Do designer brands from Hollywood doctors really work? Are antioxidants the next true anti-aging breakthrough, and is there a Botox-free way to make wrinkles actually disappear? And, most important, how can you know which products are really worth your money and your time?

So how do you know what really works? I’m going to tell you. Because I understand skin-care products from the inside out, I can separate fact from myth, help from hype, and gems from junk and let you know what has been overpraised and overlooked. I’ll be naming names and telling tales of products that deliver and those that are little more than a puff of smoke and a funhouse mirror. I’ll explain the true breakthroughs in today’s skin-care science and the techniques that can truly rejuvenate skin. Ultimately, instead of succumbing to the “inevitable” aging process, you’ll find yourself with a fresh, natural beauty that continues to unfold with time. So welcome to the New Skin-Care Revolution! Let’s get started. —Daniel Yarosh, Ph.D., in The New Science of Perfect Skin

Book Description
The way people perceive the importance of their skin and the way they take care of it differs enormously between males and females and between cultures. Some seem to take little or no care whatsoever others spend their lives in constant repair and make up. What then is normal for skin care? What is good for it in terms of the use of cosmetics and what, if anything, is bad? This book is designed to bring to the reader the science behind what our skin is and does, the products which can be used to preserve or decorate it, and to discuss some of the realities and myths about skin care. It deals with ways in which we can prevent skin damage and premature ageing and the regular skin care regimes and products we can use from a very early age to make the best of what nature gave us.

Book Description
An encyclopedic collection of key scientists and the tools and concepts they developed that transformed our understanding of the physical world. Many are familiar with the ideas of Copernicus, Descartes, and Galileo. But here the reader is also introduced to lesser known ideas and contributors to the Scientific Revolution, such as the mathematical Bernoulli Family and Andreas Vesalius, whose anatomical charts revolutionized the study of the human body. More marginal characters include the magician Robert Fludd. The encyclopedia also discusses subjects like Arabic science and the bizarre history of blood transfusions, and institutions like the Universities of Padua and Leiden, which were dominant forces in academic medicine and science.

Book Description
The Rise of Natural and Organic Skincare In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in the beauty industry towards natural and organic skincare products. People from all walks of life are becoming increasingly aware of the harmful chemicals and synthetic ingredients that are commonly found in conventional skincare products. As a result, a green beauty revolution is taking place, unleashing the power of natural skincare and transforming the way we care for our skin. What exactly is natural and organic skincare? Simply put, it refers to products that are made with ingredients derived from nature, such as plant extracts, essential oils, and minerals. These products are free from harsh chemicals, artificial fragrances, and synthetic additives that can irritate the skin and cause long-term damage. One of the main reasons for the rise in popularity of natural and organic skincare is the growing concern for our health and well-being. Consumers have become more conscious of the potential risks associated with using products that contain harmful ingredients. They are now seeking safer alternatives that not only nourish and protect their skin but also contribute to their overall health. Another driving force behind this revolution is the increasing awareness of our impact on the environment. Conventional skincare products often contain ingredients that are harmful to the ecosystem, as well as being produced through unsustainable practices. By switching to natural and organic skincare, we can reduce our carbon footprint and support brands that prioritize sustainability and ethical sourcing. Furthermore, natural and organic skincare products are known for their effectiveness. Many of these products harness the power of nature to address specific skin concerns, such as dryness, acne, or aging. Plant-based ingredients are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that promote healthy skin and can deliver noticeable results without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive procedures. The rise of natural and organic skincare has also led to a surge in innovation within the industry. As demand grows, more brands are investing in research and development to create high-quality products that meet the needs of a diverse range of skin types and concerns. This means that there are now more options than ever before for individuals to find the perfect skincare routine that suits their unique needs.

Book Description
Originally published 1979 The Scientific Revolution in Victorian Medicine looks at the discovery of inhalation anaesthesia in 1846, and how it began a new era in surgery. The book looks at James Young Simpson’s demonstration of the value of chloroform as an anaesthetic, and how many surgeons quickly adopted it. The book also looks at the dangers of chloroform if mishandled and only after considerable controversy and numerous fatalities was its use thoroughly understood and established. Ten years later an even more lengthy struggle began over antiseptic surgery. The ‘germ’ theory, on which Lister’s technique was founded had few adherents among British surgeons, and his methods were deemed absurdly complicated. He was opposed and sometimes ridiculed by the most distinguished men in the profession, including Simpson. Over ten years were required to persuade the majority of British surgeons that Lister did actually achieve the results which he claimed and that it was possible for a competent surgeon to do equally well, if only he would take the trouble. This book shows that a great many factors interacted in delaying the introduction of these new ideas. The almost wholly unscientific nature of British medical education and practice before 1860 or 1870, detailed in the first chapter, was one factor; rivalry and distrust between London and Scotland was another. Genuine disadvantages in the new methods were not unimportant either, while personal animosities failure to face the facts, and fear of the unknowable consequences of change all played a significant part.
