Download or read book Dreams and Discoveries written by Danny Warren and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book that began life as the vaguest thread of a simple idea without much of any real or intentioned substance that might have given it any real purpose or any perceivable direction. It is a book about the author’s own perceptions and ideas about how existence might still maintain of this life when material existence no longer has any immediate relevance for its continuing perpetuation. It has, however, evolved since that time into a serious exercise in expressive writing but with the primary emphasis directed always toward literary coloration and an attempt at imaginative dexterity. We exist today within a maelstrom of questionable misconceptions that remain convenient to our particular life moments and to which we all religiously adhere as the necessary requirement of our accustomed conditioning, with the basic tenet of que sera enabling us all to more comfortably maintain our daily lives in the manner that is most fitting to our purpose. This little effort began as a project based on an entirely hypothetical concept—the merest product of a rampant imagination. It is in no way intended as a statement of any of the popular convictions or beliefs that prevail today but is offered instead simply as a work of fiction and as little else. It does, however, express the sympathies and inclinations of the writer in the direction of his own thoughts and of his own suspicions. We all appear to be comfortable with our own philosophical concepts regarding the perpetuity of our own existences, and why should that not be the case? It might be helpful, however, particularly for those seekers of life questions to take a long look into the eyes of a new born child and explore some of the solutions to those mysteries that are lying there waiting to be discovered.
Download or read book Dreams and Due Diligence written by Joe Sornberger and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2011-10-05 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In proving the existence of stem cells, Ernest Armstrong McCulloch and James Edgar Till formed the most important partnership in Canadian medical research since Frederick Banting and Charles Best, the discoverers of insulin. Together, Till and McCulloch instructed, influenced, and inspired successive generations of researchers who have used their findings to make huge advances against disease. Thousands of people who would have died from leukemia and immunological disorders now owe their lives to therapies developed from their discoveries. Despite their accomplishments, Till and McCulloch remain largely unknown, and until now, their story has remained untold. Dreams and Due Diligence vividly chronicles the work of two researchers who made medical history – two men who possessed exactly the right complementary talents to achieve greatness and win nearly every award available in medical research. Bringing their legacy to life for the first time, Joe Sornberger provides a dramatic account of the development of stem cell research, one of today's most ground-breaking medical scientific fields.

Book excerpt: "A truly comprehensive, scientifically rigorous and utterly fascinating account of when, how, and why we dream. Put simply, When Brains Dream is the essential guide to dreaming." —Matthew Walker, author of Why We Sleep Questions on the origins and meaning of dreams are as old as humankind, and as confounding and exciting today as when nineteenth-century scientists first attempted to unravel them. Why do we dream? Do dreams hold psychological meaning or are they merely the reflection of random brain activity? What purpose do dreams serve? When Brains Dream addresses these core questions about dreams while illuminating the most up-to-date science in the field. Written by two world-renowned sleep and dream researchers, it debunks common myths that we only dream in REM sleep, for example—while acknowledging the mysteries that persist around both the science and experience of dreaming. Antonio Zadra and Robert Stickgold bring together state-of-the-art neuroscientific ideas and findings to propose a new and innovative model of dream function called NEXTUP—Network Exploration to Understand Possibilities. By detailing this model’s workings, they help readers understand key features of several types of dreams, from prophetic dreams to nightmares and lucid dreams. When Brains Dream reveals recent discoveries about the sleeping brain and the many ways in which dreams are psychologically, and neurologically, meaningful experiences; explores a host of dream-related disorders; and explains how dreams can facilitate creativity and be a source of personal insight. Making an eloquent and engaging case for why the human brain needs to dream, When Brains Dream offers compelling answers to age-old questions about the mysteries of sleep.

Download or read book Blue Dreams written by Lauren Slater and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The explosive story of the discovery and development of psychiatric medications, as well as the science and the people behind their invention, told by a riveting writer and psychologist who shares her own experience with the highs and lows of psychiatric drugs. Although one in five Americans now takes at least one psychotropic drug, the fact remains that nearly seventy years after doctors first began prescribing them, not even their creators understand exactly how or why these drugs work -- or don't work -- on what ails our brains. Lauren Slater's revelatory account charts psychiatry's journey from its earliest drugs, Thorazine and lithium, up through Prozac and other major antidepressants of the present. Blue Dreams also chronicles experimental treatments involving Ecstasy, magic mushrooms, the most cutting-edge memory drugs, placebos, and even neural implants. In her thorough analysis of each treatment, Slater asks three fundamental questions: how was the drug born, how does it work (or fail to work), and what does it reveal about the ailments it is meant to treat? Fearlessly weaving her own intimate experiences into comprehensive and wide-ranging research, Slater narrates a personal history of psychiatry itself. In the process, her powerful and groundbreaking exploration casts modern psychiatry's ubiquitous wonder drugs in a new light, revealing their ability to heal us or hurt us, and proving an indispensable resource not only for those with a psychotropic prescription but for anyone who hopes to understand the limits of what we know about the human brain and the possibilities for future treatments.

Download or read book Ten Discoveries from Biology to Spirituality written by Michael A. Susko and published by AllrOneofUs Publishing. This book was released on 2024-03-26 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work offers an alternative paradigm for viewing life and its dynamic capacity for change. Rather than looking at the end result of evolution with concepts such as fitness, we focus on the actual process of change, which is fragile. Using plain-spoken language and based on an earlier scholarly work, six biological domains which exhibit fragility and make for evolutionary novelty are examined. 1) the organism's dynamic genome, which exhibits a remarkable fluidity and interactivity with the environment; 2) Symbiosis, which involves the creative merger of two types of organisms; 3) Sexuality, in which sexes merge to produce unique offspring; 4) Multicellularity, which makes for most of earth's macroscopic life; 5) Development, which are changes during the fragile period of immaturity. 6) The principle of the "head", a holistic/controlling dimension of the organism, which is inherently fragile and dynamic; 7) The social dimension, with both fragile cooperative and competitive interactions, and; 8) The ecological dimension with its interwoven, delicate web of connections. To this we can add a cumulative dimension, embraces a spirituality of biology. Instructing youth and having the public become aware of models, which consider the fragility and sacrificial dimension of dynamic change, would enhance our personal lives and increase the chances for humanity's and the biosphere's survival on earth. Read this work to gain a healthy view of the reality of biological organisms and how dynamic change occurs.
