From Suns to Life: : A Chronological Approach to the History of Life on Earth
This review emerged from several interdisciplinary meetings and schools gathering a group of astronomers, geologists, biologists, and chemists, attempting to share their specialized knowledge around a common question: how did life emerge on Earth? Their ultimate goal was to provide some kind of answer as a prerequisite to an even more demanding question: is life universal? The main chapters of this review present the formation and evolution of the solar system (3); the building of a habitable planet (4); prebiotic chemistry, biochemistry, and the emergence of life (5); the environmental context of the early Earth (6); and the ancient fossil record and early evolution (7). The concluding chapter (9) provides the highlights of the review and presents the different points of view about the universality of life. Two pedagogical chapters are included; one on chronometers (2), another in the form of a "frieze" (8) which summarizes in graphical form the present state of knowledge about the chronology of the emergence of life on Earth, before the Cambrian explosion.

From Fossils to Astrobiology : Records of Life on Earth and Search for Extraterrestrial Biosignatures
From Fossils to Astrobiology reviews developments in paleontology and geobiology that relate to the rapidly-developing field of Astrobiology, the study of life in the Universe. Many traditional areas of scientific study, including astronomy, chemistry and planetary science, contribute to Astrobiology, but the study of the record of life on planet Earth is critical in guiding investigations in the rest of the cosmos. In this varied book, expert scientists from 15 countries present peer-reviewed, stimulating reviews of paleontological and astrobiological studies. The overviews of established and emerging techniques for studying modern and ancient microorganisms on Earth and beyond, will be valuable guides to evaluating biosignatures which could be found in the extraterrestrial surface or subsurface within the Solar System and beyond.

Fractures du genou = Knee fractures
Provides a comprehensive yet practical overview of the management of knee fractures and their complications. The editorial team comprises specialists from France, Switzerland, Belgium, the United States, and Ireland, many of whom are members of the AO group. Imaging strategies, assessment, classification, and anatomical variations are reviewed for each anatomical location. All therapeutic approaches are discussed without exception: conventional implants, intramedullary nailing, minimally invasive techniques, including the role of external fixation, and newer technologies such as the LISS. These approaches are subjected to critical analysis to identify the best options based on the indications and individual circumstances. The patellar apparatus is addressed in its functional unity. Postoperative management, influenced by functional prognosis, is also covered, as is the management of malunion, stiffness, and other complications. Finally, very specific problems are discussed, such as pediatric injuries, patellectomies, periprosthetic fractures, often complex projectile injuries, the role of immediate arthroplasty and massive grafts, but also associated injuries which sometimes have a heavy impact on the final prognosis.
