  In this rich, irreverent, and compelling history, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Steven Weinberg takes us across centuries, from ancient Miletus to medieval Baghdad and Oxford, from Plato's Academy and the Museum of Alexandria to the cathedral school of Chartres and the Royal Society of London. He shows that the scientists of ancient and medieval times not only did not understand what we understand about the world-they did not understand what there is to understand or how to understand it. Yet over the centuries, through the struggle to solve such mysteries as the curious backward movement of the planets and the rise and fall of the tides, the modern discipline of science eventually emerged. Along the way, Weinberg examines historic clashes and collaborations between science and the competing spheres of religion, technology, poetry, mathematics, and philosophy.An illuminating exploration of the way we consider and analyze the world around us, To Explain the World is a sweeping, ambitious account of how difficult it was to discover the goals and methods of modern science, and the impact that this discovery had on human knowledge and development.

  Medical providers and specialists alike refer to Dr. Alexis as a "medical superhero" for sharing her journey to discover pain relief and a chemical-free "cure" from an obscure bladder disease that mainstream medicine states is "incurable."    On its surface, Interstitial Cystitis: A Personal Journey of COMPLETE Healing! is a book that speaks to the indomitable spirit of a patient, Tracy Alexis PhD, who suffered with (and cured) Interstitial Cystitis and Fibromyalgia with herbs and supplements.  However; the timing of this book and its enlightening "medical self-advocacy" section, specifically, could not be MORE providential as every-day Americans struggle to navigate a broken health care system that has become common fodder for political aggrandizement.  Hospitals are suing and bankrupting patients for astronomically high medical service charges that are not covered by a patient’s insurance, and doctors are equally crushed by the burdensome federally-regulated care and oversight of their patients.  This book – endorsed by doctors -  empowers its readers to stand up to America’s broken health care system…and prevail! Interstitial Cystitis: A Personal Journey of COMPLETE Healing! was written for both health care providers and patient-sufferers of IC (and Fibromyalgia) to bless those who suffer from so-called "diseases" many providers say are hopeless and incurable.

  The Mismeasure of Man

  When published in 1981, The Mismeasure of Man was immediately hailed as a masterwork, the ringing answer to those who would classify people, rank them according to their supposed genetic gifts and limits.Yet the idea of of biology as destiny dies hard, as witness the attention devoted to The Bell Curve, whose arguments are here so effectively anticipated and thoroughly undermined. In this edition, Stephen Jay Gould has written a substantial new introduction telling how and why he wrote the book and tracing the subsequent history of the controversy on innateness right through The Bell Curve. Further, he has added five essays on questions of The Bell Curve in particular and on race, racism, and biological determinism in general. These additions strengthen the book's claim to be, as Leo J. Kamin of Princeton University has said, "a major contribution toward deflating pseudo-biological 'explanations' of our present social woes."

  A veteran tells his story of suffering from traumatic brain injury—and finally finding relief.   Former Green Beret Andrew Marr served multiple tours of duty in Afghanistan—incurring dozens of traumatic brain injuries. It just about destroyed him and his family, and almost cost him his life.   After the military medical establishment repeatedly failed him, Marr called upon the initiative and determination that had served him as a warrior—and eventually triumphed with the help of an innovative doctor. As thousands of veterans, athletes, accident victims, and other TBI sufferers wallow in the wake of inadequate treatment—and in many tragic cases, turn to suicide—this book offers new hope and explains the science behind this very specific kind of healing, and why conventional protocols fail.   “Takes us from the battlefields of Afghanistan to Andrew’s unrelenting battle to be whole again . . . a raw reminder that even in a brain injured state, the mind can clearly triumph.” —Joe Rogan
