Robert Weinberg explains how normal genes control the conventional growth of the cell, how, in their mutated form, they enable cancers to arise, and why these genes have such life-and-death power over us.

The life of Sara Louisa, Lady Blomfield, spanned one of the most exciting periods in human history - the last half of the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries and the social and political developments that defined the era: the suffragist movement, the rise of eastern religious thought, Theosophy and spiritualism in Europe, the First World War, modernization. She experienced the poverty of rural Ireland and the ceremony of the royal court in London. Beyond this, Lady Blomfield was one of the most socially distinguished adherents of the Baha'i Faith, moving in social circles that included royalty, members of government and the celebrities of the day. She was the gracious and generous hostess to 'Abdu'l Baha on His historic visits to London in 1911 and 1912-13 and was a chronicler of Baha'i history in her book The Chosen Highway."
The truth about superpowers . . . science fact or science fiction? Superman, Batman, The X-Men, Flash, Spider Man . . . they protect us from evildoers, defend truth and justice, and, occasionally, save our planet from certain doom. Yet, how much do we understand about their powers? In this engaging yet serious work, Lois Gresh and Robert Weinberg attempt to answer that question once and for all. From X-ray vision to psychokinesis, invisibility to lightspeed locomotion, they take a hard, scientific look at the powers possessed by all of our most revered superheroes, and a few of the lesser ones, in an attempt to sort fact from fantasy. In the process, they unearth some shocking truths that will unsettle, alarm, and even terrify all but the most fiendish of supervillains.
