Prometheus Books The Mysterious World of the Human Genome
Book SynopsisThe human genome is indeed a mysterious world, but, as this fascinating book shows, its vital secrets are now being uncovered. The latest studiesare revealing exciting new discoveries, such as how the DNA and related chemical compounds in our cells work together to direct the processes of life. Scientists are not only unraveling how life evolved in the ancient past, but are also finding the keys to creating a healthier future. How does the minuscule chemical cluster in each of our 100 trillion cells accomplish the amazing feat of creating and maintaining our bodies? Frank Ryan, a physician and an evolutionary biologist, describes the complex ways in which the genome operates as a holistic system and not solely through genes coding for proteins-the building blocks of life. Also involved are elaborate switching mechanisms that regulate and control portions of our DNA, as well as the interplay of retroviruses and bacteria. This groundbreaking book explains thatwe are on the cusp of an amazing era of disease treatment and eradication.

Bellevue Literary Press The Topography of Tears
Book Synopsis“When you first view Rose-Lynn Fisher’s photographs, you might think you’re looking down at the world from an airplane, at dunes, skyscrapers or shorelines. In fact, you’re looking at her tears. . . . [There’s] poetry in the idea that our emotional terrain bears visual resemblance to the physical world; that our tears can look like the vistas we see out an airplane window. Fisher’s images are the only remaining trace of these places, which exist during a moment of intense feeling—and then vanish.” —NPR“[A] delicate, intimate book. . . . In The Topography of Tears photographer Rose-Lynn Fisher shows us a place where language strains to express grief, longing, pride, frustration, joy, the confrontation with something beautiful, the confrontation with an onion.” —Boston GlobeDoes a tear shed while chopping onions look different from a tear of happiness? In this powerful collection of images, an award-winning photographer trains her optical microscope and camera on her own tears and those of men, women, and children, released in moments of grief, pain, gratitude, and joy, and captured upon glass slides. These duotone photographs reveal the beauty of recurring patterns in nature and present evocative, crystalline imagery for contemplation. Underscored by poetic captions, they translate the mysterious act of crying into an atlas mapping the structure and magnificence of our interior lives.Rose-Lynn Fisher is an artist and author of the International Photography Award-winning studies Bee and The Topography of Tears. Her photographs are exhibited in galleries, festivals, and museums across the world and have been featured by the Dr. Oz Show, NPR, Smithsonian, Harper’s, New Yorker, Time, Wired, Reader’s Digest, Discover, Brain Pickings, and elsewhere. She received her BFA from Otis Art Institute and lives in Los Angeles.Trade ReviewAmateur Photographer magazine “Best Book of the Year” selectionElizabeth Avedon’s “Best Photography Book of the Year” selection“When you first view Rose-Lynn Fisher’s photographs, you might think you’re looking down at the world from an airplane, at dunes, skyscrapers or shorelines.

Fisher uses the technological tools of science to probe the poetic, immaterial dimensions of a universal human behavior radiating infinite emotional hues.” —Brain Pickings“Incredible. . . . Lingers long in the mind.” —Amateur Photographer magazine“The sheer strangeness, variety and beauty of [Fisher’s] ‘photomicrographs’ are stunning. . . . The photos also manage to convey a beautifully wide spectrum of human emotion.” —Angelus magazine“In seeing . . . The Topography of Tears, I am floored by our physical connectedness of the natural world. . . . The photographs in this series are delicate, fragile and quietly complex, not unlike the emotions that come with tears.” —Lenscratch“There are elements of Fisher’s images [in The Topography of Tears] that can’t be explained by science, and the great poet Ann Lauterbach also wrote an essay for the book, drawing on work from William Blake and Janis Joplin to define the many meanings of tears. It’s only in the afterword that Fisher reveals the personal inspiration behind the work. . . . In those final pages of text, we’re surprised to remember the ordinariness of the many epic ‘landscapes’ that came before. Suddenly, they don’t seem so alien anymore.” —Feature Shoot“Addresses a studious urge to understand more closely the liquid expression of human emotion.” —GUP Magazine“A fascinating world in miniature. . . . An excellent study in self-examination through art.” —PhotoBook Journal“Looking at [Fisher’s] photographs feels like staring out a plane window at the passing landscape below.” —Studio 360“A moving depiction of the micro and macro aspects of our emotional lives, and a beautiful means of integrating the often separate realms of science and art.” —Refinery29“An extraordinary take on an otherwise mundane human response.” —Medical Daily“Beautiful.” —Good Men Project“Stunning photographs transport us to a previously unseen world. . . . [They] also invoke within us a new set of emotions as individual as each of its viewers. What a pleasure.” —William H. Frey II, PhD, founder and senior research director of HealthPartners Neurosciences and coauthor of Crying: The Mystery of Tears“Reveals the existence of a multitude of territories inside of us.” —Palais de Tokyo curator Rebecca Lamarche-Vadel

Christl Kiener Studies in Biodynamic Embryology: Concept,
Book SynopsisIn his writings Blechschmidt consistently accessed and described the subject of human embryology from the viewpoint of biodynamic metabolic fields and focuses his attention on the question: How does human form arise? Blechschmidt wrote and published exclusively in German. It was mostly through a German/English bi-lingual volume published by Karger (“The Stages of Human Development Before Birth”, 1960) and an exceptional cooperation with his co-author R. F. Gasser (“Biokinetics and Biodynamics of Human Differentiation”, 1978), that his work became partly available to an international English speaking audience. “The Beginnings of Human Life” (1977) was written primarily for the general public, but is no longer in print. The publication of Brian Freeman's translation of “The Ontogenetic Basis of Human Anatomy” (2004), contributed to a growing interest in Blechschmidt's ideas. Slowly osteopaths, Structural Integrators, cranial practitioners and other therapists began to appreciate his work. The books mentioned above offer both a general and comprehensive access to the morphological cosmos described by Blechschmidt but, unfortunately, they are only partly available at the moment. However, there are a number of unnoticed scientific articles already translated into English that offer a more detailed and deeper, specific insight into this elaborate universe of shape and form. The book you have here is a compilation of a number of those individual articles.Table of Contents1 Principles of Biodynamic Differentiation .................................................. 10 2 The First Three Weeks After Fertilization .................................................... 37 3 The Forming of the Human Face – Elementary embryonic processes ...... 50 4 The development of the cerebral cortex..................................................... 59 5 Biokinetics of the Basicranium ................................................................... 67 6 The Development of the Os Frontale.......................................................... 81 7 The Programming of Afferent and Efferent Nervous Fibres in Man ........... 90 8 Early Stages of Human Limb Development ............................................... 108 9 The Architecture of the Padding of the Heel .............................................. 144

Book SynopsisLa solución de los telómeros es un riguroso estudio sobre el poder que tienen nuestras relaciones interpersonales -de amor, amistad, familiares- para detener el envejecimiento celular de la mano de una Premio Nobel. Recomendaciones científicas para enriquecer la vida y mejorar la salud.Número 1 en la lista de best sellers de The New York Times.Elizabeth Blackburn es Premio Nobel de Medicina y la descubridora de la telomerasa y del papel que desempeñan los telómeros en el proceso de envejecimiento.Elissa Epel es la psicóloga que ha investigado cómo determinados hábitos pueden proteger nuestros telómeros, reducir las enfermedades y mejorar nuestra vida.Juntas han escrito La solución de los telómeros, un libro que, según Jon Kabat-Zinn, autor de Vivir con Plenitud las crisis, es una aportación de valor inestimable, rigurosa en su argumentación y, en esencia, sumamente compasiva y sabia con nuestra comprensión de la salud y el bienestar.Te has preguntado alguna vez por qué muchos jubilados aparentan cuarenta años y se sienten jóvenes, y viceversa? Si bien son muchos los factores que intervienen en el envejecimiento y en las enfermedades, la premio Nobel Elizabeth Blackburn descubrió un indicador biológico llamado telomerasa, una enzima que regenera los telómeros que son los encargados a su vez de proteger nuestra herencia genética. Las conclusiones que se extraen de sus estudios dictaminan que la longitud y la salud de nuestros telómeros constituyen un fundamento biológico de la conexión entre mente y cuerpo. Las doctoras Blackburn y Epel han descubierto que podemos introducir cambios en nuestros hábitos diarios para proteger nuestros telómeros y disfrutar de más años de vida sana, con grandes niveles de energía y sin enfermar.La solución de los telómeros nos desvela que la calidad del sueño, el ejercicio físico, lo que ingerimos y hasta determinados productos químicos afectan de manera profunda a nuestros telómeros, y que el estrés crónico, los pensamientos negativos, las relaciones forzadas e incluso el mero hecho de vivir en un lugar determinado pueden erosionarlos.A partir de todo ese conocimiento científico, nos ofrecen listas de alimentos y nos sugieren modalidades y tablas de ejercicios físicos que fomentan unos telómeros más sanos, trucos mentales que podemos usar para protegernos del estrés e información sobre cómo preservar los telómeros de nuestros hijos desde el embarazo hasta la adolescencia. Además, nos explican cómo podemos propiciar nuestra vida sana más allá de los límites de nuestra casa, en un entorno social caracterizado por la confianza, espacios verdes y calles seguras.La solución de los telómeros hará que nos replanteemos nuestra vida cotidiana. Es el primer libro en el que se explica cómo envejecemos a nivel celular y cómo podemos introducir pequeños cambios para lograr que nuestros cromosomas y nuestras células sigan sanos y nos permitan vivir más tiempo sin enfermedades y disfrutar de una vida llena de energía y sentido.Reseñas:El estudio de los telómeros nos ayuda a conocer qué es lo que protege y endurece a nuestras células. Se trata de ciencia puntera sobre la longevidad.Doctor Howard S. FriedmanUna de las obras de biología más emocionantes que han aparecido durante la última década.Eric Kandel, Premio NobelBlackburn y Epel demuestran que nuestra manera de vivir el día a día ejerce un intenso efecto no solo en nuestra salud y nuestro bienestar, sino también en cómo envejecemos. Es un manual sobre cómo vivir más joven y durante más tiempo. La solución de los telómeros es un libro que te ayudará a vivir mejor a todos los niveles.Arianna HuffingtonElizabeth Blackburn y Elissa Epel han dado con una serie de descubrimientos revolucionarios que pueden transformar nuestra manera de vivir la vida y mostrarnos cómo podemos usar la mente para configurar la salud de nuestras células.Doctor Daniel J.

Editorial Kairos Vagina: Una Nueva Biografía de la Sexualidad
Book SynopsisNuestra visión de la sexualidad femenina está completamente desfasada. Naomi Wolf, reconocida crítica cultural y autora de algunos de los más importantes éxitos de venta recientes, nos propone una revisión en profundidad del rol, la acción, el significado y hasta la historia de la vagina.Esta obra es una fascinante investigación en la vanguardia de la ciencia, una inmersión en la trayectoria personal de la autora y un repaso a la historia cultural; una mirada muy sutil e inteligente que nos lleva a replantear de forma radical nuestra manera de comprender la vagina y, por consiguiente, de entender a las mujeres. Y es que ?según Naomi Wolf? la vagina es un componente intrínseco del cerebro femenino. Por tanto, posee una conexión esencial con la consciencia femenina. Asimismo, la autora profundiza en el rol de la vagina en el amor, la sexualidad, la espiritualidad, la sociedad e incluso la política.Aclamado por el Publishers Weekly como uno de los mejores libros de ciencia del año, Vagina es un libro muy provocador y ameno, sin duda destinado a convertirse en un clásico contemporáneo.

Peeters Publishers Lexique Analytique De L'anatomie Humaine -
Book SynopsisLes lexiques et dictionnaires sont des ouvrages que l'on consulte a la fois par interet et par plaisir. Le present lexique anatomique trilingue inuktitut/francais/anglais ne fait pas exception a la regle. Il comble tout d'abord un manque existant dans le champ de l'anatomie inuit en rassemblant un corpus d'environ 570 termes provenant de l'Arctique oriental canadien (Nunavik et Nunavut oriental). Il permet ensuite d'aborder ce domaine lexical dans une perspective ethnolinguistique reliant les faits de langue aux choix culturels. Ce travail met ainsi en avant le caractere hautement motive de la langue inuit. Ouvrage thematique a vocation pratique, illustre de planches anatomiques, il met en evidence divers modes de designation des organes et zones du corps et contribue de la sorte a une meilleure connaissance de certaines mecanismes de conceptualisation chez les Inuit. Dictionaries are reference works: we consult them both for interest and for pleasure. This trilungual Inuktitut/French/English anatomical dictionary is no exception to this rule. It fills first and foremost a gap that exists in the field of Inuit anatomy, by bringing together a set of some 570 terms from the Canadian Eastern Arctic (Nunavik and Eastern Nunavut). It then provides an ethnolinguistic approach to this area of lexicography that links the facts of language to cultural choices. This work accordingly illustrates the highly motivated character of the Inuit language. This lexicon is dedicated to a specific theme, with practical intent and is illustrated with anatomical plates. It shows, as far as possible, various ways in which organs and areas of the body are designated and contributes thereby to an enhanced understanding of some of the conceptualization mechanisms used by the Inuit.
