Live, in good health, for as long as possible! Yes, you can! Every day, our life expectancy increases by six hours, thanks to the advances of medical science and our improving lifestyle. Can we do better? Can we go as far as Jeanne Calment, the oldest person to have ever lived, who reached 122 years of age? Yes, it is possible! Today we are able to make a human cell immortal; what we do not yet know is how to do this for all of our cells, in all of our tissues, all of our organs, and for all of our functions. The author of this book draws us into the magical landscape of our 60 trillion intelligent cells. He shows us how aging gradually insinuates itself into our DNA. More importantly, he shares with us the incredible promises of stem cells, telomerase, biotechnology, nanomedicine, and, finally, the critical impact of a healthy lifestyle.
A path to Self This book is the synthesis of my work detailed in my previous books. My objective is to explain the elaboration of an unknown yet very promising accompaniment technique. I am talking about CPA, in English “Accompanied Inner Communication”. By accompanying the hand over a computer keyboard, expression emerges from a part of ourselves that we do not usually have access to. Thanks to this particular type of communication, the hand becomes the heart’s messenger. By accompanying the hand over a computer keyboard, the expression of a part of ourselves that we don’t usually have access to emerges. AIC is used with people who cannot speak as well as those who can. The vision o...

This history of the LP is a must-have for any music connoisseur! When vinyl LP records took over the music industry in the late 1950s, a new era began. No longer bound by the time constraints of the shellac 78s that had been in use since the 1910s, recording artists could now present an entire album—rather than a lone three-minute single—on a vinyl LP, giving listeners a completely new way to experience their music. In recent years, vinyl has found a second life as an art form, collected and appreciated by music connoisseurs across the world. Vinyl: The Art of Making Records examines the origins of the vinyl format and its evolution throughout the 20th century, and also provides an in-depth look at how vinyl LPs are manufactured and packaged—often with striking artwork that makes them beloved by music enthusiasts today. Also included are four removable art prints, each representing a sample of album covers from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.

The association between periodontitis and systemic diseases has become a hot topic in recent years. This comprehensive book reviews the clinical evidence and biological plausibility of the many systemic diseases that have been linked to periodontitis. Edited by Dr Josefine Hirschfeld and Prof Iain L.C. Chapple, experts in each field discuss the mechanisms at work, citing the available key literature and clearly summarising current knowledge and understanding of the associations between periodontitis and diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney disease, inflammatory bowel diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, respiratory diseases, pregnancy and fertility, malignancy, neurodegenerative diseases, stress and depression, and autoimmunity. Each chapter critically appraises the existing evidence, providing comprehensive, contemporary and well-considered insights into the clinical evidence and biological plausibility of each condition, as well as the limitations of existing studies and how these can be overcome in the future. Periodontitis and Systemic Diseases: Clinical Evidence and Biological Plausibility is an indispensable reference for both clinicians and researchers.
An uplifting study of the scientific evidence for the afterlife from an experienced anesthesiologist/intensive care physician • Details meticulously recorded and hospital-verified cases of near-death experiences • Cites scientific research on NDEs to refute the standard objections of doubters and materialists point by point • Explores out-of-body experiences, sessions with mediums, electronic communication with the deceased, and other signs from the afterlife Over the course of his 25-year career as an anesthesiologist and intensive care physician, Jean Jacques Charbonier, M.D., gathered hundreds of accounts of patients who returned from clinical death.
