1. Review of on Natural Selection by Charles Darwin by Avil Beckford
   
   I have been researching great thinkers and how they have shaped the world. I have also been trying to prove that the act of reading helps to generate or even stimulate great ideas. Great thinkers do not operate within a vacuum, they rely on the works of others, and often expand the original thought and take the world further. Charles Darwin and British biologist Alfred Russel Wallace independently arrived at similar theories of Natural Selection in the mid-1800s after reading Essay on the Principle of Population by British pastor Thomas Malthus.
   
   
2. Camouflage Masters - Stick Insects by Navodita Maurice
   
   The stick insects are frequently designated as the 'walking sticks'. They are herbivorous and prefer to feed on leafs of plants only. they may be green or white in color small to large in size. They prefer to live in a humid environment. Their life stage includes: egg, larvae and adults. Their mechanism for defense is very fantastic that is why they are called as 'camouflage masters'. Sexes are separate. Females are larger in size and males are smaller. females can glide only while males can fly.
   
   
3. Biotechnology and Colours by Yaamini Lakshmi
   
   Biotechnology and the world of colours have always been intertwined. Nature's hues and tints are captured in their natural or synthetic state in a variety of market products. The flower markets of natural blood-red roses and gene-designed blue roses recently released in Japan are apt examples.
   
   
4. Triplet Genetic Code - A Book Review Which Allows the Reader to Better Understand DNA Nutrition by Chris Bielke
   
   This book presents the basics of what the genetic code is, so that the reader can have a basis of understanding of molecular biology. The backbone of the book is the central dogma of molecular biology, which is the idea that information flows from DNA to RNA to protein. It not only defines and discusses what the genetic code is, but discusses the rules of the genetic code and the type of mutations that can occur in the system.
   
   
5. Anatomy 101 - The Human Body From a Kid's Point of View by Adam Singleton
   
   We may live in them, but that doesn't mean that the human body isn't one of the most complex organisms on the planet. Many adults struggle to understand how everything works - so how can you teach kids how to?
   
   
6. The Ascent of Man by Ilmas Futehally
   
   What separates man from other primates, or indeed other animals? Jacob Bronowski, a mathematician trained in physics, examines the scientific and intellectual history of humankind in his book The Ascent of Man. Though the book is based on the television series aired on BBC in the 1970s, it is far from outdated. Over 30 years after it was first published; The Ascent of Man still invokes pride in our past and instils hope for our future in the reader.
   
   
7. Understanding the Brain and Central Nervous System is Critical by Lance Winslow
   
   Perhaps you have considered the complexity of the human brain and how incredible this biological marvel really is. If you consider all the interwoven systems that allow the human body to work to supply the brain with what it needs to function and control the enter biosystem then you have to throw up your hands and say; Wow.
   
   
8. Biology Book Review - Human Anatomy and Physiology by Lance Winslow
   
   It's amazing that so few people understand the human body, especially considering that they live within it. It's perhaps the only thing you can truly say that you completely own. Many kids in school do not get an adequate education in biology, which is a travesty considering the full-importance of health care, longevity and living free from disease.
   
   
9. Stiff - the Curious Life of Human Cadavers by Nita Prihanto
   
   Do you know why cadavers look swollen after they rot? That is thanks to all those little flesh eating creatures we call maggots and bacteria. They too have secretion system.
   
   
10. The Truth Behind Stem Cell Research - The Right To Recover by Nick Oliva
    
    Yvonne Perry is a fellow writer and friend and after having read her book I am forwarding this information to all that I know in the hopes that they read and understand that we here in the United States are being misled as to what researchers want to use for stem cells that are not human embryos as has been misstated over and over by groups that do not want to educate themselves.
    
    
11. Interview With Dawson Church, Author of "The Genie in Your Genes" by Tyler R. Tichelaar
    
    "The Genie in Your Genes" focuses on the new scientific field of Epigenetics (meaning control above the level of the gene) and its applications in healing. Church cites hundreds of reputable scientific studies, mostly from mainstream medical journals, such as "Journal of the American Medical Association," that show how beliefs and emotions can trigger the expression of DNA strands. Readers may be surprised to learn that there are over 100 genes in the body activated by thoughts, feelings and experiences, and that these genes dramatically affect the immune system. With the backing of hard biological facts, the epigenetic therapies offered in "The Genie in Your Genes" have an incredible, recognized potential as alternatives to pain-killing drugs, surgeries and traditional therapy.

13. Beyond Difference: A Biologists Perspective by Anne Fausto-Sterling by Elle Housman
    
    Evolutionary biologist Anne Fausto-Sterling argues against the controversial issue of whether or not evolutionary psychology explains human sex differences. Fausto-Sterling's orientation to social change is dichotomous. While she is a "defender" of the current scientific paradigm, which heavily relies on the scientific method, she also seeks to "reform" the ideological stance taken by many evolutionary psychologists, and to do so at the level of the scientific community. In Fausto-Sterling’s article, she strives to foster communication and collaboration with her peers in the emerging field of evolutionary psychology, attempting to share the wisdom she has gleaned from her much more established field of evolutionary biology.
    
    
14. The Cobra Event (want to lose some sleep tonight?); Book Review by Lance Winslow
    
    The Cobra Event by Richard Preston is a worthwhile book to read indeed, but it will scare the be-Jesus out of you also. This is quite a heavy book to read and if you are an intellectual type of person, then it should frighten you.
