Steroids are among the most widely prescribed drugs for humans, and steroid signaling pathways are present in vertebrates, plants, insects and fungi, presenting new avenues for biotechnological intervention. Genetics of Steroid Biosynthesis and Function focuses on the genetic and cellular aspects of mammalian steroid hormones with particular attention to inherited gene lesions. With contributions from a panel of international experts, this volume provides an accessible, up-to-date overview of modern steroid biology for both the professional and novice researcher alike.

Curved Twistor Spaces is the fourth in a series of books compiling articles from Twistor Newsletter-an informal journal published periodically by the research group of Roger Penrose. Motivated both by questions in differential geometry and by the search for a twistor correspondence for general Ricci-flat space times, this volume explores deformed twistor spaces and their applications. Articles from leading researchers are written in an easy-to-read style and arranged in four chapters, each supplemented by a detailed introduction. Collectively, they trace the development of the twistor programme over the last 15 years and provide an overview of its current status.
