The Patient History: Evidence-Based Approach (Tierney, The Patient History)

Tierney, Lawrence M.

Smetana, Gerald W.

Britain's leading science journalist makes an agenda-setting argument that science matters to every aspect of politics with a rallying call to all geeks, wannabe geeks, and secret geeks to join together in a new force our leaders cannot ignore. There has never been a better time to be a geek (or a nerd, or a dork). What was once an insult used to marginalize those curious people (in either sense of the word) and their obsessive interest in science has increasingly become a badge of honor. And we should be crying out for them. England is a country where only one of 650 MPs has worked as a research scientist, the government's drug adviser was sacked for making a decision based on scientific fact rather than public opinion, a writer can be forced into court for telling the scientific truth, and the media would rather sell papers by scaremongering over MMR vaccines and GM crops than report the less sensational facts. Whether one wants to improve education, cut crime, enhance public health, or generate clean energy, science and its experimental method is critical. It's time to stop the nonsense! The Geek Manifesto explains what needs to happen to entrench scientific thinking more deeply into politics and society; and how those who are concerned can turn their frustrated outrage into positive action that our country's leaders cannot ignore. Contributors include Ben Goldacre, Simon Singh, Robin Ince, Evan Harris, Tim Harford, Brian Cox, and Sir Paul Nurse.

9:56 PM CDT, April 20th, 2010. 4.9 million barrels’ worth of oil begins to spew into the Gulf of Mexico as the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, stationed on the Macondo Project, violently erupts. This is a first-hand story of Deepwater Horizon and its crew, told by a former member. For many, Deepwater Horizon oil spill was a terrible environmental catastrophe. It was deemed a result of irresponsible behavior and failed safety systems that wreaked havoc on the local ecosystem while shattering British Petroleum’s reputation. A media circus soon followed as shocking images were beamed to television sets around the world, accompanied by opinionated and conjecturing “talking heads” and an eponymous Hollywood movie. At the heart of this story lies the crew who suffered the full brunt of the disaster. Of the 126 crew on board at the time of the explosion, 11 lost their lives. 8 of them were author Greg Williams’ friends, a part of the “rig family”. For years, they have suffered the opprobrium of public opinion and its notions of what happened, a silent reflection on mainstream news today. These brave and industrious people have dismissed the “distorted fabrications” of Hollywood, and this is their story. During the 1990s and 2000s, oil and gas exploration in the Gulf of Mexico was pushing the limits of the possible and accepting all challenges to further explore and discover; the Deepwater Horizon was one of these crews. Williams worked at the coalface, as a floor hand then on to a driller. In Our Horizon, he brings the rig to life, sharing its stories. From the mundanity of day-to-day life including the highs and lows, he charts the life of offshore drilling and the pain and heartache endured by survivors through first-hand accounts of the fateful night itself and the devastating aftermath in raw human terms. Our Horizon also explores the historical perspective, charting the rig’s discoveries and records over the course of a decade from its construction in the Korean port city of Ulsan. Williams examines the economics of the industry, Deepwater Horizon’s incredible discoveries, and the steely determination of crew to achieve the impossible while pushing technology to its limits. All the while, this pioneering progress was pushed by powerful global organizations overseeing operations, putting a multi-faceted dynamic at the heart of the infamous explosion. This is not just a history: this is their story—the story of heroes.

100 Most Important Science Ideas: Key Concepts in Genetics, Physics and Mathematics

In recent years knowledge of our genetic code has changed our understanding of life on Earth. New genetic technologies are transforming the way we live and promise treatments for otherwise incurable diseases. But these advances are also generating controversy, particularly surrounding issues such as cloning and designer babies. In "50 Genetics Ideas", Mark Henderson distils the central ideas of genetics in a series of clear and concise essays. Beginning with the theory of evolution, and covering such topics as the genome and how nature and nurture work together, he not only illuminates the role of genes in shaping our behaviour and sexuality, but also the very latest, cutting-edge developments in gene therapy and artificial life. Accessible and informative, "50 Genetics Ideas" is a timely introduction to this young and ground-breaking strand of science.
