  Finding Genius: Understanding...

  This book is for three kinds of audiences: 1) curious amateurs interested in science or overall wellness, 2) anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer or knows someone who has, and 3) medical, bioengineering, or other professionals who have a general knowledge of and curiosity about any or all aspects of cancer biology and treatment, but who are not experts in the field. 
  This book is the result of 70+ interviews of genius-level medical and science professionals, primarily in cancer biology, research, and medicine. They have all been asked the same set of questions, and have answered to the best of their ability and knowledge. 
  What you’re about to read is the answers to these questions, not from all the individuals, but from the most interesting 4 to 9 who answered each question. 
  At the start of my journey in science, I already had a B.S. in Chemical Engineering, but that was from 1998, certainly not 2016 when I started. Reading scientific papers was difficult at first – I understood about 10% of what I was reading. As I interviewed more scientists, researchers, clinicians and others, I started to pick up the vocabulary and thinking process needed to read scientific papers. 
  After a year of reading, my comprehension increased, and now stands at around 70%, typically. In the areas of physics or other sciences in which I’m not conversant, I understand about 30%. In advanced math, since it’s a language unto itself, especially at high levels, I am back to the 10% level. Apply yourself, and you’ll be surprised by what you can learn in a year’s time.

  "I'm sorry, it's cancer."
  Four words with the power to upend your entire existence and thrust you into an emotional whirlwind. As these words unravel, they unleash trauma, chaos, and threats to every facet of life – from health and body image to relationships, job, career, and future dreams. Thoughts swirl: What did I do so wrong to deserve this? How am I going to survive? Is my body going to be mutilated?
  Agalia Baker, a retired advanced practice nurse with over forty years of experience, found herself shockingly unprepared when diagnosed with breast cancer. Searching for solace from the emotional hell she endured and unable to find answers, she took it upon herself to write the book she desperately needed during that challenging time. The result is an irreverent blend of healthcare insights and a personal journey seen through her eyes.
  As Baker grapples with the emotional aftermath of her diagnosis, treatment, and failed reconstructive surgery, she unveils how the losses incurred due to breast cancer are intricately tied to the grieving process. Harnessing this information and understanding the body's natural defenses in response to threat is vital to withstanding the challenges facing someone in the midst of their own journey. This knowledge becomes a lifeline, empowering individuals to withstand the storm and make informed decisions during such a pivotal time.

  Life Between the Tides

  Inside each rockpool, tucked into one of the infinite crevices of the tidal coastline, lies a rippling, silent, unknowable universe. Below the stillness of the surface course different currents of endless motion—the ebb and flow of the tide, the steady forward propulsion of the passage of time, and the tiny lifetimes of its creatures, all of which coalesce into the grand narrative of evolution. 
   
   
   
  In Life Between the Tides, Adam Nicolson investigates one of the most revelatory habitats on earth. Under his microscope, we see a prawn's head become a medieval helmet and a group of "winkles" transform a Dickensian social scene, with mollusks munching on Stilton and glancing at their pocket watches. Or, rather, is a winkle more like Achilles, an ancient hero, throwing himself toward death for the sake of glory? For Nicolson, the world of the rockpools is infinite and as intricate as our own. 
   
   
   
  As Nicolson journeys between the tides, both in the pools he builds along the coast of Scotland and through the timeline of scientific discovery, he is accompanied by great thinkers. We meet Virginia Woolf and her Waves; a young T. S. Eliot peering into his own rockpool in Massachusetts. And, of course, scientists populate the pages; not only their discoveries, but also their doubts and errors, their moments of quiet observation and their realizations.
