The genre of the book is what can be categorized as "science faction, for much of the story remains faithful to the times in which we live." The fictional story, written in the first person, tells the story of a young secular Jew named Jacob Cahn as he attempts to understand the meaning of a strange recurrent dream. After finishing his pre-med degree at Emery University in Atlanta, he rejects his family's expectations for him to follow in his father's footsteps to become a general practitioner and decides instead to become a geneticist. He is accepted by the prestigious Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. He leaves behind Rachel, a girl whom he dearly loves whose father, an Orthodox Jew, refuses to sign their ketuba, the Jewish engagement contract. Flavored with a generous amount of Yiddish humor, the story contains many surprises along a path that ultimately leads this brilliant geneticist to accept Yeshua as his Lord and Savior. Jacob's reputation is tested in the crucible of the contest between good and evil. His path ultimately leads him to discover the special calling and destiny God has prepared for this completed Jewish believer.

Winner of the History of Science category of the Professional and Scholarly Publishing Awards given by the Association of American Publishers Why do racial and ethnic controversies become attached, as they often do, to discussions of modern genetics? How do theories about genetic difference become entangled with political debates about cultural and group differences in America? Such issues are a conspicuous part of the histories of three hereditary diseases: Tay-Sachs, commonly identified with Jewish Americans; cystic fibrosis, often labeled a "Caucasian" disease; and sickle cell disease, widely associated with African Americans. In this captivating account, historians Keith Wailoo and Stephen Pemberton reveal how these diseases—fraught with ethnic and racial meanings for many Americans—became objects of biological fascination and crucibles of social debate. Peering behind the headlines of breakthrough treatments and coming cures, they tell a complex story: about different kinds of suffering and faith, about unequal access to the promises and perils of modern medicine, and about how Americans consume innovation and how they come to believe in, or resist, the notion of imminent medical breakthroughs. With Tay-Sachs, cystic fibrosis, and sickle cell disease as a powerful backdrop, the authors provide a glimpse into a diverse America where racial ideologies, cultural politics, and conflicting beliefs about the power of genetics shape disparate health care expectations and experiences.

Science need not be dull and bogged down by jargon, as Richard Dawkins proves in this entertaining look at evolution. The themes he takes up are the concepts of altruistic and selfish behaviour; the genetical definition of selfish interest; the evolution of aggressive behaviour; kinshiptheory; sex ratio theory; reciprocal altruism; deceit; and the natural selection of sex differences. 'Should be read, can be read by almost anyone. It describes with great skill a new face of the theory of evolution.' W.D. Hamilton, Science

~~~~~~~~~ REVISED EDITION, 2024 ~~~~~~~~~ Are you having no luck with Astral projection? Discover the spiritual and wholesome approach to attaining out-of-body states of awareness which leads to more vivid and profound experiences. The approach in this book is on the practical understanding of out-of-body consciousness, rather than on intellectual debate or speculation. It aims to address frequently asked questions that Gene has received from hundreds of people struggling to achieve Astral projection. As explained in the book: "Through practical understanding alone, we get rid of the need for ineffective methods and complex practices which harbour self-doubt, often seen in books which promise quick results through techniques backed by little explanation. When we instinctively comprehend the mechanics behind out-of-body experiences, we adopt our own intuitive practice." Furthermore, the book explores the difference between lucid dreaming and out-of-body experiences and how both these phenomena serve a significant purpose towards our spiritual progress. One way to understand this is through realising that most of us are in a continuous dream-like state that often has a firm grip over our awareness while we're awake and also while we're asleep; this is key in understanding how to go beyond layers of subconscious perception in order to reach higher objective states of consciousness. If we wake up out of our dreams during the day, then we also have more chance of becoming conscious during our dreams at night too; "As Above, So Below". Learn about how following the path of Astral projection enhances our mental, emotional and physical health and overall quality of waking life; the practice does not just apply to our non-physical experiences during sleep. Gene's knowledge is based on over a decade of deep meditation, hundreds of out-of-body experiences, and several years spent being part of a Gnostic group. He has only one wish; for you to experience conscious out-of-body travel with all of your senses in-tact, just as you are here and now, reading this. Below are just some of the things you will learn in this guide: - Overcoming fear of 'the other side' - How to rely on intent rather than methods - Several step-by-step methods and exercises - How meditation greatly benefits Astral projection - Analysing and understanding your failed attempts - How to stay grounded and present once out of body - How dreaming at night is no different than when we 'daydream' - How Astral projection is a deeply spiritual practice of self-realisation Gene is dedicated to helping others achieve Astral projection and has provided contact details and extra resources at the end of the book.

For decades, Logsdon and his family have run a viable family farm. Along the way, he has become a widely influential journalist and social critic, documenting in hundreds of essays for national and regional magazines the crisis in conventional agri-business and the boundless potential for new forms of farming that reconcile tradition with ecology. Logsdon reminds us that healthy and economical agriculture must work "at nature's pace," instead of trying to impose an industrial order on the natural world. Foreseeing a future with "more farmers, not fewer," he looks for workable models among the Amish, among his lifelong neighbors in Ohio, and among resourceful urban gardeners and a new generation of defiantly unorthodox organic growers creating an innovative farmers-market economy in every region of the country. Nature knows how to grow plants and raise animals; it is human beings who are in danger of losing this age-old expertise, substituting chemical additives and artificial technologies for the traditional virtues of fertility, artistry, and knowledge of natural processes. This new edition of Logsdon's important collection of essays and articles (first published by Pantheon in 1993) contains six new chapters taking stock of American farm life at this turn of the century.
