  Entrepreneurial science is not new; business interests have strongly influenced science since the Scientific Revolution. In Commercial Visions, Dániel Margócsy illustrates that product marketing, patent litigation, and even ghostwriting pervaded natural history and medicine—the “big sciences” of the early modern era—and argues that the growth of global trade during the Dutch Golden Age gave rise to an entrepreneurial network of transnational science.             Margócsy introduces a number of natural historians, physicians, and curiosi in Amsterdam, London, St. Petersburg, and Paris who, in their efforts to boost their trade, developed modern taxonomy, invented color printing and anatomical preparation techniques, and contributed to philosophical debates on topics ranging from human anatomy to Newtonian optics. These scientific practitioners, including Frederik Ruysch and Albertus Seba, were out to do business: they produced and sold exotic curiosities, anatomical prints, preserved specimens, and atlases of natural history to customers all around the world. Margócsy reveals how their entrepreneurial rivalries transformed the scholarly world of the Republic of Letters into a competitive marketplace.             Margócsy’s highly readable and engaging book will be warmly welcomed by anyone interested in early modern science, global trade, art, and culture.

  This book is an important book for all cancer and non- cancer patients looking for solution and also for those who knows the importance of avoiding what could trigger lung cancer in them, as it has uncovered the holy grail those who want to optimize their chances for cure have been seeking. This book is filled with important information for everyone, whether struggling with cancer or not.Lung tumour causes mutations in cells. Typically, your body programs cells to die at a particular stage in their life cycle to avoid overgrowth. Malignancy overrides this training, leading to cells overdevelopment and multiplying when they shouldn't; the growth of cells leads to the introduction of tumours and the harmful effects of cancer. In lung cancer, this design of cell overgrowth occurs in the lungs (essential organs for breathing and gas exchange); doctors typically diagnose two lung cancer types, small cell, and non-small cell, depending on how they appear under a microscope. One is much more likely to have non-small cell lung malignancy than a low cell.However, anyone taking tobacco and constant contact with smoke can boost the likelihood of developing lungs tumour. Lungs cancer can also be improved if one has a brief history of contact with inhaled chemicals or other poisons; even if this contact with chemicals and other toxins was in the past, it might cause changes in lung cells that lead to tumour.This book will walk you through what to do to avoid lung cancer and also what to do to get better if you have lung cancer.

  All Fishermen Are Liars

  For John Gierach, "the master of fly-fishing" (Sacramento Bee), fishing is always the answer-even when it's not clear what the question is. In All Fishermen Are Liars, Gierach travels around North America seeking out quintessential fishing experiences, whether it's at a busy stream or a secluded lake hidden amid snow-capped mountains. He talks about the art of fly-tying and the quest for the perfect steelhead fly ("The Nuclear Option"), about fishing in the Presidential Pools previously fished by the elder George Bush ("I wondered briefly if I'd done something karmically disastrous and was now fated to spend the rest of my life breathing the exhaust of this elderly Republican"), and the importance of traveling with like-minded companions when caught in a soaking rain ("At this point someone is required to say, 'You know, there are people who wouldn't think this is fun'"). And though Gierach loses some fish along the way, he never loses his passion and sense of humor.Wry, contemplative, and lively-that is to say, pure Gierach-All Fishermen Are Liars is a joy to listen to-and, as always, the next best thing to fishing itself.
