Understanding DNA, Molecule and How it Works Review:

Understanding DNA, Molecule and How it Works is a book about DNA, the most central substance in the workings of all life on Earth. It is a book about the way in which DNA works at a molecular level. We have used the title Understanding DNA… because our subject has now reached the stage where many aspects of it are well enough understood for us to be able to give a clear and uncluttered presentation of the main ideas. But we shall not disguise the fact that there is still a great deal which is not known or understood.
The book can be read at two different levels. First, it can be taken as an easy-to-read textbook for undergraduate or graduate students of chemistry and biology at university. Second, it may be read by ordinary people who have no prior knowledge of biochemistry, but who want to understand something of the fundamental processes of life. The sort of people we have in mind here are those who have learned something about DNA from popular magazines, newspapers, and TV programs. They know, for example, that DNA contains the ‘genes’ of classical genetics – those units of inheritance which pass on characteristics such as red hair or a long nose from parent to child, or even crippling diseases such as sickle-cell anemia or thalassemia.

Brain,Body and Mind Review:

Chapter 1:   Arguments that persons are constituted by their brains but are not identical to them. By showing that the mind is the product of interaction between and among the brain, body, and environment.
Chapter 2:  Arguments  that the findings from cognitive neuroscience do not show that free will is an illusion and point out flaws in the argument from illusion. The fact that a mental state or event has a physical cause in the brain does not imply that it is not among the causes of an action. Nor does it imply that our choices and actions are coerced, compelled, or constrained by normal brain processes.
Chapter 3: Arguing that neuroscience, in the form of neuroimaging, can inform but not determine whether an individual has the requisite mental capacity to be responsible for criminal behavior. 
Chapter 4: Examines claims by some philosophers and psychologists conducting functional neuroimaging experiments about the neural basis of moral intuitions and judgments. 
Chapter 5:  Is a discussion of the ethical aspects of cognitive enhancement. 
Chapter 6:  Discussing the respects in which individuals with these injuries survive or fail to survive them. Even when they survive, they may or may not benefit from medical interventions that keep them alive .
Chapter 7:  Considers the use of deep-brain stimulation as a treatment for neurological and psychiatric disorders. 
Chapter 8:  Examines neural stem-cell and molecular replacement therapy for neurodegenerative diseases and spinal cord injury.

Solar System History Review:

A History of the Solar System  is a full defination of our solar system, As we move with ever greater confidence between the planets, their moons, a few comets and asteroids, and some grains of dust, and prepare to enter interstellar space almost 20 billion km from Earth after a journey of 36 years at 61,000 km/hr, it seems a good moment to consider the history of the only planetary system we are currently capable of exploring in any detail. But the discovery of over two thousand planets which are orbiting stars other than our own Sun will undoubtedly spur humanity before long to find ways of visiting those alien worlds in one way or another. This short book outlines a story which spans 4.5 billion years and which is the fruit of a few millennia of naked eye observation, four centuries of squinting through telescopes, and sixty years informed by orbiting satellites and manned and unmanned probes and landers, profound laboratory studies, and imaginative hypotheses. My principal aim is to link events dating back billions of years which we can glimpse among the stars with our everyday concerns on Earth and to demonstrate that the solar system continues to evolve and diversify. Although the chapters are broadly in chronological order, I have tried to get away from the ‘one era after another’ scheme by devoting successive chapters to a brief history of ideas about the solar system; the raw materials of which the solar system is constructed; their assembly into solid, gaseous, and icy bodies; the evolution of the solar system’s key player, the Sun; the major changes undergone by the planets and moons after they had formed; the emergence of life; and some of the current changes that help us understand the solar system’s past. Some of the material is difficult but so is the subject matter, and the drift will usually be clear from the context. Above all, I hope to have conveyed the excitement and wonder that comes from looking up—at the sky and in the library.

Black's Medical Dictionary Review:

Black’s Medical Dictionary first appeared in 1906. That new century was to see health care in the United Kingdom evolve from a largely personal, paternalistic consultation between doctor and patient, based more on medical tradition than medical science, to a complex, science-based, team-oriented and managed service. Even so, the core of medical practice has survived: the face-to-face consultation between doctor and patient. But the nature of this core activity has been irreversibly altered by a shift in the ‘balance of power’ between the participants as patients became better informed about their health, illnesses and possible treatments. A significant catalyst in the emergence of the informed patient has been the media, including publications like this dictionary, the contents of which have during its 41 editions reflected these changes in medicine. 

One modest constant in this sea of change, however, has been the objective of Black’s Medical Dictionary. When launching the first edition, the editor, Edinburgh physician John D. Comrie, declared his aim as being to produce ‘a work which would occupy a position somewhere between that of a Technical Dictionary of Medicine and one intended merely for the domestic treatment of common ailments . . . [giving] information in simple language upon medical subjects of importance and general interest’. That initial mission statement underpins this first edition of the 21st century.
