Statistical design is one of the fundamentals of our subject, being at the core of the growth of statistics during the previous century. Design played a key role in agricultural statistics and set down principles of good practic, principles that still apply today. Statistical design is all about understanding where the variance comes from, and making sure that is where the replication is. Indeed, it is probably correct to say that these principles are even more important today. Read more

Osteopathy Is in the Blood is perfused with osteopathic wisdom. This important work presents new and perhaps unexpected knowledge about the blood and vascular system of vital importance to bodily function. Drawing upon cutting-edge science, biodynamic embryology, and perceptive insight, it presents a wealth of information to guide new approaches to treatment.Many concepts, key to understanding how the cardiovascular system and movement of the blood works, are presented utilizing extensive visual aids and supporting research. A few of the key concepts expounded in the book are: The heart is a generator; the heart is not a pump.Blood is attracted to its destination by the nutritional needs of the tissues. Vortical flow and structured (EZ) water play crucial roles in propelling the blood.There are important embryologic underpinnings of the structure and function of the system.The transfer of information from the blood into the extracellular matrix/interstitium and cells involves the Traube-Hering pressure wave, ionic-electromotive factors, gel-sol phase shifting, and a calcium flux.The book draws on and synthesises the work of many innovative scientific thinkers, including Viktor Schauberger, Gerald Pollack, Francisco Torrent Guasp, Bjorn Nordenstrom, Irving Dardik, and Brian Freeman.This text is aimed at integrating scientific principles with osteopathic practice, opening doors to very real and successful clinical applications. These present-day scientific discoveries also serve to explain what practitioners feel, sense, experience, and work with in their osteopathic treatments. The inspiring thoughts and theories offered reveal completely new therapeutic possibilities for osteopaths to work with in the cardiovascular system and throughout the body.The book documents and supports the scientific basis of the profound insights that Andrew Taylor Still, the founder of osteopathy, described 120 years ago. The research demonstrates that the founding principles of osteopathy are fully backed up by modern scientific understanding. Osteopathy Is in the Blood is an invaluable reference text for all osteopaths, and it also serves as an essential companion to The Rule of the Artery courses offered around the globe.Studying these concepts will challenge osteopaths to think more deeply about and work more effectively with the blood and circulation, which is fundamental to exploring the full potential of all that osteopathy has to offer in the enhancement of health in our patients.

"A truly comprehensive, scientifically rigorous and utterly fascinating account of when, how, and why we dream. Put simply, When Brains Dream is the essential guide to dreaming." ―Matthew Walker, author of Why We SleepQuestions on the origins and meaning of dreams are as old as humankind, and as confounding and exciting today as when nineteenth-century scientists first attempted to unravel them. Why do we dream? Do dreams hold psychological meaning or are they merely the reflection of random brain activity? What purpose do dreams serve?When Brains Dream addresses these core questions about dreams while illuminating the most up-to-date science in the field. Written by two world-renowned sleep and dream researchers, it debunks common myths that we only dream in REM sleep, for example―while acknowledging the mysteries that persist around both the science and experience of dreaming.Antonio Zadra and Robert Stickgold bring together state-of-the-art neuroscientific ideas and findings to propose a new and innovative model of dream function called NEXTUP―Network Exploration to Understand Possibilities. By detailing this model’s workings, they help readers understand key features of several types of dreams, from prophetic dreams to nightmares and lucid dreams. When Brains Dream reveals recent discoveries about the sleeping brain and the many ways in which dreams are psychologically, and neurologically, meaningful experiences; explores a host of dream-related disorders; and explains how dreams can facilitate creativity and be a source of personal insight.Making an eloquent and engaging case for why the human brain needs to dream, When Brains Dream offers compelling answers to age-old questions about the mysteries of sleep. 17 illustrations Read more
