Beschreibung

In "The Effect of External Influences upon Development," August Weismann presents a groundbreaking exploration of the interplay between environmental factors and biological development. Through a meticulous examination of various species, Weismann employs a scientific yet accessible literary style that bridges both natural history and biology, reflective of the dynamic intellectual debates of the late 19th century. He challenges the predominant Lamarckian views of inheritance by arguing for the primacy of genetic determinants, setting the stage for modern evolutionary thought and emphasizing the importance of separating the effects of nature and nurture in the context of organismal development. August Weismann was a pivotal figure in the history of biology, best known for his germ plasm theory, which fundamentally altered the understanding of heredity and evolution. His rigorous studies in zoology and botany, as well as his interactions with leading contemporaries, such as Charles Darwin, influenced his pursuit to uncover the mechanisms by which external influences shape biological forms. This background equipped Weismann with a critical perspective, propelling him to challenge established norms and seek a deeper understanding of the biological world. This book is an essential read for those interested in evolutionary biology, genetics, and the history of scientific thought. Weismann's insights remain influential today, offering a vital perspective for anyone wishing to grasp the complexities of development and inheritance. Scholarly yet approachable, it invites readers to contemplate the profound implications of environmental influences while appreciating the beauty and intricacies of life.

    Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect nearly every organ and tissue in the body. It occurs when the immune system, which is meant to protect the body from foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses, mistakenly attacks healthy tissues. This malfunction leads to inflammation and damage in various parts of the body, including the skin, joints, kidneys, heart, and lungs. The unpredictable nature of lupus, with periods of flare-ups followed by remissions, makes it particularly difficult to diagnose and manage. 
    Understanding lupus is critical because, despite its widespread prevalence, many people are still unaware of its complexities. The disease often manifests in diverse ways, ranging from mild symptoms to life-threatening conditions. Because lupus shares symptoms with other diseases, it can be challenging to diagnose in its early stages. This makes awareness and early recognition essential for effective management and treatment.

    “A fascinating exploration of the mysteries ignited by DNA genealogy testing—from the intensely personal and concrete to the existential and unsolvable.” —Tana French, New York Times–bestselling author  
     
    You swab your cheek or spit in a vial, then send it away to a lab somewhere. Weeks later you get a report that might tell you where your ancestors came from or if you carry certain genetic risks. Or, the report could reveal a long-buried family secret that upends your entire sense of identity. Soon a lark becomes an obsession, a relentless drive to find answers to questions at the core of your being, like “Who am I?” and “Where did I come from?” Welcome to the age of home genetic testing. 
     
    In The Lost Family, journalist Libby Copeland investigates what happens when we embark on a vast social experiment with little understanding of the ramifications. She explores the culture of genealogy buffs, the science of DNA, and the business of companies like Ancestry and 23andMe, all while tracing the story of one woman, her unusual results, and a relentless methodical drive for answers that becomes a thoroughly modern genetic detective story. Gripping and masterfully told, The Lost Family is a spectacular book on a big, timely subject.

    Have you been wondering about the big issues dominating the news? Is climate change a massive threat or not? What is really going on with immigration? More importantly, how did American politics become so divided and hostile?  What if we approached American social, cultural and political problems from a purely rational perspective? What if we focus on functional systems instead of division? Careful analysis of readily available data can help us discover patterns and uncover the real issues. An engineering perspective allows us to focus on what needs to be fixed rather than ideological divisions.  
       Finally, one of America's top engineers has brought these topics and others together in a thought-provoking book. This book is rooted in history, facts, and logic, and it lays out solutions to America's problems. A book focused to get Americans talking to one another again, so we can rise to the occasion and solve today's problems together.  
        William Taggart has over thirty years as a professional engineer in industry. He has travelled the world, building some of industry’s biggest projects and solving some of their thorniest problems. Now, he has applied analytical skills developed in industry, coupled with his natural inquisitiveness and thirst for creative solutions, to the problems of modern-day American politics. Seeking answers to questions many of us have been asking, he has focused his keen mind on researching these, and other big issues. He invites everyone to think about what America really needs.
