Medical Apartheid is the first and only comprehensive history of medical experimentation on African Americans. Starting with the earliest encounters between black Americans and Western medical researchers and the racist pseudoscience that resulted, it details the ways both slaves and freedmen were used in hospitals for experiments conducted without their knowledge-a tradition that continues today within some black populations. It reveals how blacks have historically been prey to grave-robbing as well as unauthorized autopsies and dissections. Moving into the twentieth century, it shows how the pseudoscience of eugenics and social Darwinism were used to justify experimental exploitation and shoddy medical treatment of blacks.The product of years of prodigious research into medical journals and experimental reports long undisturbed, Medical Apartheid reveals the hidden underbelly of scientific research and makes possible, for the first time, an understanding of the roots of the African American health deficit.Show book
A straightforward and fact-based exploration of how weather happens, how it relates to climate, and how science answers major questions about Earth as a system Climate change is one of the most hotly contested environmental topics of our day. To answer criticisms and synthesize available information, scientists have been driven to devise increasingly complex models of the climate system. This book conveys that the basics of climate and climate change have been known for decades, and that relatively simple descriptions can capture the major features of the climate system and help the general public understand what controls climate and weather, and how both might be changing. Renowned environmental scientist and educator John D. Aber distills what he has learned from a long fascination with weather and climate, the process of science, and the telling of the story of science. This is not a book about policies and politics. Instead, it explores how weather happens, how it relates to climate, and how science has been used to answer major questions about the Earth as a system and inform policies that have reversed environmental degradation. By providing a guided tour of the science of weather, this thoughtful survey will contribute clarity and rationality to the public understanding of climate change.Show book

Medical Medium Liver Rescue | Book Summary Medical science and research are yet to truly understand or even scratch the surface of what causes many of the health issues currently plaguing humans. In the book “Medical Medium Liver Rescue”, Anthony William seeks to educate the reader on steps to take towards understanding various disorders as well as how to embark on recovering from them. He does this by emphasizing the need for us to take good care of our livers. Many of the health conditions we encounter can be traced to this organ. A sluggish and contaminated liver opens up the way for toxins in it to enter our bloodstream and flow into the rest of our bodies. Anthony takes us through the peacekeeping role the liver plays. Even though we do not pay the liver much attention, the organ is responsible for causing or eliminating health conditions such as diabetes, depression, eczema, psoriasis, adrenal problems, etc. All these are liver-related problems, and we can tackle them by giving the liver what it needs to function correctly. This book contains a comprehensive, well detailed summary and key takeaways of the original book by Anthony William.
