At 76 years old, Ivan was the healthy and happy. As patriarch of a huge family of children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, he had seemed to be invincible and timeless.

Download or read book CRISPR written by Yolanda Ridge and published by Annick Press. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We can change the world with gene editing—but should we? CRISPR stands for clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats. If it sounds complicated, it is—but it’s also one of the most powerful ways we can shape the future. And it’s poised to completely upend the way we think about science. Author Yolanda Ridge tackles this topic in a friendly and accessible tone, with two introductory chapters covering the basics of DNA and gene editing before taking readers through the ways that this ground-breaking science could affect them by potentially: • eliminating diseases like malaria and cancer, • improving the stability of our food supply, and • helping to manage conservation efforts for threatened animals and environments. But all of these possible advancements come with risks, the biggest being that the consequences are unknown. Chapters end with “Stop, Go, Yield” sections encouraging readers to consider the pros and cons of using CRISPR. “Cutting Questions” give readers the opportunity to further reflect on the ethics of the science. CRISPR is a game changer. This important book, with detailed scientific illustrations, brings much needed clarity to a topic that will affect readers for generations to come. *A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection

Book Synopsis When God Doesn’T Heal by : Larry Silverman
Download or read book When God Doesn’T Heal written by Larry Silverman and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2017-10-04 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You have prayed for healing and it hasnt happened yet. Now what? Do you need more faith? Is God not happy with your life? Or perhaps its something else altogether. Larry lived by and taught a mixed message of law and grace. One of the greatest lies he taught was the more we please God, the more He will be pleased with us and answer our prayers. Many in the body of Christ today have made healing a type of law. They believe the reason God hasnt healed them is because they dont have enough faith to be healed. While many books suggest ways to be healed and stay healed, this book addresses what happens when God doesnt heal. Lets face itsickness and disease are bad enough, but to add such issues as feeling God is displeased with us, and He is punishing us because of our lack of faith makes matters that much worse. In When God Doesnt Heal, author Larry Silverman blends his understanding of grace into the practical reality of living with sickness and disease, especially detailing his battle and victory over cancer.

Book Synopsis Modern Prometheus by : James Kozubek
Download or read book Modern Prometheus written by James Kozubek and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-18 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Would you change your genes if you could? As we confront the 'industrial revolution of the genome', the recent discoveries of Crispr-Cas9 technologies are offering, for the first time, cheap and effective methods for editing the human genome. This opens up startling new opportunities as well as significant ethical uncertainty. Tracing events across a fifty-year period, from the first gene splicing techniques to the present day, this is the story of gene editing - the science, the impact and the potential. Kozubek weaves together the fascinating stories of many of the scientists involved in the development of gene editing technology. Along the way, he demystifies how the technology really works and provides vivid and thought-provoking reflections on the continuing ethical debate. Ultimately, Kozubek places the debate in its historical and scientific context to consider both what drives scientific discovery and the implications of the 'commodification' of life.

Book Synopsis What Doesn't Kill You... by : Rachel Haynes

Book Synopsis Imagine Yourself Well by : Sean F. Kelly
Download or read book Imagine Yourself Well written by Sean F. Kelly and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2009-09-09 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine Yourself Well: Better Health through Self-Hypnosis is a remarkable view of hypnotherapy as a scientifically recognized treatment art. Based upon their extensive practice and clinical research in therapeutic hypnotic techniques, the authors have constructed an effective handbook articulating the therapeutic use of hypnosis by depicting word-for-word what transpires during a session. The fascinating series of carefully worded transcripts of hypnotic exercises will enable the reader to correct specific self-destructive habits (e.g., overeating and smoking), common psychological problems (insomnia and various phobias), chronic physical conditions (arthritis, back pain, high blood pressure, and migraine headaches), and performance anxieties (athletics and public speaking). The theory underlying clinical practice, including the key point that all hypnosis involves self-hypnosis, is explained in lay terms, and each exercise is grounded in sound cognitive, behavioral, or psychodynamic principles.
