and stochastic kinetics)" is aimed at chemists, engineers, and mathematicians interested in the interdisciplinary field of formal reaction kinetics, an important subfield of mathematical chemistry. Reaction kinetics studies the evolution of reacting species; it can predict time-dependent and stationary behavior, and it can provide a framework for collecting data economically.

Ebook "The evolution of social communication in primates: A multidisciplinary approach (Interdisciplinary evolution research, Volume 1)" focus of the third part is on how these various types of communicative behavior possibly evolved and how they can be understood as evolutionary precursors to human language. Leading scholars analyze how both manual and vocal gestures gave way to mimetic and imitational protolanguage and how the latter possibly transitioned into human language.

Ebook "Anolis lizards of the Caribbean: Ecology, evolution, and plate tectonics" are ideally suited for the study of evolutionary ecology. Offering fascinating insights into the more than 150 species dispersed throughout the Caribbean islands, Jonathan Roughgarden details the differences between species in a wide range of behavioral and physical characteristics, including foraging behaviors, body size, and habitat use, resulting from evolutionary divergences concurrent with the plate-tectonic origins of the region.

In ebook "Plant-environment interactions: From sensory plant biology to active plant behavior" documents a paradigm shift that is currently underway in the plant sciences. In the last two or three decades, plants have been unmasked as being very sensitive organisms that monitor and integrate large numbers of abiotic and biotic parameters from their environment. The obvious conservation that occurs throughout evolution means that action potentials provide both plants and animals with evolutionary advantages that are crucial to their adaptive behavior and survival.

Ebook "Origins of altruism and cooperation" is about the evolution and nature of cooperation and altruism in social-living animals, focusing especially on non-human primates and on humans. The anthropological, primatological, paleontological, behavioral, neurobiological, and psychological evidence provided in this book gives a more optimistic view of human nature than the more popular, conventional view of humans being naturally and basically aggressive and warlike.
