Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Akasha is a precocious young girl with dreams of motherhood. She lives in a fantastical world where most of the oceans circulate in the aquamarine sky waters. Before she was born, the Helios, a tribe of angels from the sun, came to Earth to deliver the Surge, the next step in the evolution of an embryonic human race. Instead they spawned a race of hybrids and infected humanity with a hybrid seed. Horque manifests on Earth with another tribe of angels, the Solarii, to rescue the genetic mix-up and release the Surge. Akasha embarks on a journey from maiden to mother and from apprentice to priestess then has a premonition that a great flood is imminent. All three races – humans, hybrids and Solarii – face extinction. With their world in crisis, Akasha and Horque meet, and a sublime love flashes between them. Is this a cause of hope for humanity and the Solarii? Or will the hybrids destroy them both? Will anyone survive the killing waters of the coming apocalypse?
Book Synopsis Telling Genes by : Alexandra Minna Stern
Download or read book Telling Genes written by Alexandra Minna Stern and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of contemporary genetic counseling, including its medical, personal, and ethical dimensions. Winner of the CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title of the Choice ACRL For sixty years genetic counselors have served as the messengers of important information about the risks, realities, and perceptions of genetic conditions. More than 2,500 certified genetic counselors in the United States work in clinics, community and teaching hospitals, public health departments, private biotech companies, and universities. Telling Genes considers the purpose of genetic counseling for twenty-first century families and society and places the field into its historical context. Genetic counselors educate physicians, scientific researchers, and prospective parents about the role of genetics in inherited disease. They are responsible for reliably translating test results and technical data for a diverse clientele, using scientific acumen and human empathy to help people make informed decisions about genomic medicine. Alexandra Minna Stern traces the development of genetic counseling from the eugenics movement of the early twentieth century to the current era of human genomics. Drawing from archival records, patient files, and oral histories, Stern presents the fascinating story of the growth of genetic counseling practices, principles, and professionals.

Book Synopsis The Science of Human Perfection by : Nathaniel Comfort
Download or read book The Science of Human Perfection written by Nathaniel Comfort and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2012-09-25 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost daily we hear news stories, advertisements, and scientific reports that promise genetic medicine will make us live longer, enable doctors to identify and treat diseases before they start, and individualize our medical care. But surprisingly, a century ago eugenicists were making the same promises. The Science of Human Perfection traces the history of the promises of medical genetics and of the medical dimension of eugenics. The book also considers social and ethical issues that cast troublesome shadows over these fields./divDIV DIVKeeping his focus on America, science historian Nathaniel Comfort introduces the community of scientists, physicians, and public health workers who have contributed to the development of medical genetics from the nineteenth century to today. He argues that medical genetics is closely related to eugenics, and indeed the two cannot be fully understood separately. He also carefully examines how the desire to relieve suffering and to improve ourselves genetically, though noble, may be subverted. History makes clear that as patients and consumers we must take ownership of genetic medicine, using it intelligently, knowledgeably, and skeptically, lest pernicious interests trump our own./div
Book Synopsis The Old Dragon’s Head by : Justin Newland
Download or read book The Old Dragon’s Head written by Justin Newland and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constructed of stone and packed earth, the Great Wall of 10,000 li protects China’s northern borders from the threat of Mongol incursion. The wall is also home to a supernatural beast: the Old Dragon. The Old Dragon’s Head is the most easterly point of the wall, where it finally meets the sea. In every era, a Dragon Master is born. Endowed with the powers of Heaven, only he can summon the Old Dragon so long as he possess the dragon pearl. It’s the year 1400, and neither the Old Dragon, the dragon pearl, nor the Dragon Master, has been seen for twenty years. Bolin, a young man working on the Old Dragon’s Head, suffers visions of ghosts. Folk believe he has yin-yang eyes and other paranormal gifts.When Bolin’s fief lord, the Prince of Yan, rebels against his nephew, the Jianwen Emperor, a bitter war of succession ensues in which the Mongols hold the balance of power. While the victor might win the battle on earth, China’s Dragon Throne can only be earned with a Mandate from Heaven – and the support of the Old Dragon. Bolin embarks on a journey of self-discovery, mirroring Old China’s endeavour to come of age. When Bolin accepts his destiny as the Dragon Master, Heaven sends a third coming of age – for humanity itself. But are any of them ready for what is rising in the east?

Download or read book The Gene written by Hans-Jörg Rheinberger and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-01-26 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few concepts played a more important role in twentieth-century life sciences than that of the gene. Yet at this moment, the field of genetics is undergoing radical conceptual transformation, and some scientists are questioning the very usefulness of the concept of the gene, arguing instead for more systemic perspectives. The time could not be better, therefore, for Hans-Jörg Rheinberger and Staffan Müller-Wille's magisterial history of the concept of the gene. Though the gene has long been the central organizing theme of biology, both conceptually and as an object of study, Rheinberger and Müller-Wille conclude that we have never even had a universally accepted, stable definition of it. Rather, the concept has been in continual flux—a state that, they contend, is typical of historically important and productive scientific concepts. It is that very openness to change and manipulation, the authors argue, that made it so useful: its very mutability enabled it to be useful while the technologies and approaches used to study and theorize about it changed dramatically.
Book Synopsis Books do Furnish a Life by : Richard Dawkins

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A rich feast of his essays, reviews, forewords, squibs and conversations, in which talent and passion are married to deep knowledge.' Matt Ridley 'Enjoy the unfailing clarity of his thought and prose, as well as the grandeur of his vision of life on Earth.' - Mark Cocker, Spectator 'Richard Dawkins is a thunderously gifted science writer.' Sunday Times Including conversations with Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Steven Pinker, Matt Ridley and more, this is an essential guide to the most exciting ideas of our time and their proponents from our most brilliant science communicator. Books Do Furnish a Life is divided by theme, including celebrating nature, exploring humanity, and interrogating faith. For the first time, it brings together Richard Dawkins' forewords, afterwords and introductions to the work of some of the leading thinkers of our age - Carl Sagan, Lawrence Krauss, Jacob Bronowski, Lewis Wolpert - with a selection of his reviews to provide an electrifying celebration of science writing, both fiction and non-fiction. It is also a sparkling addition to Dawkins' own remarkable canon of work. Plenty of other scientists write well, but no one writes like Dawkins... here is Dawkins the teacher, the scholar, the polemicist, the joker, the aesthete, the poet, the satirist, the man of compassion as well as indignation, the slayer of superstition and, above all, the scientist. - Areo Magazine

Book Synopsis Making Genes, Making Waves by : Jon Beckwith
Download or read book Making Genes, Making Waves written by Jon Beckwith and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1969, Jon Beckwith and his colleagues succeeded in isolating a gene from the chromosome of a living organism. Announcing this startling achievement at a press conference, Beckwith took the opportunity to issue a public warning about the dangers of genetic engineering. Jon Beckwith's book, the story of a scientific life on the front line, traces one remarkable man's dual commitment to scientific research and social responsibility over the course of a career spanning most of the postwar history of genetics and molecular biology. A thoroughly engrossing memoir that recounts Beckwith's halting steps toward scientific triumphs--among them, the discovery of the genetic element that turns genes on--as well as his emergence as a world-class political activist, Making Genes, Making Waves is also a compelling history of the major controversies in genetics over the last thirty years. Presenting the science in easily understandable terms, Beckwith describes the dramatic changes that transformed biology between the late 1950s and our day, the growth of the radical science movement in the 1970s, and the personalities involved throughout. He brings to light the differing styles of scientists as well as the different ways in which science is presented within the scientific community and to the public at large. Ranging from the travails of Robert Oppenheimer and the atomic bomb to the Human Genome Project and recent "Science Wars," Beckwith's book provides a sweeping view of science and its social context in the latter half of the twentieth century.

Book Synopsis Lost Secrets of the Gods by : Michael Pye
Download or read book Lost Secrets of the Gods written by Michael Pye and published by Red Wheel/Weiser. This book was released on 2014-07-21 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are there 10,000-year-old secret societies that still exist today? Was there a race of giants that once inhabited the Americas? Did ancient Egypt and ancient China have heretofore undiscovered ties? Lost Secrets of the Gods delves into these ancient mysteries and many more in articles by some of the world’s most intrepid and knowledgeable researchers. The old paradigms of history are being radically transformed as we discover more evidence of little-known cultures and what they achieved. Many ancient cultures spoke and wrote of visitors that gave them knowledge and helped shape their societies. Who were they, and where did they come from? We now know that many ancient cultures had advanced knowledge of science, agriculture, and astronomy, only some of which has been rediscovered in the last 100 years. Were The Iliad and The Odyssey really about an epic struggle in pre-Celtic Europe? What happened to the Persian army that completely disappeared from Egypt 2,500 years ago? Did the ancients know how to create psychic guard dogs to protect sacred sites? There is much more to history than what has officially been recorded. Lost Secrets of the Gods reveals startling truths and asks fascinating questions traditional historians have long ignored.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Words from the Author I am Jos Miguel Bez, the esoteric and hermetic philosopher of the books, The Theosophy of Twt-Mos Djoser, The Book of Djehuti, La Filosofa Del Libro De Hermes Mercurio Trismegisto, and finally my last work, The Verbum of Hermes Mercurius Ter Maximus for those who are brave enough to read, analyze, critic and learn the mysteries of ancient religions, philosophy, science, astronomy (astrology), chemistry (alchemy) and Theurgy of the ancient Sumerians, Egyptians and Chaldeans to name a few. I am the spiritual and psychical Hermes Mercurius Ter Maximus since I was able to enchant the heavens, speak with the birds of the sky, the animals of the oceans, the beasts of the fields and have communion with the gods and goddesses and observe their formless form behind all forms and become the man inside of the universal form of the highest G-d, a divine and cosmic androgyny. The true Book of Thoth is not physical and in your earthly dimensional confinement but it must be searched and found beyond the confinement of your earthly world and dimensional reality of your space-time and when you have vanquished your fears, egos and stop demonizing others more advance than you then, you will find such a book whose wisdom and understanding will open your mind and heart that you may decide to embrace G-d or be defeated by your own impurities and iniquities for only he and she who have a pure heart and spirit in essence may become one with the Absolute All. Do try your best to live a life in harmony with one another, with all life forms, with Nature and the Earth and the divine and cosmic laws since this is my last reincarnation and I will never again return to you to teach you the hidden, concealed and unrevealed wisdom contain in the primordial ocean of divine mind and spirit. I am the sacred and anointed Magi of the divine androgyny, which exists also as an infinite potential and creating force that permeates, sustains, nourishes and contains all things.
Download or read book Balls of Fire written by Judy Kay King and published by . This book was released on 2015-02-20 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning 5,000 years of history from ancient Egypt to our technoprogressive 21st century, the science reviewed in Balls of Fire builds on The Isis Thesis (2004) and 12 journal articles (2005-2013). The Isis Thesis is a semiotic study of ancient Egyptian literature, artwork, ritual, and architecture, showing that ancient Egyptian deities are signs for human and microbial genes and proteins evolving into a hybrid quantum species. The deities' activities describe the ancient glycolysis gene expression network in our cells and mirror the lifestyles of a complex bacterial virus that uses this ancient developmental pathway. Surprisingly, other historical religious deities mirror the activities of Egyptian deities, so religion has also preserved an evolutionary science for survival of human DNA in a quantum environment. Balls of Fire presents evidence that our semiotic system is based on underlying physical and chemical principles inherited from our microbial ancestors, so our microbial DNA is ordering our society space. Examining human history through the dual lens of contemporary science and human behavior, the study shows that human beings have the potential to evolve at death into a unique hybrid species. Elite historical rulers have consistently veiled this evolutionary knowledge from humanity. However, our behavior has stamped an evolutionary viral footprint on the last 12,000 years of human history. In line with the methodology of Imre Lakatos (1970) on progressive and degenerating research programs, Balls of Fire examines the core hypotheses of the Isis Thesis, its predictions and several other auxiliary hypotheses. Understanding transdisciplinary ancient Egyptian knowledge is not easy, so Balls of Fire uses the same mental model and ritual that the pharaonic priesthood imagined to describe the ancient viral gene expression network in our cells for morphogenesis. That model is their ball-throwing rite or the game of baseball, which originated in ancient Egypt to illustrate a viral protein binding battle over gene-bases. Although the game of baseball has drifted through the centuries as a popular sport in many cultures, it originally expressed microbiological warfare at the level of viral genes and proteins. Because ancient Egyptian science mirrors the knowledge of our contemporary sciences, the baseball model simplifies the information for readers, while explaining the science that the pharaonic priesthood concealed in pyramids and tombs for centuries. For the creation of the baseball model, a fantasy-draft selection of two teams frames the historical power/knowledge grid, as well as the scientific argument for and against the Isis Thesis, while explaining the necessary context for what the theory predicts and scientific experiments confirm. This is accomplished by the draft of dead and living scientists, philosophers, writers and other creative artists, whose ideas are presented in two fantasy teams in order to tackle the mind-body problem that has confounded humans for centuries. Using this adversarial system, the reader determines the truth of the case through a transdisciplinary quest that prioritizes scientific research. Also summarizing the author's 12 published scientific papers, Balls of Fire presents findings correlative with the history of human ideas, along with scientific evidence and mechanistic insights to establish the clear link between nature, our behavior and human evolutionary potential. The evidence shows that our behavior and the evolution of society in the last 12,000 years has carved a footprint into human history, profiling a viral developmental pathway for human evolution. Balls of Fire exposes this hidden survival agenda in baseball, ancient cultures, alchemy, literary texts, Christianity, world visions, our sciences, and history itself."
Book Synopsis Statistical Inference from High Dimensional Data by : Carlos Fernandez-Lozano
Download or read book Statistical Inference from High Dimensional Data written by Carlos Fernandez-Lozano and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-04-28 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: • Real-world problems can be high-dimensional, complex, and noisy • More data does not imply more information • Different approaches deal with the so-called curse of dimensionality to reduce irrelevant information • A process with multidimensional information is not necessarily easy to interpret nor process • In some real-world applications, the number of elements of a class is clearly lower than the other. The models tend to assume that the importance of the analysis belongs to the majority class and this is not usually the truth • The analysis of complex diseases such as cancer are focused on more-than-one dimensional omic data • The increasing amount of data thanks to the reduction of cost of the high-throughput experiments opens up a new era for integrative data-driven approaches • Entropy-based approaches are of interest to reduce the dimensionality of high-dimensional data
