The relationship between vitamin C and health is controversial. Double Nobel Prize winner, Linus Pauling, argued that ascorbate could prevent or cure heart disease, stroke, cancer and infections. Conventional experts disagreed, disparaging supplements in favour of fruits and vegetables. This book presents a new model, describing the action of vitamin C in health and disease. It demonstrates conclusively that the establishment has misinterpreted the evidence, potentially resulting in epidemic levels of avoidable disease. The dynamic flow model explains the current results and points the way for future experiments. Vitamin C supplementation could eradicate many diseases. In pharmacological doses, it could cure the major killers of the industrialised world. Failure to test these ideas may condemn countless people to chronic illness and premature death.

Headlines of 5-star reviews on Amazon.com: "A very clear 'how to' book on cluster analysis" (C. Fielitz, Bristol, TN); "An excellent introduction to cluster analysis" (T. W. Powell, Shreveport, LA). A recent (2004) review in Journal of Classification (21:279-283) says: "We should be grateful to the author for his insistence in bringing forth important issues, which have not got yet that level of attention they deserve. I wish this journal could devote more efforts in promoting the scientific inquiry and discussions of methodology of clustering in scientific research [as Cluster Analysis for Researchers does]."

Recipient of a 2007 IPPY Silver Medal, INTERVENTION challenges two of the most sacred tenets of modern society, innovation and technology, from the perspective of the unique risks they present. Using genetic engineering as its model, it paints a vivid picture of the scientific uncertainties that biotech risk evaluations dismiss or ignore, and lays bare the power and money conflicts between academia, industry and regulators that have sped these risky innovations to the market. Intervention champions an alternative method for assessing the risks of technology, developed by the world's top risk experts, that can eliminate such conflicts, help regain public trust in science and government, and drive research and development toward more useful, safer products. "Perhaps the most balanced and readable look yet at assessing the risks of genetic engineering." Michael Rogers, MSNBC.com "I learned more about biotechnology from this book than any other I've read ..." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging.com

This memoir tells of my recovery from a coma when I was 13. Because I live a normal life now, people are surprised to learn that I have had a Traumatic Brain Injury. They’re always so curious: How long were you in a coma? Do you remember anything? How did it happen? This book answers all those questions and more. An emotional Part I allows readers to experience the range of emotions my family felt as I lay unconscious. Part II describes my frustrations upon gaining consciousness: my right side was paralyzed and I couldn't speak. Part III tells how I was received once I returned to eighth grade and follows through to high school graduation, describing physical, social, and emotional problems I had along the way. This story shows how I met these problems with determination and how I accepted the ones I couldn’t change.
