One of the disturbing trends which have developed in recent times is the uncaring attitudes and violence of people towards their fellow human beings, the animals and the environment, and the gradual decay of western civilizations! This has brought about a situation where humanity can no longer afford to ignore the present dangers and continue living in the old ways. We must make changes in the way they live to avoid a potential disaster unfolding through the collapse of the global economies, the environment pollution and the poisoning of food, land, rivers and oceans and all life form in them by taking our duty of care more seriously. The books contents are based on real events and spiritual principles, along with personal experiences. It describes the general state of affairs of our society and children and highlights the increasing need for humanity to change the way we live and start to take greater care of the planet that sustains our lives and how Gods fury is unleashed through the splitting of the atom.

Anne Brewer, a corporate marketing consultant, was stunned when she began receiving telepathic messages from a group of friendly non-physical beings sent to help raise the consciousness of Earth. According to these beings, in eons past, humans were created with only two active strands of DNA which limited our evolutionary potential and inhibited the ability to ascend or function as Spirit in physical form. They taught her a process called 12-Strand DNA Recoding that she has shared with thousands in her book, The Power of Twelve, A New Approach to Empowerment Through 12-Strand DNA Consciousness. Anne's remarkable true story of her DNA Recoding is of great assistance to all of us who desire to achieve our full potential. Her transformative process includes powerful channeled instruction and holistic balancing modalities to quicken manifestations and clear the path to love. The power of the 12-strand DNA energy is illustrated through Anne's examples of how she obtained greater heath, wealth, and happiness in her own life. This power will increase your energy vibration which enables you to operate at a greater potential, increase your psychic abilities, release debilitating emotions of fear and guilt, quicken your skills for manifesting, and enable you ultimately to ascend from the Earth realm to the next phase of your soul growth.

It has been recognized for almost 200 years that certain families seem to inherit cancer. It is only in the past decade, however, that molecular genetics and epidemiology have combined to define the role of inheritance in cancer more clearly, and to identify some of the genes involved. The causative genes can be tracked through cancer-prone families via genetic linkage and positional cloning. Several of the genes discovered have subsequently been proved to play critical roles in normal growth and development. There are also implications for the families themselves in terms of genetic testing with its attendant dilemmas, if it is not clear that useful action will result. The chapters in The Genetics of Cancer illustrate what has already been achieved and take a critical look at the future directions of this research and its potential clinical applications.

From the author of the acclaimed The Epigenetics Revolution (‘A book that would have had Darwin swooning’ – Guardian) comes another thrilling exploration of the cutting edge of human science. For decades after the structure of DNA was identified, scientists focused purely on genes, the regions of the genome that contain codes for the production of proteins. Other regions – 98% of the human genome – were dismissed as ‘junk’. But in recent years researchers have discovered that variations in this ‘junk’ DNA underlie many previously intractable diseases, and they can now generate new approaches to tackling them. Nessa Carey explores, for the first time for a general audience, the incredible story behind a controversy that has generated unusually vituperative public exchanges between scientists. She shows how junk DNA plays an important role in areas as diverse as genetic diseases, viral infections, sex determination in mammals, human biological complexity, disease treatments, even evolution itself – and reveals how we are only now truly unlocking its secrets, more than half a century after Crick and Watson won their Nobel prize for the discovery of the structure of DNA in 1962.

The unexpected story of how genetic testing is affecting race in America We know DNA is a master key that unlocks medical and forensic secrets, but its genealogical life is both revelatory and endlessly fascinating. Tracing genealogy is now the second-most popular hobby amongst Americans, as well as the second-most visited online category. This billion-dollar industry has spawned popular television shows, websites, and Internet communities, and a booming heritage tourism circuit. The tsunami of interest in genetic ancestry tracing from the African American community has been especially overwhelming. In The Social Life of DNA, Alondra Nelson takes us on an unprecedented journey into how the double helix has wound its way into the heart of the most urgent contemporary social issues around race. For over a decade, Nelson has deeply studied this phenomenon. Artfully weaving together keenly observed interactions with root-seekers alongside illuminating historical details and revealing personal narrative, she shows that genetic genealogy is a new tool for addressing old and enduring issues. In The Social Life of DNA, she explains how these cutting-edge DNA-based techniques are being used in myriad ways, including grappling with the unfinished business of slavery: to foster reconciliation, to establish ties with African ancestral homelands, to rethink and sometimes alter citizenship, and to make legal claims for slavery reparations specifically based on ancestry. Nelson incisively shows that DNA is a portal to the past that yields insight for the present and future, shining a light on social traumas and historical injustices that still resonate today. Science can be a crucial ally to activism to spur social change and transform twenty-first-century racial politics. But Nelson warns her readers to be discerning: for the social repair we seek can't be found in even the most sophisticated science. Engrossing and highly original, The Social Life of DNA is a must-read for anyone interested in race, science, history and how our reckoning with the past may help us to chart a more just course for tomorrow.
