 DNA USA: A Genetic Portrait of America
(Hardcover)
By Bryan Sykes
List Price: $27.95
Our Price: $19.57
(Save: $8.39 30%)
Crisscrossing the continent, a renowned geneticist provides a groundbreaking examination of America through its DNA.
The best-selling author of The Seven Daughters of Eve now turns his sights on the United States, one of the most genetically variegated countries in the world. From the blue-blooded pockets of old-WASP New England to the vast tribal lands of the Navajo, Bryan Sykes takes us on a historical genetic tour, interviewing genealogists, geneticists, anthropologists, and everyday Americans with compelling ancestral stories. His findings suggest:
* Of Americans whose ancestors came as slaves, virtually all have some European DNA.
* Racial intermixing appears least common among descendants of early New England colonists.
* There is clear evidence of Jewish genes among descendants of southwestern Spanish Catholics.
* Among white Americans, evidence of African DNA is most common in the South.
* European genes appeared among Native Americans as early as ten thousand years ago.
An unprecedented look into America's genetic mosaic and how we perceive race, DNA USA challenges the very notion of what we think it means to be American.
 The Mindful Manifesto: How Doing Less and Noticing More Can Help Us Thrive in a Stressed-Out World
(Paperback)
By Jonty Heaversedge, Ed Halliwell
List Price: $15.95
Our Price: $11.17
(Save: $4.79 30%)
Stress is endemic in our culture. We live in a speedy, pressurized world, and there's often little time to really experience and enjoy our lives. Rather than constantly trying to keep up, perhaps it's time for us to stop and pay attention, to our bodies, minds, and the world. For thousands of years Eastern traditions have taught meditation to help people lead healthier, happier lives. Now, scientific research is confirming that mindfulness can help us all improve our mental and physical well-being. Written by Dr. Jonty Heaveresdge and Ed Halliwell, The Mindful Manifesto integrates the latest scientific and medical research on mindfulness with meditation's historical context. We will see how mindfulness can:
· treat mental health problems such as depression and anxiety
· help us cope with the busyness of everyday life
· improve our physical health and manage chronic illness
· help us let go of unwanted behaviors and improve how we function in our relationships and jobs.
And why stop there? With examples of how the mindfulness movement is already well underway, we see that encouraging governments and other powerful institutions to take a mindful approach could make a massive difference to the health and happiness of the whole world.
 Blood Work: A Tale of Medicine and Murder in the Scientific Revolution
(Paperback)
By Holly Tucker
List Price: $15.95
Our Price: $11.17
(Save: $4.79 30%)
"Excellent. . . . Tucker's chronicle of the world of 17th-century science in London and Paris is fascinating."-The Economist
In December 1667, maverick physician Jean Denis transfused calf's blood into one of Paris's most notorious madmen. Days later, the madman was dead and Denis was framed for murder. A riveting exposé of the fierce debates, deadly politics, and cutthroat rivalries behind the first transfusion experiments, Blood Work takes us from dissection rooms in palaces to the streets of Paris, providing an unforgettable portrait of an era that wrestled with the same questions about morality and experimentation that haunt medical science today.
