In 1987, Barry Lynes wrote the classic book on Rife history called The Cancer Cure That Worked. Rife's World of Electromedicine is the sequel, published in 2009. What is the difference between the two books? The Cancer Cure That Worked was primarily a biographical account of Royal Raymond Rife's life and work, including detailed, dated records of the events which occurred, and in-depth accounts from the people involved. Rife's World of Electromedicine, on the other hand, is a bird's eye view, short summary of the same time period and events. Instead of a detailed biography, Rife's World is an expository piece that includes brief, targeted chapters addressing each aspect of Rife's era, utilizing piercing, specific, and direct quotes and excerpts from historical documents including magazine and newspaper articles, court transcripts, Rife's own statements, and the eye-witness accounts of those who were present during Rife's lifelong achievements. Written as a short story, Rife's World is affordably priced so that everyone can read about Royal Raymond Rife. The book is a perfect gift for someone who wants to find out more about Rife but doesn't have time to read a longer book. Additionally, the new book explains what 20+ years of additional research and document retrieval by a dedicated grass roots group have discovered and unearthed. Some of the previously missing, key factors in the suppressed and censored cure for cancer were lost or even locked away in physicians' closets for decades in order to prevent censors from destroying overwhelming evidence. Now, this evidence is printed for the first time in Rife's World. Read more

The book describes the core resources in informatics necessary to support biomedical research programs and how these can best be integrated with hospital systems to receive clinical information that is necessary to conduct translational research. The focus is on the authors’ recent practical experiences in establishing an informatics infrastructure in a large research-intensive children’s hospital. This book is intended for translational researchers and informaticians in pediatrics, but can also serve as a guide to all institutions facing the challenges of developing and strengthening informatics support for biomedical research. The first section of the book discusses important technical challenges underlying computer-based pediatric research, while subsequent sections discuss informatics applications that support biobanking and a broad range of research programs. Pediatric Biomedical Informatics provides practical insights into the design, implementation, and utilization of informatics infrastructures to optimize care and research to benefit children.

Children thrive on practical learning opportunities. After more than 34 years of instructing students in the science classroom I can attest that some of the most thrilling experiences they ever had were the discoveries they made while using the compound microscope. Their joy was palpable, whether it was simply seeing salt crystals form on a slide for the first time or watching an amoeba devour a nearby organism.This book includes 57 easy-to-follow microscope activities that I personally used in the classroom as a science teacher. In addition, more than 100 science projects suggestions related to those activities are included.Each activity is structured to be used in the classroom by teachers and also designed to be used by parents and students independently.Each activity included in this book includes:1. An activity title along with a description of the activity’s objective(s)2. A Listing of the materials and the tools required.3. Step by step instructions4. Safety precautions5. Discussion questions: Including open-ended questions related to the activity.6. Activity Related Science Project SuggestionsIf you’re teacher looking for engaging STEM activities to incorporate into lesson plans – this book is for you. The book was purposely designed in an 8 x 11 page format to simplify the photocopying of pages for classroom use. If you’re a parent wanting to encourage curiosity and a love for learning in your child - this book is for you. And last but not least if you’re a student interested in science or searching for a microscope related science project–this book is also for you.Note: This book was written by George H. Boyd, a former science teacher in the South Huntington School District on Long Island, New York. Mr. Boyd spent the majority of his 34-year teaching career devoted to the science education of gifted children. He presently holds two master’s degrees in science - one of which is a master’s degree in science education. In addition, Mr. Boyd owned and operated the S.M.S. Optical Company established in 1972 for more than 45 years – a company specializing in the sale of microscopes and the servicing of microscopes for schools, industry and the medical profession.

"The overall structure of the book is excellent. It gives a good description of supplementary information needed for the average graduate student to understand the physics of Atomic Force Microscopy." Mrs Bulletin The atomic force microscope (Afm) is a highly interdisciplinary instrument that enables measurements of samples in liquid, vacuum or air with unprecedented resolution. The intelligent use of this instrument requires knowledge from many distinct fields of study. These lecture notes aim to provide advanced undergraduates and beginning graduates in all fields of science and engineering with the required knowledge to sensibly use an Afm. Relevant background material is often reviewed in depth and summarized in a pedagogical, self-paced style to provide a fundamental understanding of the scientific principles underlying the use and operation of an Afm. Useful as a study guide to “Fundamentals of Afm”, an online video course available at https://nanohub.org/courses/Afm1/ Suitable for Graduate/Undergraduate Independent Reading and Research Course in Afm (with the combination of book and online videos) Read more
