  The New Creationism - Building...

  The academic culture in which science is practiced today is one of tacit - if not explicit - atheism. Nowhere is this more evident than in the scientific study of how the universe began and developed - the field of origins. This book has been written in the conviction that the first eleven chapters of the book of Genesis - the Bible's book of beginnings - provide a trustworthy and accurate account of the early history of the universe. In the increasingly secular age in which we live, it is all too easy to forget that the major disciplines of science were founded by men of broadly Christian convictions. Their names are perhaps familiar to us - Boyle, Ray, Hooke, Newton, Faraday - but there is often an embarrassed silence concerning the spiritual beliefs that motivated these scientific giants. Like the astronomer, Kepler, these men perceived that in their scientific insights they were thinking God's thoughts after him'. Today, however, there is a sense of collective amnesia about the religious motivations of these men.

  Zoopathology - Animal Diseases:...

  Zoopathology is the branch of veterinary science that focuses on the study of diseases affecting animals in the wild. This field plays a crucial role in understanding how diseases emerge, spread, and impact wildlife populations. It also explores the complex interactions between animals, pathogens, and their environments. In essence, zoopathology is essential for safeguarding wildlife health, preventing disease outbreaks, and maintaining biodiversity. This chapter aims to introduce the foundational concepts and importance of zoopathology, as well as the role of zoopathologists in wildlife health management. 
  At its core, zoopathology examines the nature and cause of diseases affecting animals in their natural habitats. Unlike traditional veterinary medicine, which deals primarily with domesticated animals, zoopathology is concerned with wild species that often face different environmental challenges and stressors. These animals are exposed to a wide range of pathogens, from viruses and bacteria to parasites and fungi, all of which can have devastating effects on their populations. Understanding the mechanisms behind these diseases is critical for developing effective strategies to control their spread. 
  One of the key aspects of zoopathology is its interdisciplinary nature. It draws from various fields, including microbiology, epidemiology, ecology, and genetics. By integrating knowledge from these areas, zoopathologists are able to identify the underlying causes of disease outbreaks, track their transmission, and predict their future course. This helps inform conservation efforts, as well as public health initiatives aimed at preventing zoonotic diseases—those that can be transmitted from animals to humans.

  The ADHD Consultation Hour ADHD...

  The first edition of the 'small ADHD consultation', published in 2014, was originally created to provide my patients with a quick overview of the broad field of ADHD symptoms in adults as summarised as possible. It was important to me to integrate accompanying disorders and therapeutic options such as medication and coaching strategies. It is not uncommon for the underlying ADHD symptoms to be masked by disorders that develop later (such as obsessive thinking, anxiety, panic attacks and addictions). Only abnormalities in childhood, such as dreaminess or motor restlessness with impulsiveness, allow conclusions to be drawn. Patients and friends were kind enough to embellish this book with their contributions, sketches, pictures and poems. The significantly expanded 3rd edition of the 'Little ADHD Consultation' is due to the increased needs and demands of my patients and the new findings concerning ADHD. New topics such as neurofeedback, medication overview, neurobiological aspects and autistic accompanying phenomena as well as legal aspects and cannabis medication have been included. I wish you many A-HA experiences with this expansion.

  The Fourth History of Man

  In the spirit of medieval writer Chaucer, all human activity lies within the artist’s scope, the History of Man Series uses medicine as a jumping off point to explore precisely that, all history, all science, all human activity since the beginning of time. The jumping off style of writing takes the reader, the listener into worlds unknown, always returning to base, only to jump off again. History of Man are stories and tales of nearly everything. 
  The Fourth History of Man continues with virus infections where The Third History of Man left off hashing-out those specks of genetic schmutz, covering the R-naught of those naughty infectious scoundrels. Some big hitters will be considered, from polio and the famous celebrities that had it, through fifty shades of hepatitis, rabies and the hair of the dog, and the monkey business of HIV and AIDS. Leaving viruses, we’ll delve into a study of parasites, including the parasite of all parasites, Sigourney Weaver’s alien. Opening up a can-of-worms we’ll launch a nerd rumble: who would win between Weaver’s Alien and Schwarzenegger’s Predator. Other topics include the sociology of a social death preceding the actual death, the sociology of sexual cannibalism, and the sociology of colors, not just of yellow fever, but of other emotions under the rainbow, hopefully not making you feel positively blue. On the science side we’ll flip the script on the infamous Krebs cycle fleeced of the boring jargon that usually flows from the lecture hall and our road will scrutinize nuclear bombs, nuclear footballs and weapons of mass destruction, the secret of Ondine’s curse, and lessons in global warming.
