The Mysterious World of the Human Genome
The Mysterious World of the Human Genome
Frank Ryan
¥81.03
How could a relatively simple chemical code give rise to the complexity of a human being? How could our human genome have evolved? And how does it actually work? Over the past 50 years we have deciphered the inner workings of the human genome. From the basic structure of DNA through to the complete sequence of the code, what first appeared to be simple is actually a complex and beautiful three-dimensional world that makes each of us who we are. In The Mysterious World of the Human Genome acclaimed science writer Frank Ryan leads us through the most exciting scientific discoveries of the last 50 years, revealing how this science has unlocked the cure of some genetic diseases, developed the use of DNA in forensic science and paternity testing, helped us trace our ancestors and provided a definitive map for the movement of humans out of Africa. This scientific journey has had a profound impact on our understanding of the evolution of life itself, through the role of the most ancient of organisms in our basic biology all the way to the revelation that our most recent ancestor, Homo neanderthalensis, lives on in many of us. In the ever more complicated world of the human genome, this is the first book to explain how the human genome actually works as a whole and how that knowledge will have a profound effect on our understanding of where we have come from and where we are likely to be going in the future.

Falling Upwards:How We Took to the Air
Falling Upwards:How We Took to the Air
Richard Holmes
¥84.66
Lose yourself in the clouds with bestselling and prize-winning biographer and science writer Richard Holmes in this glorious history of hot-air ballooning. Hot-air balloons have drifted through Richard Holmes’s work for many years. And now, in this heart-lifting book he tells the story of these ineffably romantic floating machines and the reckless invention of the adventurers who flew them. His subject is flight itself and the pioneer generation of rival aviators. Ballooning offered a new vision of the earth. The world pondered for the first time reliable weather prediction, observation of the stars from an aerial point of view and the exploration of remote continents. Those in previous centuries who dreamt of flight believed it would open up the secrets of heaven. In fact, as Richard Holmes shows, it revealed the secrets of the world beneath.
Killing Us Softly:The Sense and Nonsense of Alternative Medicine
Killing Us Softly:The Sense and Nonsense of Alternative Medicine
Dr Paul Offit
¥80.25
More people than ever are using alternative medicine. But, as expert Dr Paul Offit explains, these untested therapies are ineffective, expensive and even deadly. Now that homeopathic remedies are offered on the Nhs, it's clear that various therapies once considered alternative or complementary, have become mainstream - prescribed to burn fat, shrink prostates, alleviate colds, reduce stress, eliminate pain and prevent cancer. At the same time, uptake of effective vaccines such as Mmr has fallen - a disturbing trend which, in the case of the Mmr, has lead to a sharp rise in the number of measles cases. In 'Killing Us Softly' Paul Offit reveals, alternative medicine - an unregulated industry under no obligation to prove its claims or admit its risks - can actually be very harmful. In 'Killing Us Softly' he exposes how: * Homeopathic asthma preparations and bogus cancer cures have replaced life-saving medicines. * Acupuncture needles have pierced hearts, lungs, and livers and transmitted viruses, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C and Hiv. * Chiropractic manipulations have torn arteries. * Megavitamins increase the risk of cancer and heart disease-a fact well known to scientists but virtually unknown to the public. Using real-life case histories to back his argument, Dr Offit shows us why any medical treatment - alternative or conventional - must be properly evaluated. 'There's no such thing as alternative medicine. There's only medicine that works and medicine that doesn't.'

The Inventions, Researches and Writings of Nikola Tesla: Complete & Illustrated
Thomas Commerford Martin
¥28.61
The electrical problems of the present day lie largely in the economical transmission of power and in the radical improvement of the means and methods of illumination. To many workers and thinkers in the domain of electrical invention, the apparatus and devices that are familiar, appear cumbrous and wasteful, and subject to severe limitations. They believe that the principles of current generation must be changed, the area of current supply be enlarged, and the appliances used by the consumer be at once cheapened and simplified. The brilliant successes of the past justify them in every expectancy of still more generous fruition.??The present volume is a simple record of the pioneer work done in such departments up to date, by Mr. Nikola Tesla, in whom the world has already recognized one of the foremost of modern electrical in-vestigators and inventors. No attempt whatever has been made here to emphasize the importance of his researches and discoveries. ??Great ideas and real inventions win their own way, determining their own place by intrinsic merit. But with the conviction that Mr. Tesla is blazing a path that electrical development must follow for many years to come, the compiler has endeavored to bring together all that bears the impress of Mr. Tesla's genius, and is worthy of preservation. Aside from its value as showing the scope of his inventions, this volume may be of service as indicating the range of his thought. There is intellectual profit in studying the push and play of a vigorous and original mind.?

Medicina modern? a f?cut progrese imense. Cu toate acestea, nu a reu?it s? ?nving? cancerul, boala nemiloas? care face milioane de victime ?n fiecare an, la nivel mondial. ?i totu?i, dr. Max Gerson (1881-1959) ne-a oferit o raz? de speran??, prin terapia alternativ? care ?i poart? numele. ?n 1958, el a fost primul medic din lume care a spus despre cancer c? ar fi cauzat de mai mul?i factori independen?i. Dintre cei 49 de astfel de factori identifica?i p?n? ?n prezent (deficien?ele de nutri?ie, radia?iile de diverse tipuri, ingerarea aditivilor alimentari, stresul cronic, consumul de tutun ?i de alcool etc.), ?n mod surprinz?tor, alimentele toxice fac cel mai mare r?u. Peste 70% dintre tumorile maligne sunt cauzate, ?ntr-un fel sau altul, de ceea ce m?nc?m. Tocmai de aceea, Terapia Gerson are la baz? o diet? care include fructe ?i legume proaspete, cultivate organic, ?i 13 pahare de sucuri proaspete pe zi, la intervale fixe. Dup? 70 de ani de la apari?ia terapiei, timp ?n care mii de pacien?i au fost trata?i cu succes, fiica dr. Gerson, Charlotte, ea ?ns??i terapeut ?n medicina alternativ?, ?mpreun? cu dr. Morton Walker ofer? ?i mai multe informa?ii despre efectele puternice de vindecare ale fructelor ?i legumelor organice. Afl?: cum s? ?nvingi cancerul schimb?nd chimia organismului;cum s? prepari sucuri prin tehnici speciale pentru a le maximiza puterea de vindecare;cum s? scapi de alergii, obezitate, hipertensiune, SIDA, lupus ?i alte boli;ce suplimente ?nt?resc sistemul imunitar. Terapia Gerson – cea mai bun? metod? pentru oricine a spus vreodat? ?Vreau s? m? fac bine. Ar?ta-mi cum“ A func?ionat ?i pentru al?ii, va func?iona ?i pentru tine! ?nvinge boala cu ajutorul Terapiei Gerson!
