Book excerpt: Why cracking the code of human conception took centuries of wild theories, misogynist blunders, and ludicrous mistakes Throughout most of human history, babies were surprises. People knew the basics: men and women had sex, and sometimes babies followed. But beyond that the origins of life were a colossal mystery. The Seeds of Life is the remarkable and rollicking story of how a series of blundering geniuses and brilliant amateurs struggled for two centuries to discover where, exactly, babies come from. Taking a page from investigative thrillers, acclaimed science writer Edward Dolnick looks to these early scientists as if they were detectives hot on the trail of a bedeviling and urgent mystery. These strange searchers included an Italian surgeon using shark teeth to prove that female reproductive organs were not 'failed' male genitalia, and a Catholic priest who designed ingenious miniature pants to prove that frogs required semen to fertilize their eggs. A witty and rousing history of science, The Seeds of Life presents our greatest scientists struggling-against their perceptions, their religious beliefs, and their deep-seated prejudices-to uncover how and where we come from.

Book excerpt: Art and science collaborate on a fascinating story with extraordinary images in a highly-acclaimed book. Seeds, the most complex organs produced by plants, ensure the biodiversity of our planet. They vary from the impressive Seychelles nut that weighs twenty kilos to the dust-like seeds of the orchids. Some wait for hundreds of years to find the right place and time for germination after travelling thousands of kilometres or just a few centimetres. The evolution of their highly sophisticated structures from prehistoric times to today makes fascinating reading as do the wiles plants use to attract and deceive their chosen pollinators. The extraordinary images that accompany this story provide an unprecedented presentation of the magnificent diversity of seeds in all their exquisite beauty and sophistication. Fruits are the keepers of the precious seeds that ensure our future; some are edible, others inedible and many, quite simply, incredible.

Download or read book Seeds of Transformation written by Charmaine Shaw and published by . This book was released on 2013-07-02 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do you hold onto certain beliefs? When do you stop and ask why is this so? Holistic life coach, Fitness Advocate, and Grass-Root Speaker Charmaine Shaw bursts onto the scene with her debut self-help book, Seeds of Transformation: Choosing to Live an Authentic Life, which answers these questions and invites readers to change. "If we have resistance to anything, it's a sign that we need to look at something in us." "As long as we maintain hidden agendas and deny our truth, intimacy is impossible." "Look at your patterns of behavior, at how certain moments or events make you feel and ask yourself why am I feeling this way? Where did this come from? Follow the trail and it will lead you to your inner wounded child." These one-page "seeds" challenge you to reverse the way you've been negatively conditioned - because everyone is a product of conditioning. For each new topic, Charmaine dares to ask the questions no one else is asking. Instead of offering hard and fast answers, she asks more questions to guide the reader toward living a more authentic life. Topics include romantic relationships, parenting, birth & death, discovering the real you, and more. Rich, simple, and thought-provoking, Seeds of Transformation: Choosing to Live an Authentic Life is a refreshing departure from self-help books touting a number of habits, keys, or secrets to success. For truth in condensed form, Charmaine packs a punch. If you feel stuck; if you seek change; if the way you view the world no longer works, it's time to plant some seeds of transformation.
