Download or read book The Bion Experiments on the Origins of Life written by Wilhelm Reich and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2013-07-02 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bion Experiments, published in a limited German edition in 1938 and now available in English for the first time, represents a cornerstone in Reich's scientific development. The work documents a series of experiments conducted in Oslo in 1936-37 in which Reich applied the formula of tension?charge?discharge?relaxation, derived from his research on the function of the orgasm, to the microscopic biological world, thereby opening a route to an understanding of the origin of life. This work is divided into two parts: the first, a detailed report on the experiments; the second, Reich's conclusions and an exposition of his research method. The Bion Experiments provides a unique insight into Reich's scientific method, and makes available the experimental material essential to understanding his later work with cancer and orgone biophysics.

Book Synopsis Wilhelm Reich, Biologist by : James E. Strick
Download or read book Wilhelm Reich, Biologist written by James E. Strick and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychoanalyst, political theorist, pioneer of body therapies, prophet of the sexual revolution—all fitting titles, but Wilhelm Reich has never been recognized as a serious laboratory scientist, despite his experimentation with bioelectricity and unicellular organisms. Wilhelm Reich, Biologist is an eye-opening reappraisal of one of twentieth-century science’s most controversial figures—perhaps the only writer whose scientific works were burned by both the Nazis and the U.S. government. Refuting allegations of “pseudoscience” that have long dogged Reich’s research, James Strick argues that Reich’s lab experiments in the mid-1930s represented the cutting edge of light microscopy and time-lapse micro-cinematography and deserve to be taken seriously as legitimate scientific contributions. Trained in medicine and a student of Sigmund Freud, Reich took to the laboratory to determine if Freud’s concept of libido was quantitatively measurable. His electrophysiological experiments led to his “discovery” of microscopic vesicles (he called them “bions”), which Reich hypothesized were instrumental in originating life from nonliving matter. Studying Reich’s laboratory notes from recently opened archives, Strick presents a detailed account of the bion experiments, tracing how Reich eventually concluded he had discovered an unknown type of biological radiation he called “orgone.” The bion experiments were foundational to Reich’s theory of cancer and later investigations of orgone energy. Reich’s experimental findings and interpretations were considered discredited, but not because of shoddy lab technique, as has often been claimed. Scientific opposition to Reich’s experiments, Strick contends, grew out of resistance to his unorthodox sexual theories and his Marxist political leanings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acorns delineates the future of humanity as a reunification of intellect with the Deep Self. Having chosen to focus upon ego (established securely by the time of Christ), much more beta brain wave development will destroy our species and others, which process has already begun. We create our own realities through beliefs, intents and desires and we were in and out of probabilities constantly. Feelings follow beliefs, not the other way around.

Book Synopsis Earth, Life, and System by : Bruce Clarke
Download or read book Earth, Life, and System written by Bruce Clarke and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A strikingly original . . . collection of essays, which places the work and broad intellectual interests of Lynne Margulis in a variety of contexts.” —Stacy Alaimo, author of Exposed: Environmental Politics and Pleasures in Posthuman Times Exploring the broad implications of evolutionary theorist Lynn Margulis’s work, this collection brings together specialists across a range of disciplines, from paleontology, molecular biology, evolutionary theory, and geobiology to developmental systems theory, archaeology, history of science, cultural science studies, and literature and science. Addressing the multiple themes that animated Margulis’s science, the essays within take up, variously, astrobiology and the origin of life, ecology and symbiosis from the microbial to the planetary scale, the coupled interactions of earthly environments and evolving life in Gaia theory and earth system science, and the connections of these newer scientific ideas to cultural and creative productions. “Altogether, Earth, Life, and System offers a series of often fascinating, always stimulating . . . invariably enriching essays in an incisive and unruly science and its existential repercussions. It is a fitting tribute to one of modern science’s most generative and productive independent spirits, a gadfly like Socrates whose ultimate concern was to ensure that enquiry and debate were never stifled by received opinion and ‘normal’ expectations.” —The British Society for Literature and Science “A vital contribution to interdisciplinary knowledge about life, evolution, and the planetary imaginary.” —Tyler Volk, award-winning author of Quarks to Culture “Contributors include biologists, philosophers, historians, and even Margulis’s son, a science writer who sets the tone for the rest of the text in an intimate first chapter about his mother. Clarke’s sought-after interdisciplinarity shines in the finished product.” —Isis Review

Book Synopsis Evolution and the Spontaneous Generation Debate by : H. Charlton Bastian
Download or read book Evolution and the Spontaneous Generation Debate written by H. Charlton Bastian and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2001-04-15 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Carefully selected by James Strick, this comprehensive collection of primary source materials resurrects the forgotten man of evolutionary theory, Henry Charlton Bastian, and opens a new window on controversies which divided the ranks of evolutionary naturalists. The hostile reaction of Thomas Henry Huxley and his allies to Bastian's challenge - that they accept the theory of spontaneous generation and the materialism connected with it - shows just how far they were willing to go to sanitize evolutionary theory for public consumption while maintaining their own respectability. Strick's collection is a vivid reminder of the volatile politics of evolution and the importance of not losing sight of "the losers" in scientific controversy.' - Bernard Lightman 'Strick garners all the backbiting documents to show how crucial aspects of the Darwinian orthodoxy were made. The knock-down fight in the 1870s between Huxley and Tyndall, and the brilliant pathology professor Henry Bastian, was over the inclusion of spontaneous generation. Bastian's initial success in justifying it and picking up rival medical support reveals that Huxley's evolutionary view was not an inevitable outcome. The sparring in Strick's volumes proves that it took all of Huxley's and Tyndall's scientific, rhetorical and darker skills to establish their version of Darwinism.' - Adrian Desmond 'An invaluable resource for the understanding of the controversies on the origin of life on earth.' - Dr Iris Fry 'Everybody knows that life's creation was the last redoubt of natural theology in the nineteenth century and spontaneous generation the atheists' siege-weapon for destroying it. Strick's authoritative collection breaks new ground by showing how unbelievers themselves came to blows over the origin of life - even Darwin's followers. Their contest for the Victorian moral heights is a case study of the politics of science and a timely reminder that arguments among 'public scientists' are never simply about "the facts".' - Dr James Moore Evolution and the Spontaneous Generation Debate collects the rare primary works on the origin of life by Henry Charlton Bastian (1837--1915), one of the brightest young rising Darwinian stars of the time. It contains all Bastian's key works on this subject, from his very first in 1871, The Modes of Origin of Lowest Organisms, through to one of his last, The Evolution of Life in 1907. The set also includes contemporary reviews and responses to Bastian's work which illustrate how emotive this theory was during the 1870s and why the likes of T. H. Huxley and John Tyndall went to extraordinarily great lengths to oppose Bastian. In the first two decades after the publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species (1859), a lively, often heated debate broke out about what the implications of Darwin's theory were for understanding the origin of life from non-living matter. Nowhere was the debate more acrimonious than among the Darwinians themselves. The response to Bastian's work was uniformly negative in Christian religious circles, and created a tremendous response, both negative and positive, from the Darwinians. One faction, including medical doctors and scientific journals, strongly supported Bastian's ideas, another, including Huxley, Tyndall and the powerful X Club, fiercely attacked Bastian, eventually declaring him vanquished by 1878. This set contains examples of both reactions, including Huxley's famous 'Biogenesis and Abiogenesis' address. This set is crucial to understanding the genesis of today's ideas about the origin of life. Much of the broad outlines of modern Darwinian ideas took shape in the debate over Bastian's work and have remained with us since. Featuring an introduction by James Strick, Assistant Professor of Biology and Society, Arizona State University, Evolution and the Spontaneous Generation Debate will amply reward study by scientists, physicians, historians of science, and all in the modern scientific world, who wish to better understand public controversy in science. --contains important writings by nineteenth-century scientists on the spontaneous generation debate --important case study of a Victorian debate on evolution --crucial to understanding the development of the origin of life theory in the nineteenth century
Book Synopsis Vitalism and the Scientific Image in Post-Enlightenment Life Science, 1800-2010 by : Sebastian Normandin
Download or read book Vitalism and the Scientific Image in Post-Enlightenment Life Science, 1800-2010 written by Sebastian Normandin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-15 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vitalism is understood as impacting the history of the life sciences, medicine and philosophy, representing an epistemological challenge to the dominance of mechanism over the last 200 years, and partly revived with organicism in early theoretical biology. The contributions in this volume portray the history of vitalism from the end of the Enlightenment to the modern day, suggesting some reassessment of what it means both historically and conceptually. As such it includes a wide range of material, employing both historical and philosophical methodologies, and it is divided fairly evenly between 19th and 20th century historical treatments and more contemporary analysis. This volume presents a significant contribution to the current literature in the history and philosophy of science and the history of medicine.
Download or read book Parallel Universe written by Sonya Davies and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia in adolescence are insidious diseases, they steal hope perspective and time sadly the medical profession has a huge divergence of opinion on the illness the causes and the cure there just seems to be no definitive answers. The despair that this causes is deep and searing. This book is about one woman's fight to restore her daughter to health when diagnosed with these diseases. It charts the many professionals that the family saw to try to find a cure for their daughter. Many of the health professionals dismissed the illness believing it to be a disease of malingerers. This lack of understanding of this illness and its origins is one of the defining reasons for writing this book. Sufferers need to understand that they are not alone and that there is hope and that this illness is serious and is a real illness, it is not psychosomatic, it is not psychiatric it is a physical illness that has real symptoms and there is hope that you can put together some treatment options that may help them. Claudia was 13 years old when her body just seemed to run out of energy. It had been a gradual process but with the start of high school and all of the changes that happened at that time the key triggers of this horrific illness where masked. It wasn't until she passed out that the extent of the problem really became very very obvious. Sonya Davies is the author and she lives in Melbourne Victoria with her husband of 20 years Mark and her 4 children. A professional woman who has worked in Marketing for 35 years, she had a varied and interesting career, full of travel and many diverse and interesting experiences she always felt that she was very fortunate. She was not prepared when her 13 year old daughter Claudia passed out in her walk in ward robe and started to suffer seizures. Claudia spiralled very quickly over a period of 5 months into being seriously unwell, being unable to walk, wheel chair bound, using a toilet and shower stool and needing to be carried everywhere. She was 5 foot 5 and weighed 40 kilos. Sonya was beside herself, her life as she had known it stopped, she could not work, she could not leave her daughter alone. She was desperate to get help. She thought she could get some answers from Doctors or a specialist and they would tell her what to do. Imagine her shock when every test that they did came back normal while her daughter kept getting more and more unwell. That was when the family entered the parallel universe, this universe operates next to but separate from the real universe, this universe is inhabited by the chronically ill, looking for treatments for health issues for which medical professionals have no answers. She had never felt such despair or realised that such despair was possible for her. She is a positive, can do woman, every adversity has an answer you just have to connect the dots, her daughter was sick, she could not believe that she could not find a person to fix her. But every corner I turned, every doctor or health professional I took her to could not help, I got nowhere, I hit brick wall, after brick wall. My daughter was spiralling into very poor physical condition and suffering deep despair as she was constantly being told that she was hysterical and that this condition was psychosomatic. She is a very intelligent girl and does not have a hysterical bone in her body. So telling her it was all in her head, her body had turned on pain signals and would not turn them off just made her feel more and more inadequate, obviously she had done something to make this happen. The family saw over 50 health professionals all offering other similarly unhelpful suggestions. Well not suggestions, pronouncements, they all pronounced something and sent them home in agony with no help and no idea where to get help. Their daughter was unable to sleep, had muscles that got harder and tighter in her arms and
Book Synopsis Genesis - In The Beginning by : Joseph Seckbach
Download or read book Genesis - In The Beginning written by Joseph Seckbach and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-03-19 with total page 911 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genesis – In The Beginning deals with the origin and diversity of Life and early biological evolution and discusses the question of where (hot or cold sources) and when the beginning of Life took place. Among the sections are chapters dealing with prebiotic chemical processes and considering self-replication of polymers in mineral habitats. One chapter is dedicated to the photobiological regime on early Earth and the emergence of Life. This volume covers the role of symmetry, information and order (homochrial biomolecules) in the beginning of Life. The models of protocells and the genetic code with gene transfer are important topics in this volume. Three chapters discuss the Panspermia hypothesis (to answer “Are we from outer Space?”). Other chapters cover the Astrobiological aspects of Life in the Universe in extraterrestrial Planets of the Solar System and deal with cometary hydrosphere (and its connection to Earth). We conclude with the history and frontiers of Astrobiogy.
