      Dr. Caroline Soames-Watkins's star has been on the rise. But when she accuses a superior of sexual misconduct, the Twitterstorm that follows upends her career. With few professional options and an impoverished sister with a disabled child to support, Caro is willing to consider a mysterious proposal from her great-uncle, the Nobel Prize-winning scientist Samuel Watkins. Sam Watkins has invested untold sums of money to build a medical facility in the Caribbean. But he is very sick and in urgent need of a surgeon to perform a unique procedure developed at his island compound. The procedure isn't for the cancer surely killing him. It is to offer new life of a truer kind. Helped in his mission by the eminent physicist George Weigert and the young, charismatic tech entrepreneur Julian Dey, Sam has gone far beyond curing the body to develop a technology that could solve the riddle of mortality for the soul. Though wary of the project's secret aims, Caro signs on for the chance to secure a future for her sister and herself. What she encounters is something so much more profound than she ever could have anticipated. It will put her on the precipice of a humanity-altering discovery. It will lead her to a level of interpersonal connection that she thought was only for others. And it will throw her into a kind of danger she never imagined

      What is consciousness? Why are we here? Where did it all come from the laws of nature, the stars, the universe? Humans have been asking these questions forever, but science hasn't succeeded in providing many answers until now. In The Grand Biocentric Design, Robert Lanza is joined by theoretical physicist Matej Pavsic and astronomer Bob Berman to shed light on the big picture that has long eluded philosophers and scientists alike. This engaging, mind-stretching exposition of how the history of physics has led us to Biocentrism the idea that life creates reality-takes readers on a step-by-step adventure into the great science breakthroughs of the past centuries, from Newton to the weirdness of quantum theory, culminating in recent revelations that will challenge everything you think you know about our role in the universe. This book offers the most complete explanation of the science behind Biocentrism to date, delving into the origins of the memorable principles introduced in previous books in this series, as well as introducing new principles that complete the theory. The authors dive deep into topics including consciousness, time, and the evidence that our observations -- or even knowledge in our minds-can affect how physical objects behave

      "In Beyond Biocentrism, acclaimed biologist Robert Lanza, one of Time magazine's '100 Most Influential People' in 2014, and leading astronomer Bob Berman take readers on an intellectual thrill-ride as they re-examine everything we thought we knew about life, death, the universe, and the nature of reality itself. All of science is based on information passing through our consciousness, but science doesn't even know what consciousness is and can't explain the linkage between subatomic states and observation by conscious observers. Science describes life as a random occurrence in a dead universe but has no real understanding of how life began or why the universe appears to be exquisitely designed for the emergence of life. The biocentrism theory isn't a rejection of science--quite the opposite. Beyond Biocentrism challenges us to fully accept the implications of the latest scientific findings in fields ranging from plant biology and cosmology to quantum entanglement and consciousness. By listening to what scientific discoveries are telling us, it becomes increasingly clear that life and consciousness are central to any true understanding of the universe. This forces a fundamental rethinking of everything we thought we knew about life, death, and our place in the universe."--Jacket

      First developed as an accessible abridgement of the Handbook of Stem Cells, this work addresses the needs of scientists, researchers, practitioners, and students engaged with the latest advances in stem cell research. It represents the collaborative effort of seven editors and over 200 scholars whose pioneering contributions have shaped our understanding of stem cells. The content provides foundational knowledge of adult and embryonic stem cells, alongside insights from leading experts on the latest research concerning specific organ systems. Topics covered include basic biology, early development, the three germ layers, methods for application, and the role of stem cells in human diseases, as well as regulatory and ethical considerations and patient perspectives. Selected for inclusion in Doody's Core Titles 2013, this essential resource features contributions from Nobel Laureates and prominent international researchers. It includes two new chapters focused on induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, authored by the scientists responsible for the breakthrough. Edited by a renowned authority in the field, the book presents a comprehensive narrative on stem cells in research, application, and political discourse, enhanced with full-color illustrations, a glossary, highlighted terms, and bibliographic entries.
