Working with Sources by University Diana Hacker

This book starts out by presenting the evidence for hydrophilic interactions in biochemical processes and then goes on to describe the applications of the hydrophilic interactions in these processes, specifically protein folding, protein association, self assembly and molecular recognition.

In Part I of this series, it was shown that the role of the so-called hydrophobic effect in biochemical processes was over-exaggerated. On the other hand, both experimental data and theoretical arguments support the conclusion that the hydrophilic, rather than hydrophobic interactions are the more important effects. In this volume, the author focuses on the applications of the hydrophilic interactions in processes such as solubility of proteins, protein folding, self assembly and molecular recognition. Hydrophilic interactions provide a powerful and coherent explanation of some biochemical processes, which until recently, were not understood.

There are no other books of this kind. There are two books which deal with the role of hydrophobic effects (by C Tanford and A Ben-Naim), but these are quite obsolete.

Nancy Sommers, who has taught composition and directed composition programs for thirty years, now teaches writing and mentors new writing teachers at Harvard s Graduate School of Education. She led Harvard s Expository Writing Program for twenty years, directing the first-year writing program and establishing Harvard s WAC program. A two-time Braddock Award winner, Sommers is well known for her research and publications on student writing. Her articles Revision Strategies of Student and Experienced Writers and Responding to Student Writing are two of the most widely read and anthologized articles in the field of composition. Her recent work involves a longitudinal study of college writing to understand the role writing plays in undergraduate education. Sommers is the lead author on Hacker handbooks, all published by Bedford/St. Martin s, and is coauthor of Fields of Reading, Ninth Edition (2010).
