Описание: Internationally renowned medical scientist, frequent media contributor, and autism dad Dr. Peter J. Hotez explains why vaccines do not cause autism.
In 1994, Peter J. Hotez's nineteen-month-old daughter, Rachel, was diagnosed with autism. Dr.
Hotez, a pediatrician-scientist who develops vaccines for neglected tropical diseases affecting the world's poorest people, became troubled by the decades-long rise of the influential anti-vaccine community and its inescapable narrative around childhood vaccines and autism. In Vaccines Did Not Cause Rachel's Autism, Hotez draws on his experiences as a pediatrician, vaccine scientist, and father of an autistic child. Outlining the arguments on both sides of the debate, he examines the science that refutes the concerns of the anti-vaccine movement, debunks current conspiracy theories alleging a cover-up by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and critiques the scientific community's failure to effectively communicate the facts about vaccines and autism to the general public, all while sharing his very personal story of raising a now-adult daughter with autism.
A uniquely authoritative account, this important book persuasively provides evidence for the genetic basis of autism and illustrates how the neurodevelopmental pathways of autism are under way before birth. Dr. Hotez reminds readers of the many victories of vaccines over disease while warning about the growing dangers of the anti-vaccine movement, especially in the United States and Europe.
Now, with the anti-vaccine movement reenergized in our COVID-19 era, this book is especially timely. Vaccines Did Not Cause Rachel's Autism is a must-read for parent groups, child advocates, teachers, health-care providers, government policymakers, health and science policy experts, and anyone caring for a family member or friend with autism. "When Peter Hotez-an erudite, highly trained scientist who is a true hero for his work in saving the world's poor and downtrodden-shares his knowledge and clinical insights along with his parental experience, when his beliefs in the value of what he does are put to the test of a life guiding his own child's challenges, then you must pay attention.
You should. This book brings to an end the link between autism and vaccination."-from the foreword by Arthur L. Caplan, NYU School of Medicine

Описание: A myth-busting, scientifically proven guide to living a healthier, happier life - without the self-help fads
If you are looking to start a new career that is in high demand, then you need to continue reading.
Data scientists are changing the way big data is used in different institutions.
Big data is everywhere, but without the right person to interpret it, it means nothing.
So where do business find these people to help change their business?
You could be that person
It has become a universal truth that businesses are full of data.
With the use of big data, the US healthcare could reduce their health-care spending by $300 billion to $450 billion.
It can easily be seen that the value of big data lies in the analysis and processing of that data, and that's where data science comes in.
Data Science from Scratch includes:
In-depth information about what data science is and why it is important.
The prerequisites you will need to get started in data science.
What it means to be a data scientist.
The roles that hacking and coding play in data science.
The different coding languages that can be used in data science.
Why python is so important.
How to use linear algebra and statistics.
The different applications for data science.
How to work with the data through munging, cleaning, and more.
And much more
The use of data science adds a lot of value to businesses, and we will continue to see the need for data scientists grow.
As businesses and the internet change, so will data science. This means it's important to be flexible.
When data science can reduce spending costs by billions of dollars in the healthcare industry, why wait to jump in?
If you want to get started in a new, ever-growing, career, don't wait any longer. Buy this book today.

Описание: There have been 8 Anne Swift medical mysteries reported plus the interview she gave upon retiring from her work-collected in a trio of trilogies-but not a word about how she became interested in Biology enough to get an undergraduate degree in the subject, and a graduate degree and even a doctorate in the field... and then just gave it up to be a wife and mother.Granted, her son is the famous young inventor, Tom Swift (or will be when he grows up) and her husband is Damon Swift, head of Swift Enterprises.This is the book that takes us along with Anne from the age of about 13 through her days in school, falling in love, marriage and how she was enticed into becoming a super, secret scientist for the FBI.And how she had to keep it all a secret. From EVERYBODY And how she even helped cure a nasty type of cancer at the age of 18.Plus, her entire first FBI case.So, part biography and part medical mystery, this is how the girl became the woman and what drove her to become one of the top Molecular Biological Detectives around ------------------------------Also available and published in a trio of novella collections, the original Anne Swift stories: Anne Swift and the Microbial Murder MessAnne Swift and the Nasty Nuclear NodulesAnne Swift and Scary Scroungy ScrofulaAnne Swift and the Deadly Dino DNAAnne Swift and the Malicious Meteor MayhemAnne Swift and the Incendiary Incect InfestationAnne Swift and the Alien Anticoagulant AnomalyAnne Swift: Interview With a MoBiDetAnne Swift and the Pernicious Parasite Pandemi
Описание: *Includes pictures *Includes Hawking's own quotes about his life and work *Includes footnotes, online resources and a bibliography for further reading *Includes a table of contents "My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all." - Stephen Hawking "I am just a child who has never grown up. I still keep asking these 'how' and 'why' questions. Occasionally, I find an answer." - Stephen Hawking In the pantheon of great theoretical physicists that includes the names of such historical luminaries as Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein, it is, perhaps, supremely ironic that the successor to the leading scientific minds of their generations has produced such "groundbreaking work in physics and cosmology", while at the same time battling one of the world's most insidious and relentless diseases. Dr. Stephen William Hawking, British mathematician, theoretical physicist, and cosmologist, is the face of twenty-first century physics, and yet cannot speak directly to his audience. For verbal communication, he relies on the use of an electronically activated vocal synthesizer. The scientist who has most notably carried the ideas of Einstein and his colleagues forward from the early-to-mid 20th century, whether in terms of explanation, rejection, or confirmation of any given question, is no longer able to move his limbs due to the incapacitating effects of ALS, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. The affliction is better known in the United States as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," named after the great American baseball player. Since 2009, in fact, Hawking can no longer operate his wheelchair. With a failing body but a world-leading mind that has remained active and keen through the years, Dr. Hawking continues to fight for any means of communication that he or his scientific environment can devise, presently placing much of his attention on systems with which to "translate his brain patterns into switch activations." This desperate struggle to stay connected comes at a time in which the amassing of Hawking's theories, developed over the past half-century, seems poised to discover and affirm new solutions to the mysteries of the universe. Occupying a unique place in the history of physics, Hawking, more than Newton or Einstein, lives in the perfect era from which to stand at the threshold of new possibilities for balancing and synchronizing the theories of General Relativity, put forth by his great predecessors, and the newer field of the quantum world, hinted at in the mid-twentieth century but only more recently brought forward by leading proponents. He has devoted the lion's share of his adult life to "probing the space-time described by general relativity and the singularities where it breaks down," and is, in advancing years, more driven than ever by the urge to uncover all he can about the nature of the larger universe. Stephen Hawking: The Life of the World's Most Famous Scientist examines the life and career of the English physicist. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Stephen Hawking like never before, in no time at all.
