Breathless
"The story of the worldwide scientific quest to decipher the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, trace its source, and make possible the vaccines to fight the Covid-19 pandemic"--Provided by publisher.
Buiten adem
Dit boek neemt je mee in de internationale inspanningen om het coronavirus te begrijpen en onder controle te krijgen. Je beleeft dit avontuur vanuit het perspectief van de wetenschappers. ‘Buiten adem’ van wetenschapsjournalist en veelgevraagd spreker David Quammen neemt je mee in de verwoede internationale inspanningen om sars-cov-2 te begrijpen en onder controle te krijgen. Het voert je mee op de meedogenloze reis het coronavirus achterna, dat waarschijnlijk een ‘eeuwig virus’ zal zijn, voorbestemd om onder de mensheid te circuleren en ons eindeloos te kwellen. Quammen legt uit dat epidemiologen deze pandemie zagen aankomen, maar dat hun waarschuwingen om politieke of economische redenen werden genegeerd en hij analyseert dat de precieze oorsprong van dit virus misschien nog jaren onbekend zal blijven.
Epidemics and War
Through its coverage of 19 epidemics associated with a broad range of wars, and blending medical knowledge, demographics, geographic, and medical information with historical and military insights, this book reveals the complex relationship between epidemics and wars throughout history. How did small pox have a tremendous effect on two distinct periods of war—one in which the disease devastated entire native armies and leadership, and the other in which technological advancements and the application of medical knowledge concerning the disease preserved an army and as a result changed the course of events? Epidemics and War: The Impact of Disease on Major Conflicts in History examines fascin...
Microbes
This is the only book that tells both sides of the story of germs: that they are critically important for our health and that the dangers of emerging pathogens continue to wreak havoc in our bodies and around the world. With straight-forward and engaging writing, infectious diseases physician Phillip Peterson surveys how our understanding of viruses has changed throughout history, from early plagues and pandemics to more recent outbreaks like HIV/AIDS, Ebola, Zika, and Coronavirus. Microbes also takes on contemporary issues like the importance of vaccinations in the face of the growing anti-vaxxer movement, as well as the rise of cutting-edge health treatments like fecal transplants. Peterson relays his first-hand experience dealing with an unprecedented emergence of new microbial threats. Yet at the same time he has witnessed the astounding recent discoveries of the crucial role of the microbes that colonize our body surfaces in human health. Microbes explains for general readers where these germs came from, what they do to and for us, and what can be done to stop the bad actors and foster the benefactors.
The Strange Order Of Things
'Damasio undertakes nothing less than a reconstruction of the natural history of the universe ... [A] brave and honest book' The New York Times Book Review The Strange Order of Things is a pathbreaking investigation into homeostasis, the condition of that regulates human physiology within the range that makes possible not only survival but also the flourishing of life. Antonio Damasio makes clear that we descend biologically, psychologically and even socially from a long lineage that begins with single living cells; that our minds and cultures are linked by an invisible thread to the ways and means of ancient unicellular existence and other primitive life-forms; and that inherent in our very chemistry is a powerful force, a striving toward life maintenance that governs life in all its guises, including the development of genes that help regulate and transmit life. The Strange Order of Things is a landmark reflection that spans the biological and social sciences, offering a new way of understanding the origins of life, feeling and culture.
Untangling Molecular Biodiversity: Explaining Unity And Diversity Principles Of Organization With Molecular Structure And Evolutionary Genomics
Untangling Molecular Biodiversity presents a unique global framework to explain molecular and organismal biodiversity that is grounded in evolutionary genomics. This book will tackle important questions such as the origin of life, the emergence of biochemistry, the origin of viruses, the nature of the last universal common ancestor responsible for diversified life, the role of information and thermodynamics in evolution, the reason for having three cellular domains in life, and the centrality of modules in biology.This book will explore six themes: (1) Explanatory frameworks for biological organization; (2) Evolutionary patterns and biodiversity; (3) Molecular structure and evolutionary genomics; (4) A framework of persistence strategies that borrows from engineering and systems biology; (5) Use of this framework to explain diversity in the molecular world; and (6) Exploring the origin and evolution of cells and viruses.Consequently, this book represents a very unique collection of ideas that can attract the attention of a broad readership interested in life sciences/biology.
Viruses: More Friends Than Foes (Revised Edition)
Coronavirus, AIDS, and Ebola: Viruses are normally defined as pathogens. Most viruses are, however, not enemies or killers. Well-known virologist and cancer researcher Karin Moelling describes surprising insights about a completely new and unexpected world of viruses. Viruses are ubiquitous, in the oceans, our environment, in animals, plants, bacteria, in our body, even in our genomes. They influence our weather, can contribute to control obesity, and can surprisingly be applied against threatening multi-resistant bacteria. The success story of the viruses started more than 3.5 billion years ago in the dawn of life when even cells did not exist. They are the superpower of life. There are mor...
Gut and Physiology Syndrome
Companion volume to the bestselling Gut & Psychology Syndrome—the book that launched the GAPS diet—which has been translated into 22 languages and sold more than 300,000 copies. Since the publication of the first GAPS book, Gut and Psychology Syndrome, in 2004, the GAPS concept has become a global phenomenon. People all over the world have been using the GAPS Nutritional Protocol for healing from physical and mental illnesses. The first GAPS book focused on learning disabilities and mental illness. This new book, Gut and Physiology Syndrome, focuses on the rest of the human body and completes the GAPS concept. Allergies, autoimmune illness, digestive problems, neurological and endocrine problems, asthma, eczema, chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia, psoriasis and chronic cystitis, arthritis and many other chronic degenerative illnesses are covered. Dr. Campbell-McBride believes that the link between physical and mental health, the food and drink that we take, and the condition of our digestive system is absolute. The clinical experience of many holistic doctors supports this position.
GAPS Bağırsak ve Fizyoloji Sendromu
Nöroloji ve beslenme doktoru Natasha Campbell-McBride’ın yıllardır beklenen kitabıdır. Onun 22 yıllık bilgi ve klinik deneyimini, birikimini, bilgeliğini; bütün hastalıkların kök nedenlerini, bu hastalıkların nasıl önlendiğini, hastalığın nasıl geriye döndürüldüğünü ve iyileşmenin bütün dinamiklerini anlatıyor: Evimizde ve bizim yarattığımız olanaklarla. Bağırsak ve Fizyoloji Sendromu için Doğal Tedavi Yöntemi; sağlıksız bir bağırsaktan kaynaklanan fiziksel hastalıkların doğal tedavisidir. Bu hastalıkar: tüm otoimmün durumlar (çölyak hastalığı, romatoit artrit, tip 1 diyabet, MS, ALS, lupus, Crohn hastalığı, ülseratif kolit, vb.), astım, egzama ve çeşitli alerjiler; kronik yorgunluk sendromu, fibromiyalji, hormonal bozuklukları, nörolojik hastalıklar ve tüm kronik sindirim bozuklukları. Dr. Stephanie Seneff’in dediği gibi “Bu kitap bir hazine, her evde ve her tıp doktorunda olması gerekir”
