Seeds of Deception: Exposing Industry and Government Lies About the Safety of the Genetically Engineered Foods You're Eating - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: I usually buy my books at Amazon, but since I was in Borders, I decided to skim through it to see if it was worth buying for a detailed read. By training, I'm an engineer, but I did a stint in biochemical research, so I think I'm on pretty firm ground in reviewing this collection of propaganda and bad science. Here's what you need to know about the entire subject of genetically modified organisms or genetic engineering without reading this annoyingly inaccurate book: We don't know what we don't know. That's it. GMOs and the entire discipline of GE could be an accident waiting to happen. Or it could be that one day... in the future...it could help the world in one way or another, but we just don't have enough information. So at this point everyone is "talking their book." It's like our current (American) political situation. If you're a Democrat anything a Republican says can be summarily dismissed just because they are not Democats...and of course, vice versa...even if what the other person says is fact. So scientists from companies like Monsanto will talk up all the benefits of their research...and how utterly safe and completely tested their products are...and scientists working for groups that are against this ...for monetary or other reasons, will only offer doomsday scenarios. But neither side has any clue. Remember, there was a time when "we" all believed that the Earth was flat, and that the Sun revolved about the Earth...and scientists at that time could prove it. Just before we set off the first nuclear weapon, there were scientists who were concerned that this thing, this nuclear thing, if allowed to be detonated would ignite the atmosphere with catastrophic results. it's not that they were wrong, it's that we got lucky. There just was no way that the bomb was not going to be set off...."too much was at stake"....whatever that means. If you really want to learn about genetic engineering...and you want to teach the entire family about it,in a relatively PG environment, go to your DVD collection, or your friendly online streaming facility and watch Jurassic Park - the original...and pay careful attention to the movie that they watch in the beginning and to Jeff Goldblum's character, Ian Malcolm. The movie has pretty good science - especially the prescient comment by Malcolm that "Nature finds a way." My only concern at this point is that there is an effort afoot (by powerful interests, of course) to stop the labeling of GE products. Like I said, I don't know what I don't know, so I am really not for or against the industry, but I would like to have the opportunity to decide if I want to eat, wash with, wear or be near products that didn't take the evolution route (Geez,I just realized, what if you, dear reader, don't believe in evolution - then we have bigger problems) There is no way to stop "progress." No way. Highways and cars and TVs and computer monitors, microwaves and cellphones all had detractors - all were going to give us brain cancer, poison our foods destroy the atmospher and so on. And there was a group of people who actually got their way for a brief period of time and prevented those of us who enjoy Scotch from having any...for shame... But progress will win out...it's inevitable.. The really hard part about progress, especially that now that we "know everything about everything" is that we don't progress ourselves into oblivion....

What They Didn't Tell You At Medical School - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: n: During medical training there are certain parts of day-to-day tasks that are not taught at medical school nor inthe traditional referencebooks. There are some skills that medical students are expected to learn by ‘osmosis’ while on placement and under the guidance of junior doctors. These skills are never officially taught or examined in medical school. They are, however, a fundamental part of being a safe, good and efficient doctor. This book includes ‘golden rules’ or important points to remember and case examples, both of which are given as displayed extracts. This book is designed to help the junior doctor unlock their potential and improve their performance, cutting the time it takes to achieve certain medical objectives. It is meant to fill in the gaps where the medical school and clinical guides stop. It gives the reader the information needed to organise themselves so that they can hit the ground running. It is not intended as a clinical survival guide, but more a friendly hand to allow the reader to get ahead in medicine and how to keep on track and develop a career path.
The Solar Home: How to Design and Build a House You Heat With the Sun (How-To Guides) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: I am a first-time DIY owner-builder, presently in the early planning stages of my house project. I picked this book up at Borders as my first book on homebuilding, and was glad that I did. It was a quick and easy read, and its friendly, informal, confident style makes the first-time homebuilder feel that perhaps doing it yourself is not so daunting a task after all. The book contains enough detailed explanations and drawings to give one a feel for what kind of work is involved in all the various stages of a typical passive solar homebuilding project, while remaining brief enough as to not be too intimidating. However, I agree with the previous reviewer that this is only a snapshot of one particlular way of building an energy-efficient house, and many alternatives are not covered, for example, alternative insulating wall materials such as straw bales or SIPS board. Also, the book is biased towards construction in far-north climates and does not extensively address the needs of warmer regions where keeping the house cool may often be a bigger concern than keeping it warm. Also, the authors seem overly obsessed with putting up completely airtight vapor barriers on their interior wall surfaces; they themselves describe high interior humidity problems that they had as a result. And personally, I would not want to live inside an airtight plastic bubble! It is my understanding from talking to architect friends that you want water vapor to be able to get out of your house, while preventing moisture from coming in, via selective membrane type sheathing materials such as Tyvek. Other sources I've read (e.g. straw bale books) seem to agree that it is possible for a wall to allow water vapor to pass through relatively freely while still retaining a good insulation value. But, aside from those qualifications, I found this book to be a reasonably good, gentle introduction to what's involved in DIY passive solar homebuilding, at least for wood-frame homes of a certain typical style.
Know Your Parenting Personality: How to Use the Enneagram to Become the Best Parent You Can Be - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: This book is well written and extensive in describing the nine enneagram types as they might relate to parenting. Each one includes examples of situations and potential pitfalls as well as advantages. That said, I was disappointed about a couple of things, which limited the usefulness of the book in my mind. There is a quiz at the beginning, the answers of which are supposed to tell you which enneagram parenting type you are. While the examples are fairly good, anyone who knows about the enneagram diagram knows that determining your type is rather complex and most people don't fall cleanly into only one category, but have influences from other types, i.e. wings, and move toward other types when at their best, or digress in unhealthy circumstances. While the information presented here is good, I'm afraid a fair number of readers will see themselves in multiple types and may become confused about how to proceed. Ms. Levine uses different names for the types than I've seen used in other material and makes no attempt to relate them to one another. If you know nothing about the enneagram, obviously that won't bother you, but it bothered me. I was also hoping there would be something to help parents identify their children's types since parents are not operating in a vacuum. All in all, I felt the book has value in helping parents recognize how their personality type, whatever it is, may be affecting their children in ways they didn't expect and we all want to be better parents, so that is useful, but from the enneagram perspective, it's not as detailed as I was expecting.آیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
