Story
Although consciousness is at the very center of who we are, its exact nature continues to confound modern science. From where does consciousness originate? At our core, are we material bodies or immaterial conscious minds? Many assume that consciousness is a product of our complex brains, a product of evolution—and yet, there is no evolutionary reason that a mechanical function of the brain should allow us to enjoy the beauty of a sunrise or become intoxicated with the smell of rain on dry earth.

Botany For Dummies gives you a thorough overview of the fundamentals of botany, but in simple terms that anyone can understand. Great for supplementing your botany coursework or brushing up before an exam, this book covers plant evolution, the structure and function of plant cells, and plant identification. Plus, you'll learn about how plants of different types are changing and adapting in response to changing climates. This new edition goes into more detail on fungi—not technically plants, but no one is holding that against them.

Cuando se encierra a un lobo, comienza a dar vueltas en su jaula, se activan sus mecanismos de defensa, su astucia natural se agudiza con el objetivo de escapar y, finalmente, aúlla. Si confinan a un zoólogo documentalista, se pondrá, de inmediato, a investigar acerca del motivo de su aislamiento; pero, cuando le digan que un pangolín y un murciélago son la causa de todo, se dará cuenta de que algo no encaja.

Story
Dopo il secolo della chimica e quello della fisica stiamo vivendo nel millennio delle scienze della vita, della biologia. Icona di questo periodo è un'affascinante doppia elica di straordinaria bellezza: il DNA. Dalla descrizione del vivente alla sua sintesi, dalla rivoluzione genomica ai test genetici diretti al consumatore, tutte le scienze (filosofia, giurisprudenza, economia, medicina) ne sono rivoluzionate. Le applicazioni biotecnologiche del DNA sono capaci di cambiare la prospettiva di che cosa sia umano.

Story
Che cosa ci rende diversi dagli altri animali, anche da quelli più vicini a noi come i primati? Pur condividendo con essi la socialità e la capacità di comunicare, noi umani ci differenziamo per un linguaggio particolare, quello della parola. Oggi, le straordinarie possibilità di comunicazione aperte dall'era digitale inducono una fuga dalla parola e dalla conversazione; questo è evidente sia nei giovani chiusi in una stanza sotto una pioggia di messaggi sia negli anziani emarginati dalle nuove tecnologie, che si trovano ad affrontare tutti una paradossale solitudine.

19 aprile 1943. Albert Hofmann, chimico in forze all'azienda farmaceutica Sandoz di Basilea, inforca la bicicletta e si avvia verso casa. Sembra un giorno come un altro, se non fosse che ha appena assunto 250 microgrammi di dietilammide-25 dell'acido lisergico, un composto da lui stesso sintetizzato nella ricerca di uno stimolante della circolazione sanguigna. Ciò che accade durante il tragitto sconvolge la sua nozione del reale: visioni coloratissime, meravigliose e mostruose, percezioni di realtà parallele, terrori, euforie. È nato l'Lsd.

Experts agree on the value of genetic testing when there is a family history of disease, or if the patient has an illness frequently caused by a mutation. Knowing the disease mutation lets family members find out if they have it too and need preventive care. The book explains that doctors can order tests with genetic counseling at relatively low cost and how this will help them prescribe preventive actions, make earlier diagnoses, and get better outcomes.

Che cos'è il dolore? Dove si situa? È uguale nelle femmine e nei maschi? È presente negli animali? Il libro risponde a queste e alle altre domande che riguardano l'esperienza negativa di certo più comune provata da tutti svariate volte nella vita. Al contempo il dolore rimane però un enigma difficile da comprendere a fondo, poiché rappresenta un vissuto personale che appartiene solo alla sfera privata. Il fattore fondamentale è che esso non è mai uguale: chi sta leggendo queste righe lo percepisce differentemente da qualsiasi altro individuo.

Story
After the extinction of the dodo and Carolina parakeet and the collapse of the American bison population, naturalists expected many more vulnerable species to die out with spread of industrialization. This triggered a race to collect rare species of animals expected soon to be lost forever. Established in 1893, Chicago's Field Museum aimed to become a global center of study. Zoologist Daniel Giraud Elliot persuaded museum patrons to fund an immediate expedition to British Somaliland (contemporary Somalia). There, his team hunted and killed hundreds of animals for the growing collection.

This book will cover DNA links to convictions and acquittals. The long link of DNA evidence is vast. That many convictions were overturned because of DNA evidence or that many years after convictions individuals were set free. Privacy issues are also in question. Many countries have different regulations due to new laws surrounding the length of time that DNA is stored. The varying strands of this innovative forensic evidence collection is also in jeopardy.
