There have been substantial developments in the methodologies available for the non-destructive and non-invasive measurement of body composition in animals. By bringing together in a single volume a mix of traditional and well-established analytical methods with more modern techniques, Body Composition Analysis: A Handbook of Non-destructive Methods provides a theoretical overview of different methodologies combined with practical advice on the use of these techniques. Methods covered include the use of destructive methods of analysis, body condition indices, isotope and gas dilution methods, total body electrical conductivity, bio-impedance analysis, ultrasound scanning and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Aimed at active research workers from advanced undergraduate level upwards, this book will be of particular interest to those working in the fields of animal ecology, conservation biology, animal nutrition and physiology.

AOAC INTERNATIONAL has been publishing a robust set of methods for analytical scientists since 1884. Scientists from around the globe contribute their expertise to ensure the content remains reliable in terms of standards development, method development, and the systematic evaluation andreview of methods. As a result, the Official Methods of Analysis of AOAC INTERNATIONAL is the most comprehensive collection of chemical and microbiological methods available in the world. Now in its twenty-second edition, this publication continues to be the most extensive and reliable collection ofchemical and microbiological methods and consensus standards. Many methods within the compendium have notation indicating their adoption as harmonized international reference methods by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the International Dairy Federation (IDF), the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), and the CodexAlimentarius Commission. This new edition includes

Ida Freund (1863–1914) was a chemist and educationalist who is most commonly remembered as the first female chemistry lecturer in the United Kingdom. Originally published in 1920, this book consists of a series of illustrative experiments, derived from the material collected in Freund's notebooks and students' records during her time at Newnham College, Cambridge. Out of an intended twenty chapters, ten were completed at the time of her death in May 1914. These chapters were left almost ready for press and only minor editorial changes were made prior to publication. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Freund, chemistry and the history of science.

Despite an astonishing 100 million-fold range in adult body mass from bumblebee bat to blue whale, all mammals are formed of the same kinds of molecules, cells, tissues and organs and to the same overall body plan. A scaling approach investigates the principles of mammal design by examining the ways in which mammals of diverse size and taxonomy are quantitatively comparable. This book presents an extensive reanalysis of scaling data collected over a quarter of a century, including many rarely or never-cited sources. The result is an unparalleled contribution to understanding scaling in mammals, addressing a uniquely extensive range of mammal attributes and using substantially larger and more rigorously screened samples than in any prior works. An invaluable resource for all those interested in the 'design' of mammals, this is an ideal resource for postgraduates and researchers in a range of fields from comparative physiology to ecology.
