'Clever and witty.' Susie Orbach, Guardian Carl Gustav Jung was the
enigmatic and controversial father of analytical psychology. This
updated edition of Introducing Jung brilliantly explains the
theories that underpin Jung's work, delves into the controversies
that led him to break away from Freud and describes his near
psychotic breakdown, from which he emerged with radical new
insights into the nature of the unconscious mind - and which were
published for the first time in 2009 in The Red Book. Step by step,
Maggie Hyde demonstrates how it was entirely logical for him to
explore the psychology of religion, alchemy, astrology, the I Ching
and other phenomena rejected by science in his investigation of his
patients' dreams, fantasies and psychic disturbances.
What really happens at the most fundamental levels of nature?
Introducing Particle Physics explores the very frontiers of our
knowledge, even showing how particle physicists are now using
theory and experiment to probe our very concept of what is real.
From the earliest history of the atomic theory through to
supersymmetry, micro-black holes, dark matter, the Higgs boson, and
the possibly mythical graviton, practising physicist and CERN
contributor Tom Whyntie gives us a mind-expanding tour of
cutting-edge science. Featuring brilliant illustrations from Oliver
Pugh, Introducing Particle Physics is a unique tour through the
most astonishing and challenging science being undertaken today.
Epigenetics is the most exciting field in biology today, developing
our understanding of how and why we inherit certain traits, develop
diseases and age, and evolve as a species. This non-fiction comic
book introduces us to genetics, cell biology and the fascinating
science of epigenetics, which is rapidly filling in the gaps in our
knowledge, allowing us to make huge advances in medicine. We'll
look at what identical twins can teach us about the epigenetic
effects of our environment and experiences, why certain genes are
'switched on' or off at various stages of embryonic development,
and how scientists have reversed the specialization of cells to
clone frogs from a single gut cell. In Introducing Epigenetics,
Cath Ennis and Oliver Pugh pull apart the double helix, examining
how the epigenetic building blocks and messengers that interpret
and edit our genes help to make us, well, us.
