Biological Science - Exploring...

Jeron Iris

This bundle contains 4 titles, which are the following:
Astrobiology - With fascinating insights into the building blocks of life, planetary habitability, and the latest advancements in space exploration, this guide reveals how scientists are pushing the boundaries of knowledge to find evidence of life elsewhere. This comprehensive guide brings together the latest research in chemistry, planetary science, and evolutionary biology, offering readers a glimpse into the potential forms that extraterrestrial life might take and what discovering it would mean for humanity.
Biology - At its core, biology explores the characteristics of life, which include organization, metabolism, homeostasis, growth, reproduction, response to stimuli, and adaptation. All living organisms share these characteristics, though they may express them in various ways. From the microscopic bacteria that live in the soil to the complex human body, biological processes are at work, and each organism plays a part in maintaining the balance of ecosystems.
Genetics - Each organism's genetic material is contained within its cells, and it is organized into structures called chromosomes. In humans, for example, there are 23 pairs of chromosomes, with one set inherited from each parent. Within these chromosomes are thousands of genes, each responsible for specific traits. These traits can range from eye color and blood type to more complex characteristics like susceptibility to certain diseases.
Microbiology - Microbiology is the branch of science that deals with the study of microorganisms, which are organisms that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, fungi, algae, and protozoa. Although these tiny life forms are invisible to the unaided eye, they play a vital role in the environment, human health, and various industrial processes.

Imperfect Heart - Stories of...

Jeff Holden

This book offers an in-depth exploration of a potentially life-threatening congenital heart condition known as a myocardial bridge, a condition present in roughly one in four people, though only a small percentage experience symptoms. The author, who has firsthand experience with the condition and its surgical treatment, provides a unique perspective on living with and overcoming this often misunderstood malady. 
Drawing from transcripts of the podcast of the same name, the book includes compelling interviews with leading cardiac surgeons specializing in the controversial "unroofing" procedure, as well as stories from patients who have undergone the surgery. Together, these narratives paint a comprehensive picture of the procedure’s success and its life-changing, potentially life-saving effects on those treated. 
 Beyond personal and patient stories, the book challenges traditional medical approaches to diagnosing and treating myocardial bridges. It advocates for a shift in how the medical community views this condition, aiming to improve diagnosis and treatment options while offering hope to those struggling with symptoms. 
With its blend of personal insight, expert commentary, and patient experiences, this book seeks to educate, inspire, and transform the conversation around myocardial bridges.

The Social Genome - The New...

Dalton Conley

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.
