Download or read book DNA written by James D. Watson and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2009-01-21 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years ago, James D. Watson, then just twentyfour, helped launch the greatest ongoing scientific quest of our time. Now, with unique authority and sweeping vision, he gives us the first full account of the genetic revolution—from Mendel’s garden to the double helix to the sequencing of the human genome and beyond. Watson’s lively, panoramic narrative begins with the fanciful speculations of the ancients as to why “like begets like” before skipping ahead to 1866, when an Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel first deduced the basic laws of inheritance. But genetics as we recognize it today—with its capacity, both thrilling and sobering, to manipulate the very essence of living things—came into being only with the rise of molecular investigations culminating in the breakthrough discovery of the structure of DNA, for which Watson shared a Nobel prize in 1962. In the DNA molecule’s graceful curves was the key to a whole new science. Having shown that the secret of life is chemical, modern genetics has set mankind off on a journey unimaginable just a few decades ago. Watson provides the general reader with clear explanations of molecular processes and emerging technologies. He shows us how DNA continues to alter our understanding of human origins, and of our identities as groups and as individuals. And with the insight of one who has remained close to every advance in research since the double helix, he reveals how genetics has unleashed a wealth of possibilities to alter the human condition—from genetically modified foods to genetically modified babies—and transformed itself from a domain of pure research into one of big business as well. It is a sometimes topsy-turvy world full of great minds and great egos, driven by ambitions to improve the human condition as well as to improve investment portfolios, a world vividly captured in these pages. Facing a future of choices and social and ethical implications of which we dare not remain uninformed, we could have no better guide than James Watson, who leads us with the same bravura storytelling that made The Double Helix one of the most successful books on science ever published. Infused with a scientist’s awe at nature’s marvels and a humanist’s profound sympathies, DNA is destined to become the classic telling of the defining scientific saga of our age.
Book Synopsis The Hymnal by : Christopher N. Phillips
Download or read book The Hymnal written by Christopher N. Phillips and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2018-08-01 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the culture of living with hymnbooks offers new insight into the histories of poetry, literacy, and religious devotion. It stands barely three inches high, a small brick of a book. The pages are skewed a bit, and evidence of a small handprint remains on the worn, cheap leather covers that don’t quite close. The book bears the marks of considerable use. But why—and for whom—was it made? Christopher N. Phillips’s The Hymnal is the first study to reconstruct the practices of reading and using hymnals, which were virtually everywhere in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Isaac Watts invented a small, words-only hymnal at the dawn of the eighteenth century. For the next two hundred years, such hymnals were their owners’ constant companions at home, school, church, and in between. They were children's first books, slaves’ treasured heirlooms, and sources of devotional reading for much of the English-speaking world. Hymnals helped many people learn to memorize poetry and to read; they provided space to record family memories, pass notes in church, and carry everything from railroad tickets to holy cards to business letters. In communities as diverse as African Methodists, Reform Jews, Presbyterians, Methodists, Roman Catholics, and Unitarians, hymnals were integral to religious and literate life. An extended historical treatment of the hymn as a read text and media form, rather than a source used solely for singing, this book traces the lives people lived with hymnals, from obscure schoolchildren to Emily Dickinson. Readers will discover a wealth of connections between reading, education, poetry, and religion in Phillips’s lively accounts of hymnals and their readers.

Book Synopsis Sing to the Lord an Old Song by : Richard Schmidt
Download or read book Sing to the Lord an Old Song written by Richard Schmidt and published by . This book was released on 2019-10 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some hymns simply have an extra sprinkling of divine magic. The first notes thrill from the organ, and we are home. There's little wonder that we refer to the majestic sound of choirs of angels: Surely the kingdom of God is full of the sound of singing. Author Richard H. Schmidt offers a homecoming of sorts in his newest book, Sing to the Lord an Old Song. His meditations on forty classic hymns remind us of a shared faith--by generations before and with generations to come. Though the words and tunes may be entrenched in memory, Schmidt sheds new light on these hymns, inviting us to think about the texts through various lenses of scripture, faith, and personal experience. His reflections are painstakingly honest about how and when he has come up short as a follower of Christ--as well as how he each time, he finds notes of forgiveness, love, and hope in these familiar songs. Saint Augustine explained the power of song in his oft-quoted adage that those who sing pray twice. Come, sing and pray of amazing grace. Amen. Alleluia!

Book Synopsis Unwearied Praises by : Jeffrey P. Greenman

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the earliest beginnings of the Christian Church, believers have gathered to worship God--Father, Son and Holy Spirit. They have expressed their faith by singing "psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in their hearts to God" (Colossians 3:16). One of the best ways to learn about and enter into what Christians believe is to sing the classic, well-known, deeply-loved hymns of our tradition. In Unwearied Praises, readers are invited to reflect upon the experience of classic hymns as a doorway into the historic beliefs and spiritual insights that have defined Christianity for centuries. Each chapter includes Scripture references and questions for reflection, making this an excellent resource for a small group study or personal enrichment. "The current rediscovery of hymnology for worship will be greatly enhanced by this theologically astute yet highly practical volume of classic hymns. I hope, for the sake of the church's spiritual health, Unwearied Praises, will receive a wide readership." -Robert E. Webber, Author of Ancient-Future Faith and Blended Worship Jeffrey P.

Book Synopsis Hidden in the Hymns by : Rivers Houseal
Download or read book Hidden in the Hymns written by Rivers Houseal and published by . This book was released on 2021-11-05 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Church has a rich history of music and hymns. But many mainstream congregations have thrown out the older hymns. Why? Archaic. Antiquated. Obsolete. The wording in the old hymns is deemed too out-of-date to be worthwhile to the modern Church. To which Hidden in the Hymns says, "Hogwash." It's true that phrases like "raise my Ebenezer" and "round it has cast, like a mantle, the sea" are fuzzy to modern ears. But what isn't archaic is the subject matter of these old hymns. And the plain fact is that many older hymns dive deeper into comforting truths than most Christian pop songs do. These old hymns are full of Scripture and rich insights. What better music could your children have stuck in their heads? But in order for children-and adults-to love these old hymns as they deserve, they'll need to know what the hymns are talking about. Enter Hidden in the Hymns. In order to help children see why the old hymns are worth holding on to, Rivers Houseal has paraphrased eighty classic hymns into words that a middle-grader can understand. The paraphrase is presented stanza by stanza-first, a vocabulary "translation" is given, immediately followed by the original hymn lyrics. This allows children to grasp the meaning in the hymn stanza they are about to read, then see that meaning in its original wording. The result: children realize what powerful teaching and beauty is hidden in these hymns.
