Beschreibung

In "On the Reception of the 'Origin of Species,'" Thomas Henry Huxley delivers a compelling exploration of the contentious debates surrounding Charles Darwin's groundbreaking theory of evolution. Drawing from a wealth of historical context, Huxley meticulously dissects the reactions—both fervent support and vehement opposition—that the publication of Darwin's work inspired among contemporaries. His eloquent prose, rich with scientific clarity and philosophical insight, serves to illuminate the intellectual climate of Victorian England, as he positions himself not only as a supporter of Darwin's theories but also as a pivotal figure in the discourse on evolution, ethics, and the nature of scientific inquiry. Huxley's treatise is distinguished by its analytical rigor and persuasive argumentation, making it an essential text for understanding the evolution of scientific thought in the 19th century. As a prominent biologist and a staunch advocate for Darwinian thought, Huxley was often referred to as

    The first comprehensive history of "psychiatry's bible"—the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. 
     
     
     
    Over the past seventy years, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM, has evolved from a virtually unknown and little-used pamphlet to an imposing and comprehensive compendium of mental disorder. Its nearly 300 conditions have become the touchstones for the diagnoses that patients receive, students are taught, researchers study, insurers reimburse, and drug companies promote. Although the manual is portrayed as an authoritative corpus of psychiatric knowledge, it is a product of intense political conflicts, dissension, and factionalism. The manual results from struggles among psychiatric researchers and clinicians, different mental health professions, and a variety of patient, familial, feminist, gay, and veterans' interest groups. The DSM is fundamentally a social document that both reflects and shapes the professional, economic, and cultural forces associated with its use. 
     
     
     
    In DSM, Allan V. Horwitz examines how the manual, known colloquially as "psychiatry's bible," has been at the center of thinking about mental health in the United States since its original publication in 1952.

    WITH A FOREWORD FROM DAVE ASPREY, founder of Bulletproof 360, Inc and New York Times bestselling author  
    The practical guide to how to reverse polycystic kidney diseases, usually considered chronic and progressive, through a ketogenic diet and biohacker principles. 
    A unique guide to the strategies developed by Felix Mueller, expert patient, influencer and author, over the past nine years to reverse his own polycystic kidney disease, as well as that of numerous clients and followers. The book shows the simple and easy diet and lifestyle changes that PKD patients – written off as ‘incurable’ – can make to radically prolong their time to, or even completely stave off, dialysis or transplant, and explains the scientific backgrounds of why this approach works according to emerging, as well as long-established, science. The audiobook includes practical tips, daily routines, recipes, and a whole week meal plan as well as survival strategies for traveling and eating out without sacrificing kidney health in the process. Listeners will learn that, contrary to popular belief, having PKD does not mean living in constant nutrient deficiency, but that food abundance can also lead to better health and even achieving the ultimate goal: drastically improving their kidney function and even size. 
    "Felix’s story is a vivid illustration of how the principles of biohacking can be tailored to improve even genetic conditions which some people believe to be incurable. By harnessing a state of intermittent ketosis and fasting combined with highly nutritious foods, he has uncovered a profound truth: our genetic destiny is not a script that is set in stone but a narrative that we can rewrite with the right diet, lifestyle and supplementation."―Dave Asprey, author of The New York Times Bestseller The Bulletproof diet
