| Abstract: This book is about viruses. Even as humanity reels beneath the assault of Aids, epidemiologists are gearing themselves up for that successor of plague. It might be dengue fever, whose carrier, the Asian tiger mosquito, has recently appeared in the United States, or Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, which has been transmitted by contaminated human growth hormone. The next pandemic might be caused by any of a dozen viruses that were once confined to other species or territories but now place human beings at risk as we increasingly cross their boundaries. |

| Subject: Science |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: The symbols employed by the alchemists to represent the various elements, metals, substances, processes, and operations used in their art, that developed to such a great extent in the Middle Ages, go back to an early period. Originally designed to ensure secrecy in recording the alchemists formulate and to prevent the uninitiated from acquiring their knowledge, they also served as a kind if shorthand for working out their recipes and notes just as the symbols used by chemists do today. Secret alphabets, ciphers, and emblematic drawings representing various processes also served as a medium of understanding between the adepts of different nations and became universally employed in Europe. |

| Abstract: Suppose you could redesign the genetic makeup of any plant or animal species on the Earth, including Homo sapiens, to suit your whims. Would you? For people who lived prior to the twentieth century, this question would have made no sense. No one knew what genes were or what they did. To be sure. No one knew what genes been carefully altering domesticated species for millennia, but hardly anyone imagined that it would someday be possible to reach into the very cells of a cow, a pig, a maize plant, or a human begin and make minute alterations that would change the organism and its offspring in fundamental and predictable ways. |

| Title: From Physics to Metaphysics |
| Author: Michael Redhead |
| Edition Year: 1995 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Science |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is drawn from the Tarner lectures delivered in Cambridge in 1993. It is concerned with the ultimate nature of reality and how this is revealed by modern physical theories such as relativity and quantum theory and objectivity and rationality of science constructivists. It is claimed that modern physics gives us a tentative and fallible, but nevertheless rational approach to the nature of physical reality. The role of subjectivity in science is examined in the fields of relativity theory, statistical mechanics and quantum theory and recent claims of an essential role for human consciousness in physics are rejected. |

| Title: Nature via Nurture: Genes, Experience and What Makes us Human |
| Author: Matt Ridley |
| Edition Year: 2004 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: Science |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: Acclaimed science writer Matt Ridley chronicles a new revolution in our understanding of genes. He recounts the hundred years war between the partisans of nature and nurture to explain how this paradoxical creature, the human being, can be simultaneously free-willed and motivated by instinct and culture. Nurture depends on genes and genes need nurture. Genes not only predetermine the broad structure of the brain, they also absorb formative experiences, react to social cues and even run memory. An enthralling, up-to-the-minute account of how genes build brains to absorb experience. |

| Abstract: This book is about the web of Osler. For more than a decade a devastating disease has been allowed to spread through our country, unchecked, insufficiently researched and all but ignored, if not denied, by the medical establishment. In many circles this disease, still known as Yuppie Fu, is dismissed as a psychological aberration. For the nearly two million people who have endured its traumatic and very real debilitating physical effects, however, chronic fatigue syndrome is no joke. |

| Abstract: This book is about letters on OD and Magnetism.

Preconceived opinions regarding treatments cannot be changed overnight by the reading of a single it. Healing is an art and not a science what heals one will not necessarily heal another. This is the reason doctors practice on their patients. It treatment would cure then it would be logical to treat the patient 24 hours a day and hurry the process. Nature does not work in this manner. |

No doubt many of those engaged in the practice to Radionics will not agree with the explanations which shall offer and freely admit in advance that their explanations may be right and mine wrong. For the whole subject is fraught with difficulties, not the least of which is that the language is inadequate for the subject and the terms employed may mean different things to different people. |

| Subject: Science |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book developed a unified, systemic understanding that integrates the biological, cognitive and social dimensions of life and demonstrates how life at all levels is inextricably interlinked by complex networks. As the new century unfolds, there are two developments which will have a defining impact on the future of humanity. Both have to do with networks and both involve radically new technologies. One is the rise of global capitalism, which is concerned with electronic networks of financial and informational flows, the other the creation of sustainable communities based on ecological literacy and the practice of ecodesign. |

| Title: The Origin of Chemistry |
| Author: Robert P. Multhauf |
| Edition Year: 1966 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Science |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: Since chemistry deals with basic human needs and fundamental aspects of the nature of things, its roots can be traced very early and yet it is one of the youngest of sciences. This book, the first of its kind in recent times, studies the science of matter as found in technology, philosophy, alchemy, and medicine, down to the 17th century. It considers the practical knowledge and the scientific pretensions of the leading exponents in these fields, and shows how the various threads came together after the renaissance to start the chemist on the road which led to Lavoisier. |

Yet in a travel journal which takes the reader form the coasts and interiors of South America to South Sea islands, Drawins description powers are constantly challenged, but never once overcome. |

| Title: Time, Knowledge and the Nebulae |
| Author: Martin Johnson |
| Edition Year: 1947 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Science |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is about time, knowledge and the Nebulae. Although it is undeniable that some notion of Time is freely utilised by all workers in the physical sciences and by many philosophical writers, their interests scatter over so many meanings of the word that a preliminary statement is called for, to say which of these might demand urgent questioning at the present stage in the history of thought. It may also be desirable to give reason why any probing into scientific treatment of Time might have claims on the attention of a wider public not professionally physicist or astronomer or philosopher. |
