Science &amp; Philosophy: A strange and fascinating journey of ideas laced with wry humor and unforgettable images. The book introduces "the quincunx," a simple geometric pattern that somehow opens up a completely novel way of thinking about anything and everything. With this one tiny idea in hand the author bridges the gap that normally separates physics from metaphysics, matter from consciousness, body from mind, Western from Eastern thought. The narrative moves seamlessly between questions considered to be matters of hard science and those we often think of as lying beyond rational thought. One minute it's solving Einstein's conundrum known as the "twins problem"; the next, it's offering a rational basis for astrology, ESP, or the mysterious oriental energy called qi. It even takes the time to definitively account for the differences between men and women! The book closes by addressing the real significance of 2012, the Mayan calendar, and the Fire Age, which we have just entered.

This is the new edition of a very popular book on vaccines that has a little different slant from the conventional wisdom. O'Shea chronicles the history, ingredients, science, side effects, economics, and politics behind vaccines. The text is so well referenced that it is difficult to argue with the point of view. His sources are mainstream medicine, science, and law. Every parent should read this book before making the decision whether or not to vaccinate. A summary can be found at thedoctorwithin.
