Reviews “The postgenomic and transcriptomic era has heralded a fundamental change in our understanding of (neuro)endocrinology of the invertebrates and our advances in understanding many of the diverse and beautifully executed integrative physiologies that are hormonally controlled in diverse phyla. These volumes bring together a collection of reviews from world-leading biologists in an easily accessible and exciting format. Current research has been given prominence, which is excellent. The endocrinology of selected phyla, and those of model genetically tractable organisms are discussed in both historical and contemporary perspectives, highlighting the emerging scenario of the evolution of related neuropeptide families, which have undergone a quite remarkable diversification of function. The first volume deals with the neuroendocrinology of selected protostome and deuterostome phyla, whilst the second deals exclusively with endocrinology and neuroendocrinology of the arthropods—this arrangement works well! Each chapter concludes with a “perspective” that highlights potentially interesting and important future research areas. These two volumes will appeal to a wide audience, from advanced graduate and postgraduate students, who will benefit from the clear and well-structured content, to advanced endocrinologists and neuroscientists interested in current research.” —Simon G. Webster, Professor, School of Natural Sciences, Bangor University, UK “This comprehensive two-volume collection highlights recent progress in the neuroendocrinology of invertebrate organisms, providing a strong foundation for science students as well as academic and government researchers. Professors Saleuddin, Lange, and Orchard have done a superb job in securing extensive contributions from world leaders in the field whose research specializes on the neuroendocrinology of invertebrate model organisms. This set provides an excellent reference text useful for general readers interested in learning about invertebrate neuroendocrinology as well as for advanced scientists working in this specific research realm. A full volume each is dedicated to arthropods and non-arthropod species delivering wide ranging insights and perspectives for comparative endocrinologists and other researchers.” — Jean-Paul V. Paluzzi, Associate Professor, Department of Biology, York University, Canada Advances in Invertebrate (Neuro)Endocrinology: A Collection of Reviews in the Post-Genomic Era (2-volume set) provides an informative series of reviews from expert scientists who are at the forefront of their research into the endocrinology of invertebrates. These two volumes are timely and appropriate in this post-genomic era because of the rapid pace of change brought about by genome projects, functional genomics, and genetics (omics technologies). The volumes show the rich history and strong tradition of cutting-edge research using invertebrates that has opened up our broader understanding of comparative endocrinology and the evolution of regulatory pathways and systems. These reviews set the scene and context for this exciting new era of understanding that has come from this post-genomic revolution.

AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press.
