Well written and easy to understand
Revisado: 03-19-22
The author has a gift for explaining this in a way that is comprehensible even without much familiarity with the subject. This book will provide you with a functional understanding of DNA and genetics and enable you to better understand important issues such as vaccination, genetically engineered foods and medicines, disease and inheritance, and much more. Using genetics to trace your family tree? Lots of info about that is in this book as well. There's a lot of confusion and misinformation going around as a result of the pandemic, but this book will certainly help non-experts in understanding such things as vaccinations, viruses and related topics in a comprehensible way.

Don't be so sure- Your brain is what you think
Revisado: 07-14-18
A wonderful eye-opening experience.
What we believe to be true is the result of our inability to objectively accept what is true versus our innate desire to find comfort in what supports our preconceptions. The author effectively explains and demonstrates how we would rather stick to our beliefs than question them. This will make you think about how we think, how we arrive at our beliefs and how to overcome our own inherent fallibilities.

Would you like to know how the universe works? Scientists have been asking that question for a long time and have found that many of the answers can be found in the study of particle physics, the field that focuses on those impossibly tiny particles with unbelievably strange names - the hadrons and leptons, baryons and mesons, muons and gluons - so mystifying to the rest of us.

In this groundbreaking classic, investigative journalist Lynne McTaggart reveals a radical new paradigm - that the human mind and body are not separate from their environment but a packet of pulsating power constantly interacting with this vast energy sea, and that consciousness may be central in shaping our world. The Field is a highly listenable scientific detective story presenting a stunning picture of an interconnected universe and a new scientific theory that makes sense of supernatural phenomena.

Pseudo science posing as actual science
Revisado: 07-12-18
The author embraces actual science when it supports her position but readily dismisses mountains of experimental evidence and the huge volume of work done by some of the most brilliant minds over the past century. Einstein's general relativity and his explanation of the photoelectric effect which won him the Nobel Prize are wrong. Quantum mechanics is wrong. Modern particle physics is wrong. Or, perhaps, this author is.
