Epigenetics


Book Description

WHAT IS EPIGENETICS? Epigenetics is an emerging field of science that studies alterations in gene expression caused by factors other than changes in the DNA sequence. Epigenetics: The Death of the Genetic Theory of Disease Transmission is the result of decades of research and its findings that could be as critical to our understanding of human health as Pasteur’s research in bacteriology. Dr. Joel “Doc” Wallach has dedicated his life work to identifying connections between certain nutritional deficiencies and a range of maladies, formerly thought to be hereditary, including Cystic Fibrosis and Muscular Dystrophy. This nexus between nutrition and so-called genetic disease has been observed in both humans and primates, and it is the central theme of Epigenetics. To bring us Epigenetics, Wallach has teamed with noted scholars Dr. Ma Lan and Dr. Gerhard N. Schrauzer. Their collective expertise gives this book its far reaching perspective. Epigenetics is of vital importance to anyone who wants real knowledge about how the human body functions, and it provides a path for better health. Epigentics dispels the dogma and misinformation propagated by medical institutions and doctors resistant to change. Epigenetics is the beginning of a new era of well-being on this planet.




Breaking Boundaries


Book Description

Liminality has the potential to be a leading paradigm for understanding transformation in a globalizing world. As a fundamental human experience, liminality transmits cultural practices, codes, rituals, and meanings in situations that fall between defined structures and have uncertain outcomes. Based on case studies of some of the most important crises in history, society, and politics, this volume explores the methodological range and applicability of the concept to a variety of concrete social and political problems.




Poetic Glue


Book Description

Materiality offers us the most basic playing field for finding poetic glue. For here we can use our right brain to left brain oscillation to drag the animated from the inanimate object with respect to its characteristics and form. Look for the twitch in a stone or the bowing of a blade of grass. In seeing such manneristics within the banal, you will certainly uncover more than a maple, and perhaps more than a universe. I hope that you find an approach to look for poetry in all that abounds. I hope you find revery in that poetry to inspire an idea. The poetic idea is a simple one. It is the connection between two seemingly dissimilars. If you find a seed and notice the tiny spring within it and wonder of its function, only to imagine it as the flinger of all things radicle, in hopes of finding fertile ground, then you've found the poetic glue.




Understanding Materials Science


Book Description

This introduction for engineers examines not only the physical properties of materials, but also their history, uses, development, and some of the implications of resource depletion and materials substitutions.
