Sinossi

"Scientific Minds" explores the lives and groundbreaking achievements of pioneering scientists, revealing what drives individuals to dedicate themselves to expanding our understanding of the world. The book illustrates how scientific innovation is often a collaborative effort, building upon previous discoveries, and highlights the vital roles of observation, experimentation, and theory in scientific progress.

 
Readers will discover how figures like Marie Curie, whose research on radioactivity revolutionized medicine and physics, faced skepticism and adversity while pushing the boundaries of knowledge. The book presents in-depth profiles, examining each scientist's early life, formative experiences, key discoveries, and lasting impact. For example, the book delves into Alan Turing's theoretical contributions to computer science and codebreaking efforts, while also exploring the challenges Charles Darwin faced in introducing his theory of evolution by natural selection.

 
By incorporating excerpts from letters and diaries, "Scientific Minds" offers a direct connection to the scientists' thought processes. Structured to provide a comprehensive overview of scientific milestones, the book begins by introducing core principles of scientific inquiry and establishing a historical framework. It draws connections between science, history, and sociology to offer a holistic perspective on the scientific endeavor, emphasizing the social impact of scientific discoveries. By avoiding excessive jargon, "Scientific Minds" remains accessible to a broad audience interested in science, biography, and the history of scientific exploration.

    Hepatitis is a term that refers to inflammation of the liver, a vital organ responsible for over 500 essential functions in the human body. These include processing nutrients, filtering toxins from the blood, and producing proteins necessary for blood clotting. When the liver becomes inflamed or damaged, these critical functions are compromised, often leading to serious health consequences. Hepatitis can arise from a variety of causes, including viral infections, excessive alcohol consumption, certain medications, and autoimmune disorders. 
    Among the most common causes of hepatitis are viruses, which account for the five primary types of the disease: hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. Each of these types has distinct modes of transmission, risk factors, and health outcomes. Some forms of hepatitis, like hepatitis A, are acute and self-limiting, while others, such as hepatitis B and C, can become chronic, leading to long-term complications like liver cirrhosis and cancer. The global impact of hepatitis is staggering, with millions of new cases reported annually and countless individuals living with chronic liver disease. 
    This book aims to provide a comprehensive guide to understanding, preventing, and managing hepatitis and related liver conditions. Whether you are seeking to protect yourself and your loved ones through preventative measures, coping with a recent diagnosis, or managing chronic liver disease, this resource is designed to offer practical advice, clear explanations, and up-to-date medical insights.

    American tackle football is an industry like any other. And like many industries, it sells a product that is dangerous to those who use it—or, in this case, those who play it. Daniel S. Goldberg explores the connections among traumatic brain injury, collision sports, and the industry's continuing efforts to manufacture doubt. Focusing especially on youths and adolescents—the most vulnerable population that comprises over 99% of tackle football players in the US—Goldberg addresses the ethical and social implications of their participation in tackle football. 
     
     
     
    As the tackle football industry has consistently worked to mask the health hazards, it has used a particular tool that has proved highly effective in achieving this subterfuge: the manufacture of doubt. Goldberg advocates for using public health laws as a tool for countering these efforts at obfuscation, and he outlines specific policy proposals intended to address the population health and ethical problems presented by tackle football. 
     
     
     
    The book draws on public health ethics, public health law, and the histories of occupational and public health to assess the limits of parental choice to expose their children to risks of injury. Chris Nowinski, former Harvard football player and WWE wrestler, provides a timely and insider's perspective on these critical issues in the foreword.
