What Makes You Tick?: The Brain in Plain English
What is consciousness?

Is there really such a thing as free will?

Is there a physiological basis for an eternal soul?

In What Makes You Tick?, Thomas Czerner's elegant and accessible introduction to brain research, you'll encounter the scientists and discoveries that have exponentially increased our knowledge of the brain and its functions, most significantly in the last few years. Here, Czerner has translated the arcane language of scientific journals into a highly readable Baedeker of the brain, outlining all that is known about the modern brain and the amazing promise this understanding holds for the future.

In addition to tracing the vast web of cerebral roadways, Czerner deftly follows the larger historical detective story that stars neurologists and their forebears, from philosophers Descartes and Kant, to twentieth-century polymaths Francis Crick and Edwin Land, to computer scientists, who have found that the brain's parallel circuitry offers an ideal design model for microprocessors.

By shining a light on the darkest recesses of our own minds, What Makes You Tick? illuminates the greatest gifts the world of science bestows, in addition to touching on the ethical dilemmas facing us as we begin to alter ourselves on the cellular level. Above all, What Makes You Tick? will forever change the way you think about thinking..

The Stuff of Life: Profiles of Molecules That Make Us Tick
A primer that explains the countless substances that make up the most complex of all life-forms: human beings

Countless chemicals, fluids, and substances mix and merge to make the complex life-form we call a human being. And while there is still much that remains to be understood, science has come a long way toward uncovering the nature and purpose of these essential ingredients.

In The Stuff of Life, Eric P. Widmaier deconstructs the fundamental processes of the human body and focuses on those vital biological substances that are particularly well understood. By examining the blueprints that dictate what we are, Widmaier gets us to rethink basic body processes that we thought we understood but didn't. Such as:
--Why are some fats worse than others?
--Is cholesterol actually good for anything?
--How does the stomach digest food?
-- Where does our energy come from?

A concise, easy-to-read handbook, complete with illustrations, The Stuff of Life offers answers to these and many more common questions about how the body works.

This book-on-a-disc makes a superb reference work and educational tool for patients and their families, physicians, and other medical professionals.
