The real story of science isn’t a triumphant breakthrough. It’s messy, mysterious, and deeply human. In Lost in Curiosity, award-winning journalist Roberta Kwok pulls back the curtain on what scientific discovery actually looks like… Not a Eureka moment, but a fraught, often chaotic...

Systems biology came about as growing numbers of engineers and scientists from other fields created algorithms which supported the analysis of biological data in incredible quantities. Whereas biologists of the past had been forced to study one item or aspect at a time, due to technical and biological limitations, it suddenly became possible to study biological phenomena within their natural contexts. 

In this exhilarating installment of the award-winning Scientists in the Field series, journey to the isolated islands of Isle Royale National Park where the longest predator/prey study in the world is being conducted along with a controversial genetic rescue to save not only the wolves and moose...

For decades, stories of Sasquatch, or Bigfoot, have stirred curiosity and debate. Eyewitnesses continue to share vivid accounts — from sudden roadside crossings to strange sounds deep in the woods. But what do these stories reveal about the creature itself? In Sasquatch Insights, veterinarian and educator Karen E. Mueller, DVM explores reports and behaviors with an inquisitive yet balanced approach. Each chapter brings together evidence and encounters, offering readers a clear overview of what is known — and what remains unknown — about Sasquatch. Inside you’ll discover: What ...

The physical spectrum of human mind fields is currently undetectable with the equipment we have, because this equipment is designed to measure the physical characteristics of the known fields. Mind fields are subtle energy fields. To quote Einstein "God is subtle but He is not malicious”. What he meant according to his own explanation was: "Nature hides her secret because of her essential loftiness, but not by means of ruse". Yes, subtle fields are low energy, organizing fields. In human life the subtle fields of mind are very weak in comparison with familiar physical fields, so we ...
