  Weren't they richer, rock pools, wasn't the seashore busier, when I was a kid?
  
  Richard Smyth had always been drawn to the natural world, but when he became a father he found a new joy and a new urgency in showing his kids the everyday wild things around them. As he and his children explore rockpools in Whitley Bay, or the woods and moors near his Yorkshire home, he imagines the world they might inhabit as they grow up.
  
  Through different objects discovered on their wanderings - a beech leaf, a jay feather, a limpetshell - Smyth examines his own past as well as that of the early natural historians, weaving together history, memoir, and environmentalism to form a new kind of nature writing: one that asks both what we have lost, and what we have yet to find.

  Urology - The Urinary System and...

  Urology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases and disorders affecting the urinary system and male reproductive organs. This field encompasses a wide range of conditions, from common urinary tract infections (UTIs) to complex kidney diseases, bladder dysfunction, and cancers of the urinary and reproductive systems. Urologists are trained medical professionals who employ both medical and surgical techniques to address these conditions, ensuring optimal urinary and reproductive health for their patients. 
  The history of urology dates back to ancient civilizations, where early physicians recognized the importance of urinary function and attempted to treat urinary ailments with rudimentary tools and herbal remedies. Over time, the field has evolved significantly, with groundbreaking discoveries in anatomy, physiology, and medical technology. The development of endoscopic procedures, minimally invasive surgeries, and robotic-assisted techniques has revolutionized the way urological diseases are diagnosed and treated, improving patient outcomes and reducing recovery times. 
  A fundamental aspect of urology is understanding the intricate structure and function of the urinary system. This system comprises the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, all working together to filter waste from the blood, regulate fluid balance, and expel urine from the body. In addition to the urinary system, urology also involves the male reproductive system, which includes the testes, prostate gland, seminal vesicles, and associated structures responsible for sperm production and hormone regulation. Given the close relationship between urinary and reproductive health, urologists play a crucial role in addressing conditions such as male infertility, erectile dysfunction, and prostate disorders.

  Cleaner Mouth Longer Life - What...

  Brushing and flossing are essential components of dental health, but that is not what this book is about! According to Dr. Garcia, a clean mouth becomes “dirty” because of the things done to it or placed in it by conventional dental practices. That’s because traditional dentistry is primarily concerned with pain and appearance. No one likes an aching tooth – it often drives us to the dentist in the first place. And we all want perfectly arranged pearly whites with no gaps. These are not wrong desires, but without proper concern for the patient’s health beyond the oral cavity, long-term damage can be done to vitality and length of life. Teeth, gums, and jawbone are connected to the rest of the body through the circulatory system, the lymphatic system, the digestive system, the respiratory system, and the nervous system. That means that what happens in the mouth never stays there. The materials and procedures used to produce a great-looking smile often dump toxins, pathogens, and other stresses on the oral tissues and the rest of the body that wreak havoc in many places. As a holistic dentist, Dr. Garcia can guide you into good choices about your dental care that will not sacrifice either a good-looking smile or your overall health and longevity. As you’ll soon see, a cleaner mouth does promote a longer life!

  In this exploration of the concept of the gene, Jonathan Slack looks at the discovery, nature, and role of genes in both evolution and development. Explaining the nature of genetic variation in the human population, how hereditary factors were identified as molecules of DNA, and how certain specific mutations can lead to disease, Slack highlights how DNA variants are used to trace human ancestry and migration, and can also be used by forensic scientists to identify individuals in crime. Slack also explores issues such as the role of genetic heritability and IQ as well as the changes that occur in the genes of populations during evolution. 
   
   
   
  An ideal guide for anyone curious about what genes are and how genetics can be put to use, this Very Short Introduction demonstrates the ways in which the gene concept has been understood and used by molecular biologists, population biologists, and social scientists around the world.
