Books about Scientia from Amazon.com

Carefully documented and written in a readable style, "Close-to-Nature Medicine" is packed with value for scientist, medical practitioner, and layperson alike. "Must" reading for anyone interested in photomedicine, microminerals, or the scientific basis of complementary and alternative medicine as well as in the science and social psychology of nutrition.

Far from repeating the common teachings of the natural medicine literature, "Close-to-Nature Medicine" represents a novel, serious, theoretical, and practical approach to the scientific study of certain critical natural healing systems in the human body.

"Close-to-Nature Medicine" includes:

--a thorough, up-to-date discussion of Biophotonic Therapy, the use of extracorporeal or intravenous light to activate the chemiluminescence of the blood cells--the original immune system that is a legacy from humankind's distant oligocellular ancestors. The author provides a body of theory that places BT into its proper evolutionary and physiological contexts, describes such phenomena as the "phosphorescence of wounds", and details the track record of BT as an effective treatment of disseminated viral infections that resemble HIV and smallpox. Biophotonic Therapy is the leading phototherapeutic treatment of infectious diseases.
--a chapter on the Theory of the Red Blood Cells, including the 19 criteria for the animal magnetoreceptor that the RBCs match and the solution of several key anomalies in neuroscience. This theory appears to solve the "binding problem" of human consciousness, otherwise known as the cellular basis of consciousness and considered by some to be the leading unsolved problem in the life sciences. No longer unsolved....;
--original and little-understood information on nutrition, including a detailed description of Transdermal Microminerals, a discussion of Max Gerson's nutritional-medicinal therapy of tuberculosis and cancer, and a critique of sources of nutrition information such as the nutrition guidelines of the Institute of Medicine;
--an analysis of certain critical issues in biodefense, including the likely identity (al Qaeda) of the Anthrax Mailer and the likely origin (the United Kingdom's biodefense program) of his anthrax;
--an explanation of what makes Scientific Rejectionists tick and how to handle them; and much more besides.

This volume is not an historical study of the origins and development of medieval approaches to theories of transcendentals Its point of departure is rather the role that transcendentals played in natural theology and metaphysical theories of the 13th and 14th centuries. Accordingly, the effort of John Duns Scotus (1265/6-1308) to systematize a theory of transcendental concepts provides the central inspiration for this book. The theories in focus are not only linked to metaphysical issues, but come to constitute the understanding of metaphysics as "First Philosophy". In the wake of the 13th-century reception of Aristotle, Scotus inaugurates a new beginning for the "science of reality as a whole", adumbrating theoretical elements that have exercised a remarkable influence on the history of philosophy and continue to do so today. The essays in this volume evaluate the innovations that his work inspired, and in this sense each of them is itself innovative. They offer a candid evaluation of the extrinsic and intrinsic merits of the Scotist interpretation - that is, they examine just how original the intepretation is within the history of ideas, and assess its internal consistency. In doing so, they take account of earlier philosophical attempts to understand both the interrelationship of transcendentals and the science of metaphysics. They also offer topical and expanded analyses of various elements of Scotus's theory, as well as of its influence and developments within Scotist circles and the Franciscan tradition, as well as within Spanish scholasticism and the philosophical theology of our times..

Formerly published by the Max Niemeyer Verlag, the yearbook has been in publication since 1997 and has the task of applying the fields of literary and scientific history to one another. In doing so, the yearbook reacts to the expansion of problems and methods which have emerged in both disciplines over the last decades. Building on the insight that literary-artistic and (natural)-scientific discourse are not two separate spheres and cannot be properly described separate of one another, the yearbook offers a transdiciplinary discussion forum for the historical analysis of the interactions between the (natural) sciences and literature (studies) in theory development and reflection from the late Middle Ages to the present. One of the topics of the yearbook is the canon of the sciences, which was founded by medieval universities and which in recent times has been expanded to include disciplines such as the natural sciences, psychology, sociology and the science of history. The field of topics chosen for the yearbook reflects a conscious decision to avoid any thematic limitations of these diverse times, disciplines and aspects. The languages of publication are German and English. De Gruyter will continue to publish the yearbook in its established, thematic conceptual design. Scientia Poetica is planned and structured by its editors as well as by an international committee of renowned scientists. The yearbook will now be published with a high-quality layout (hardcover) and will be expanded in length. In keeping with the Internet presence of the publisher, a service website will be set up, offering information about the program of the yearbook, abstracts of the contributions, short reviews, a link page, information for authors and subscribers, and so forth..

Intriguing Anomalies: An Introduction to Scientific Detective Work uses case studies to explain techniques of conceptual thinking and other qualitative analysis that can help any intelligent person to delve beneath misleading data in order to perceive the underlying patterns of Nature. The book starts with a historical detective case (the links between Trojans, Etruscans, and Romans) and a criminal case (the 2001 anthrax mailings, for which FBI appears to have accepted the author's identification of al Qaeda operative Abderraouf Jdey as the Mailer). Then it shows how scientific problems can yield to the same detective techniques. It includes original analyses of the scientific dimensions of medicinal bracelets, salt microparticle respiratory treatments termed speleotherapy and halotherapy, and the fundamental findings arising from the study of Biophotonic Therapy, the leading phototherapy of infectious diseases. The author offers an 18-point proof that the red blood cells constitute the long-sought animal magnetoreceptor. In turn, he provides a proof that, acting by means of biophotonic and biomagnetic forces, the RBCs constitute the cellular basis of consciousness: the brain behind the brain. He also puts forward solutions to other refractory problems, including how humans distant oligocellular ancestors defended themselves against microbial onslaughts when they had not yet developed the modern immune system. Each chapter concludes with comments on the conceptual and analytical techniques used to arrive at deeper insights. The last chapter contains lessons learned for scientific, historical, and criminological detective work..
