Smart Sugars is an easy to read book about the breakthrough of sugar technology that will change the way we live. The author explains that some 800,000 transmitting antennae called glycans actually sugar coat each of our healthy cells like fuzz on a peach. Smart Sugars will help us take the focus off of the DISEASE, TREAT and CURE because of these new discoveries. Tomorrow's doctors will use Glycoscience diagnostics to read our cells to better determine health and what our health will or can be year's in advance.
Every murder has a story. Every story begins at home.Tampa newscaster Tori Younger is saddened to learn her childhood friend, Brooke Martin, hung herself from the old water tower in their hometown. Tori hasn't spoken to Brooke in years and doesn't feel comfortable returning to attend the services. Then cryptic text messages from Brooke's cellphone change her mind.Attending the funeral, Tori confronts a past that still haunts her and questions the text messages haunting her now. Her investigation leads to a fact she suspected all along: her old friend didn't commit suicide but was murdered. There's no shortage of suspects either: Brooke's angry husband who instigated a fight the night she died; Brooke's high school principal who denies rumors they were having an affair; and a town sheriff who shares a stormy past with Tori and is blocking her investigation at every turn. The only witness appears to be Brooke's five-year-old daughter who hasn't spoken since the tragedy and continually draws the same graphic picture of the night her mother's body was discovered hanging from that old water tower.Tori knows one of them has Brooke's cellphone and is texting her from it. Others are convinced it's Brooke reaching out from the Great Beyond. Either way, someone from her past is playing a deadly game of Hangman.

In this book lies a key for decoding modern medical terminology, a living language that, despite some quirks, is best approached as an ordered system. Rather than presenting a mere list of word elements to be absorbed through rote memorization, The Hippocrates Code offers a thorough, linguistically-centered explanation of the rules of the terminological game, both for the language of medicine and for scientific vocabulary in general. Its careful exposition of Latin and Greek linguistic principlesalong with a healthy dose of innovative exercisesempowers students to successfully employ the word elements that are the building blocks of modern medical terminology. Along the way, fascinating discussions of the practice of medicine in the ancient world provide an integral aid to the understanding of medical vocabulary. Code-breakers drawn to language, history, and medicine will be as stimulated as they are enlightened.The Hippocrates Code features: Twenty-eight chapters covering the principles behind the formation of medical vocabulary derived from Latin and Greek, complete with a rich harvest of the most useful prefixes, suffixes, and bases Detailed anatomical diagrams paired with an etymological tour of the human body Selected readings from ancient medical writers, with commentaries that compare and contrast medical practices in antiquity with those of the present day An abundant array of diverse and often ingenious exercises that require critical thinking about the application of word elements. For additional vocabulary practice, exercises, pronunciation aids, and much more The Hippocrates Code companion website: www.hippocratescode.com

Working through a modern detailed textbook on the subject can be a daunting project for any student or professional, and the sheer volume of material presented in such textbooks is often prohibitive. The aim of this book is to explain the key concepts of electric circuits in a simple, to the point manner, while making use of worked examples. It is written in three parts, covering static circuits in the time domain, dynamic circuits, and sinusoidal sources and the so-called AC paradigm, in that order. The book focuses on models of the real world, and discusses the basis as well as the limitations for each one to show how they enable the design of systems. Detailed knowledge of the underlying physics is not required to understand the material. The text emphasizes learning directly on the time domain, so models like Laplace and Fourier transforms are not included. The purpose is to use direct time domain numerical solutions of linear systems of equations and differential equations on modern computers. The solutions are explained and highlighted in the book, with several examples as well as a MATLAB source code. Circuit simulation using software such as SPICE is mentioned, but not explained in depth. As this book deals with electric circuit theory at an introductory level, derivations are kept to a minimum and ideas are communicated through practical applications. It is aimed at newcomers or professionals who want a refresher course, but the author provides several references to more in-depth work if the reader seeks more information.
