Biochemical, Physiological, and Molecular Aspects of Human Nutrition PDF

The textbook was very concise with good diagrams to strengthen explanations. Some areas were lacking such as more detailed information on TCA cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Besides lacking more detail in certain areas, it was a great resource that blended multiple science disciplines all in one book that focused on nutrition.

By JFoster

This book is up to date and written in a fashion that you can understand. I have several other biochemical nutrition texts but this one is by far the best. It's the bomb!

Review

"A welcome addition to the growing literature related to sex in American history....It is a major contribution to both medical and social history."--American Historical Review

"Brandt bases his case on a well-documented analysis of public policy concerning venereal diseases during the last one hundred years....No Magic Bullet deserves a broad audience."--Journal of American History

No Magic Bullet: A Social History of Venereal Disease in the United States Since 1880 PDF

An early and interesting book by Allan Brandt, the author of the fine "The Cigarette Century." This book focuses on American public health policies towards venereal disease, specifically syphilis and gonorrhea. Brandt covers the period from late 19th century to the 1950s. Brandt describes an interesting convergence of expanding scientific knowledge and power, reformism, and efforts at moral regulation. Brandt starts with Progressive era efforts at diminishing the impact of venereal disease. Fueled by the discoveries of late 19th century bacteriology and by fears of the social stresses accompanying industrialization-urbanization which cast venereal disease as a particular threat to middle class life and values, Progressive reformers embarked on a series of efforts that were an uneasy combination of pragmatic public health measures and moral regulation. These contradictions are a recurring theme of subsequent venereal disease control efforts.

Brandt shows WWI as a particularly important event in venereal disease control. Both pragmatic and moral concerns made venereal disease control a particularly important issue for the suddenly huge armed forces. The urgency of addressing venereal disease control heightened the internal contradictions of trying to pragmatically control venereal disease while maintaining traditional moral attitudes. These problems were initially encountered in WWI and re-emerged with a vengeance in WWII.

In the interwar period, venereal disease control again emerged as a reformist issue with New Deal oriented reformers pursuing more pragmatic efforts based on increased Federal involvement. These efforts, led by the famous Thomas Parran, were surprisingly successful.

Maurice Hilleman's mother died a day after he was born and his twin sister stillborn. As an adult, he said that he felt he had escaped an appointment with death. He made it his life's work to see that others could do the same. Born into the life of a Montana chicken farmer, Hilleman ran off to the University of Chicago to become a microbiologist, and eventually joined Merck, the pharmaceutical company, to pursue his goal of eliminating childhood disease. Chief among his accomplishments are nine vaccines that practically every child gets, rendering formerly dread diseases—including often devastating ones such as mumps and rubella—practically toothless and nearly forgotten; his measles vaccine alone saves several million lives every year.

Vaccinated is not a biography; Hilleman's experience forms the basis for a rich and lively narrative of two hundred years of medical history, ranging across the globe and throughout time to take in a cast of hundreds, all caught up, intentionally or otherwise, in the story of vaccines. It is an inspiring and triumphant tale, but one with a cautionary aspect, as vaccines come under assault from people blaming vaccines for autism and worse. Paul Offit clearly and compellingly rebuts those arguments, and, by demonstrating how much the work of Hilleman and others has gained for humanity, shows us how much we have to lose.

Vaccinated: Triumph, Controversy, and An Uncertain F PDF

I love this book. I appreciate the realistic portrayal of Maurice Hilleman and his contemporaries, and how realistic the portrayal of the way vaccines were created in the 1950's, including the fact that the scientists tested out the vaccines on themselves and their families. I think I will always remember the pictures of Hilleman's daughters including the one who had been the host of the mumps virus that her father turned into a vaccine for mumps. It is officially called the Jeryl Lynn mumps strain even today. Hilleman encouraged his daughters to study science.

I also like Dr. Offit's style of writing.

By C. Clark

I greatly enjoyed reading this book on a subject which I was unfamiliar with. Dr. Offit is a good writer.

Eating the Enlightenment: Food and the Sciences in Paris, 1670-1760 PDF

Direct download links available PRETITLE Eating the Enlightenment: Food and the Sciences in Paris, 1670-1760 POSTTITLE from mediafire, rapishare, and mirror link

Eating the Enlightenment offers a new perspective on the history of food, looking at writings about cuisine, diet, and food chemistry as a key to larger debates over the state of the nation in Old Regime France. Embracing a wide range of authors and scientific or medical practitioners—from physicians and poets to philosophes and playwrights—E. C. Spary demonstrates how public discussions of eating and drinking were used to articulate concerns about the state of civilization versus that of nature, about the effects of consumption upon the identities of individuals and nations, and about the proper form and practice of scholarship. En route, Spary devotes extensive attention to the manufacture, trade, and eating of foods, focusing upon coffee and liqueurs in particular, and also considers controversies over specific issues such as the chemistry of digestion and the nature of alcohol. Familiar figures such as Fontenelle, Diderot, and Rousseau appear alongside little-known individuals from the margins of the world of letters: the draughts-playing café owner Charles Manoury, the “Turkish envoy” Soliman Aga, and the natural philosopher Jacques Gautier d’Agoty. Equally entertaining and enlightening, Eating the Enlightenment will be an original contribution to discussions of the dissemination of knowledge and the nature of scientific authority.

Review

"[I]t is surprising to learn in this ethnographic account by a US medical anthropologist that the Castro government has apparently been cooking the books... Her [Hirschfeld's] idealistic preconceptions dashed by discrepancies between rhetoric and reality,' she observes a repressive, bureaucratized and secretive system, long on militarization' and short on patients' rights, with state-employed family doctors' responsible not only for health but also for exposing political dissent... [T]he author, resorting to historical documents, concludes that the regime did foster public health gains after 1959, but concomitantly manipulated both health statistics and the impact of earlier US involvement in Cuba to highlight the 1959 revolution's alleged successes. A revealing and persuasive glimpse into public health under socialism. Highly recommended."

—Choice

"An exceptionally informative and original study of public health in Cuba that encompasses both its historical dimensions and the developments under Castro...This volume also provides a revealing grass roots portrait of Cuban society that benefits from the author's extensive personal contacts and experiences during her stay there."

—Paul Hollander, author of Political Pilgrims, Western Intellectuals in Search of the Good Society

"Health, Politics and Revolution in Cuba Since 1898 is a reflection of a new generation of courageous, fact-based researchers who validate that eclectic qualitative/quantitative comparative anthropological techniques can be mighty effective--when objectively implemented--for deconstructing a closed society's crafty propaganda. In sum, this tome is exemplary science making in the best Millian-Popperian tradition with implications transcending ever-growing Cubanology."

—Cuban Affairs

"When Hirschfeld (anthropology, U. of Oklahoma) began the project that was to become this book, it was intended to be simply an ethnographic account on the socialization of health and medicine in socialist Cuba. After being hospitalized in Cuba following coming down with dengue fever during an epidemic that the government initially denied, however, her newfound skepticism regarding the reliability of official figures and accounts of Cuba's health system led her towards a more historically-oriented investigation of the politics of health in pre- and post-revolutionary Cuba (although the experiences of her fieldwork and hospitalization are also discussed in some detail) This is a paperbound edition of a work first published in 2006."

—SciTech Book News

“Part ethnography (conducted in 1997), part historical analysis. Highly critical of common academic assessments of Cuban health system; questions the veracity of Cuban health statistics.”

—Family Medicine

Health, Politics, and Revolution in Cuba Since 1898 PDF

Thankfully this book holds no dry academic wringing of statistics (what there are in Cuba are suspect), nor is this a puff-piece written by a naive visitor shepherded to inauthentic clinics-for-show or to hospitals for foreigners or the ruling elite. The fascinating heart of this book is the year Dr. Hirschfeld spent in Cuba under the radar as a simple visitor. She arrived in Cuba anticipating confirmation of the prevailing academic view that life and health care under the Marxist system was a model of excellence. She soon experienced an epiphany as she witnessed the reality of living under the Castro regime: widespread shortages, petty humiliations, harassments, official doublespeak, and, contrary to expectations, woefully poor health care for common citizens. This was not merely an impression: she became ill (only later did she learn she had contracted dengue fever) and was whisked away to an isolation ward in which she and other women suffering from the painful disease (also called break-bone fever) were kept as virtual prisoners. They received no diagnosis, no medication, and lived under conditions unimaginable in first-world nations. Despite her suffering, the author will no doubt long remember the tribulations, camaraderie, good humor, and indomitable spirit of the workaday Cuban patients suffering alongside her. She, and the world, later learned there had been a widespread epidemic of dengue though it had been denied by the regime. The reality was leaked by a courageous Cuban physician who was jailed for revealing the truth.

The second half of the book is a revisionist history of twentieth century health care in Cuba "intended to critique the conventional portrayal . . . by the Castro regime and by Marxist scholars in the United States.

Statistics for Research: With a Guide to SPSS PDF

this review is about the book and not the seller. i found this book easy to understand and would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn the concepts and the application of statistics. the examples are great and the author introduces the topics in a logical and lucid manner. the flow of thought is easy to grasp and complex statistical tools are explained in a way that appeals to your common sense while retaining a strong foundation on the 'basics'. in real life business situations i have found this book to be a helpful guide.
i am surprised this book has not received more reviews and has a less than 5 star rating. this possibly has to do with the experience people have had with this particular seller.

By vitamink3

This guide is excellent in providing a step by step process in understanding complex statistical functions and tests for research. It is easy to read and understand, and makes research fun! Even though its directed towards SPSS, I always refer to the guide to clarify my statistical doubts and to guide me further in research planning/process/methodology. Must buy for students, researchers and teachers/lecturers.
