  A pioneering scientist presents a mind-expanding account of the sociogenomics revolution, which promises to upend everything we know about human development. 
   
   
   
  Sociogenomics brings together advances in molecular genetics and traditional social and behavioral science. The key tool is the polygenic index, which allows us to analyze DNA to measure a child's genetic potential. Today, we can estimate a child's adult height, how far they will go in school, and their weight as an adult—all from a cheek swab, finger prick, or vial of saliva. Dalton Conley and other researchers are using this new science to shed light on the ways in which genes shape our world, influencing how each person both creates and responds to the environment around them. Conley reveals a world where children's DNA influences the nurture they extract from their parents; the genes of our schoolmates affect our likelihood of smoking as much as our own DNA does; and spouses' genes influence each other's moods and behaviors. 
   
   
   
  The Social Genome presents a nuanced, powerful perspective on individual potential and social dynamics and raises critical ethical questions about how we will navigate a future where we have access to far more genetic information than ever before.

  "Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison: The Rival Inventors Who Powered the Modern Era" is an enthralling two-in-one volume that unites the remarkable stories of two of history's most extraordinary inventors. Authored by Michael W. Simmons, this composite work weaves together the parallel narratives of Tesla and Edison, whose innovations and rivalry forged the path of the technological age. 
  The first section, derived from "Nikola Tesla: Prophet of The Modern Technological Age," immerses readers in the mysterious and groundbreaking world of Nikola Tesla. Renowned for inventions like the induction motor and contributions to electrical engineering, Tesla's life was filled with achievements that bordered on the magical. This book takes readers from Tesla's extraordinary childhood experiences in Croatia, through his fierce competition with Edison, to his ambitious projects that revolutionized technology and occasionally, like in New York, almost literally shook the world. Relationships with key figures such as Mark Twain, J.P. Morgan, and Albert Einstein are explored, revealing the depth of Tesla's impact in various spheres. 
  Transitioning to "Thomas Edison: American Inventor," the second section of the book, readers encounter the quintessential story of American innovation. Edison's journey from conducting experiments in his youth to inventing the phonograph and the incandescent light bulb is a testament to his inventive genius. Through Edison’s personal writings and contemporary accounts, the book vividly brings to life the experience of witnessing Edison's inventions for the first time. His friendships with notable individuals like Henry Ford and his wartime efforts offer a comprehensive view of a man whose inventions illuminated the world. 
  Together, these stories form "Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison a compelling narrative.

  The Shocking Truth about Medical...

  Medical innovation has long been a driving force behind longer life expectancy, improved quality of life, and the eradication of once-deadly diseases. From antibiotics and vaccines to robotic surgery and gene editing, the rapid advancement of medical technology has saved countless lives. Yet, behind every breakthrough lies a complex web of ethical dilemmas, financial motivations, and unforeseen consequences. While many medical innovations deliver on their promise, others have caused more harm than good, raising critical questions about the true cost of progress.  
    
  History has shown that not all medical advancements are as beneficial as they seem at first glance. Some treatments that were once hailed as revolutionary later proved to be disastrous. For example, the introduction of thalidomide in the late 1950s as a treatment for morning sickness led to severe birth defects in thousands of newborns. Likewise, the opioid crisis, fueled by the aggressive marketing of painkillers as “safe and non-addictive,” has devastated millions of lives worldwide. These examples highlight the darker side of medical innovation—where rushed approvals, corporate interests, and inadequate regulation can turn hopeful breakthroughs into public health disasters.  
    
  At the heart of this issue is the tension between progress and safety. In the race to bring new treatments and technologies to market, are we sacrificing patient well-being in favor of speed and profit? The pharmaceutical industry, medical device manufacturers, and even hospitals often prioritize financial gain over patient outcomes. Meanwhile, regulatory agencies such as the FDA and the World Health Organization struggle to keep up with the sheer volume of new developments, sometimes failing to catch risks before they reach the public.
