Line drawings. Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly C hopra ( Quantum Healing ) is one of our perennial gurus, appealin g to millions but offering them a suspect brew of panacea and esc apism. The message of his new book? We are not victims of aging, sickness, and death. These are part of the scenery, not of the se er, who is immune to any form of change. This seer is the spirit, the expression of eternal being. The basis for his belief, Chopr a argues, is quantum physics and the work of such scientists as H eisenberg, Bohr and Einstein, with whose help Chopra proposes to tell us how to stave off the inevitable changes brought on by mor tality and the passing of years. He advises us on how to defeat e ntropy, to believe enough to offer palpable resistance to process es of physical alteration, and to reinterpret your body such that renewal will come of it. He himself believes in a land where no one is old, and where we create our bodies as we create the exper ience of our world. He is also a proponent of the science of long evity, and cites research by doctors (sometimes nameless) to back himself up when expounding upon it. But alert readers will finis h the book with unsettling questions, the result of a book that i s rife with inspirational conviction but at times thin on substan ce. 150,000 first printing; major ad/promo; author tour; BOMC and QPB selection. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal Chopra, a proponent of the Indian Maharishi Ayurveda system of healing, has written a book that combines phil osophy, biology, and modern health research in an attempt to conv ince the reader that the effects of aging are largely preventable . Since the practical suggestions are mixed in with theory, case studies, and rather complicated biological data, the book sometim es rambles and seems disorganized. Several of the recommendations about diet and exercise contradict each other. Followers of Chop ra will demand this book.

Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 3/1/93. - Nat alie Kupferberg, Montana State Univ. Lib., Bozeman Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Kirkus Reviews You can liv e to be a hundred and enjoy each of those years as a fully functi oning person--or so says Chopra (Unconditional Life, 1991, etc.) in this challenging work. An intriguing set of Census Bureau stat istics cited here notes that the number of centenarians is twice what it was ten years ago- -and is expected to double again by th e millennium. Prolonging fruitful lives is not a question of mind over matter, Chopra contends, but, rather, of mind and matter--m ind and body--together at one with the universe. It's often hard for pragmatic Westerners to deal with this kind of mind/spirit/bo dy talk, but Chopra has a talent for anchoring the ephemeral in w hat's generally considered reality, and for leading spiritual nov ices through the swamps of such concepts as awareness, detachment , and self without resorting overly to New Age slang. In discussi ng how awareness--or lack of it--affects the physical symptoms of aging, for instance, Chopra builds an authoritative base using r esearch from Harvard, Duke, and Stanford that shows that mental, social, and intellectual activity can keep people vital and alert as they age. But because many of us have poor models for aging, we accept the idea that getting old means pain, intellectual deca y, and inactivity. Bringing attention or awareness to areas of di scomfort is the first step to changing problems, Chopra argues, o ffering a step-by-step routine to make one or more of those chang es. Along with reflections on such provocative concepts as cellul ar memory and metabolizing time,'' the author also tackles the po sitive aspects of aging--creativity and wisdom--and the value of those old standbys, diet and exercise. A separate chapter examine s, not altogether satisfactorily, India's traditional medical sys tem of Ayurveda. A guide to longevity that's also a thoughtful an d sometimes inspiring reflection on our remarkable place in the c osmic scheme of things. -- Copyright 1993, Kirkus Associates, LP.

Krannich We spend too much time at work not to be hap py with the work we do. -Ed. C, age 62 EE Dan's Story It's diff icult to highlight the most challenging, difficult aspects of my career change because so many issues have been part of my decisio n. I left the corporate world because there was not enough flexi bility to allow me to be more involved with my family. An extreme ly long commute and frequent travel had combined to convince me t hat I was literally losing my soul-some essential part of me and my life that was vital to who I am. So it was not just the frayin g of the connections with my wife and daughter that prompted this leap of faith, but a fraying of something inside me. And I was n o longer willing to simply accept the belief that that is just th e way life is. I saw no viable alternative but to start out on my own, on my own terms. The emotional side of this has been very difficult for me-the self-doubt, at times the despair, the thinki ng I was crazy for making this move. Yet somehow I kept finding t he courage to move forward and to do what I need to do to get the re. I have never been so acutely aware of running up against my own personal shortcomings, and the fear that those shortcomings w ill do me in. And yet I have characteristics that I've used to co mpensate for some of those shortcomings, such as tenacity and res ilience. And I have reached out to people like yourself who have been willing to help me. In some ways, this has been an exercise in trusting that the combination of my strengths and my shortcomi ngs will balance out so that, on my own terms, I will succeed. D an, age 43, married with a 4-year-old daughter, resigned from the human resources department of a Fortune 100 company in the fall of 1997. He started his own employee benefits consulting business in western New Jersey, and works out of his home. This is Dan's second major career change; at age 27 he left the ministry to ent er the corporate world. You deserve it, you know. You deserve t o be not stressed, frustrated, overworked, underappreciated, exha usted, exploited, and unfulfilled. You deserve more meaningful re wards for work than money. You deserve to be recognized as a vita l human being, rather than treated as an expendable commodity. Yo u deserve to succeed in a vocation that fills your soul, not surv ive in one that fills only your wallet. You deserve to feel bette r physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Your famil y deserves it as well. So . . . why not you? The only limit to the realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. -Frankl in D. Roosevelt You can't steal second with your foot on first. -Anonymous Dan's story is typical of those collected for this b ook- collected from men and women who, like Dan and me, found tha t we could no longer remain in a career, no matter how financiall y rewarding, that didn't also reward our insides. Like Dan, most of us experienced the subtle, gradual fraying of family connecti ons, the awareness of losing some essential part of ourselves, th e self-doubt, the fears, the gnawing financial concerns. But we a lso felt that, despite the fear and anxiety, we had no choice-tha t we had to leave our physically, emotionally, and spiritually dr aining jobs. As Karen E., 46, remarked: There must be more to lif e than this. Some of us went to work for another employer; some o f us went into business for ourselves. Dan quipped, I started my own business so that I knew at least one person who would hire me . Some of us had clarity about our new vocation; some of us only knew that we had to quit what we were doing. Generally, the new vocations we want to get into pay less than the ones we want to l eave. Indeed, our career-change survey shows that three-fifths of respondents make less than they did in their former jobs. So the majority of us have had to downshift economically to make our ca reer moves a reality. Dan earns half what he made in his last pos ition; I still earn less than half. The accompanying fear of econ omic insecurity at first paralyzed us, even in two-income househo lds. It's far and away the greatest stumbling block in switching careers. We fully empathize with the enormity of such a decision, especially when children are involved. Yet we did it. We faced t he fear, we talked openly and honestly with our spouses and famil ies, we worked through it, and then we discovered a glorious para dox: By working through the anxiety, we discovered that we alread y had more than we needed. That is why, despite the downshifting, 75 percent of us are able to meet our household needs, and a thi rd of us have money left over to spend on luxuries. We found that by letting go of the job, the big income, the title, the status, and even the house, if need be, we received in return the gift o f freedom from economic insecurity. It is not easily come by, but it is decidedly worth all the angst we encounter getting it. As difficult and frightening as downshifting feels at first, the jo urney leads to rewards on many levels-practical, emotional, and s piritual. Sure, we hit bumps, potholes, and the occasional land m ine along the way. But most of us have grown through the process. One bonus is that nearly all of us now are blessed with improved family relationships. Today, we experience happiness, satisfacti on, and fulfillment in our chosen vocations and in our personal l ives that we once only dreamed of. Downshifting wound up making u s richer in the things that really count. It is a thread that run s through nearly all our testimonies. So if you are ready to join us on this wondrous, scary, exhilarating, and immensely fulfilli ng career-change pilgrimage, we offer you a message of hope, the knowledge that you are not alone, and the promise that you can ac complish this successfully. We are all here for you. So Why Not You? Hanging on to my own six-figure-income job involved comprom ise, inauthenticity, and lying (or stretching the truth). Althoug h I worked with many fine people over the years, I frequently had to make nice with incompetent, egotistical, and downright brutal bosses, unreasonable clients, and untrustworthy coworkers. Consc ientiousness and honesty didn't much matter; bringing in ever mor e business did. I traveled and entertained a great deal, so I was away from home at least two nights a week. I watched Wall Street ethics decline from a handshake is a contract in the 1960s to th e winner-take-all, me-first, ethics-be-damned feeding frenzy of t he 1980s. And I was unhappy. I was unhappy with what had happened to my profession, with my seeming inability to extricate myself from it, what was happening to my home life, and what was happeni ng to my soul. I undertook my career change in 1988, at age 50. In the years since then, working environments have clearly worsen ed. Men and women now become stressed out, burned out, fed up, an d downsized as early as their 30s. Regardless of the career, be i t health care, engineering, social services, teaching, or Wall St reet, employers demand ever-greater productivity from each worker without commensurate gains in compensation (other than stock opt ions) or improvement in working conditions. This change is refle cted in an informal survey I conducted. I asked men, women, and c hildren to give me a spontaneous, one-sentence definition of work . A sampling of their replies includes these: Work is what we do to earn money by using our skills. Work is how I support myself and my family. Work is where we spend most of our waking hours. Work is where Mommy [or Daddy, or Mommy and Daddy] goes every d ay. Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictionary defines work a s Bodily or mental effort, exerted to do or to make something; pu rposeful activity; labor; toil. Not one of those surveyed (inclu ding the dictionary) defines work as something to be enjoyed, let alone loved. How truly sad. Why shouldn't work engage us on a de eper, more satisfying and gratifying level? Why shouldn't we be h appy in what we do-look forward to each new day, regardless of th e real-life problems that inevitably arise? What's your definiti on of work? Do you enjoy what it is you do? Love your job? What w ould you like your definition of work to be? Here is the first pi ece of writing for your notebook: Sit down, think carefully about what you want your career to be like, and write it out. Revise i t until it reflects what you're seeking. Then type it (or print i t neatly) and hang it over your desk at home, or by your mirror, and look at it every day. And then have faith that you will somed ay live your definition-if you are willing to do the necessary fo otwork and make the necessary trade-offs. I wrote my definition, and today I live it: Work is what I do to be fulfilled as I earn money. Please note what takes precedence in the sentence: Work is what I do to be fulfilled. The money comes second-but it does co me. And please don't fall into the trap of giving up before you'v e begun, simply because you don't believe that you can do it or y ou can't afford it. You owe it to yourself and to your loved ones to begin the process. It will take you only as far as you believ e it will.

However, all too often a successful design com es only after a painful trial-and-error process that wastes valua ble time and resources. Now in a new edition, Experimental Desig n for the Life Sciences teaches today's students how to effective ly design experiments, equipping them with the skills they need t o become tomorrow's top researchers. Employing a refreshingly app roachable and articulate style, the text explains the essential e lements of experimental design in clear, practical terms, so that students can grasp and apply even the most challenging concepts, including power analysis and pseudoreplication. In addition, it emphasizes the interrelatedness of experimental design, statistic s, and ethical considerations throughout. A broad range of exampl es--drawn from the primary literature and the authors' extensive personal experience--demonstrate the practical relevance of exper imental design in real-life biological research. The only underg raduate text devoted to this topic, Experimental Design for the L ife Sciences, Third Edition, demonstrates how good experimental d esign relies on clear thinking and biological understanding, not on mathematical or statistical complexity.

I An evening mist, salted by the western sea, w as gathering on the low hills - reed-spattered rises running up f rom the rocks then back into the gorse- and bracken-covered count ry - and on to the roads that joined the villages, where lamps an d candles flickered behind the shutters of the grey stone houses. It was poor country - so poor, remarked the Curé, who had recent ly arrived from Angers, that the stones of the shore called out f or God's mercy. With the mist came sputtering rain, made invisibl e by the extinguished light, as it exploded like flung gravel at the windows, while stronger gusts made the shivering pine trees s hed their needles on the dark, sanded earth. Jacques Rebière lis tened to the sounds from outside as he looked through the window of his bedroom; for a moment, a dim moon allowed him to see cloud s foaming in the darkness. The weather reminded him, often, that it was not just he, at sixteen years old, who was young, but all mankind: a species that took infant steps on the drifts and fault s of the earth. Between the ends of his dirtied fingers, Jacques held a small blade which, over the course of several days, he ha d whetted to surgical sharpness. He pulled a candle closer. From downstairs he could hear the sound of his father's voice in reluc tant negotiation. The house was at the top of a narrow street th at ran off the main square of Sainte Agnès. Behind it, the villag e ended and there were thick woods - Monsieur Rebière's own prope rty - where Jacques was meant to trap birds and rabbits and preve nt other villagers doing likewise. The garden had an orchard of p ear and apple trees whose fruits were collected and set to keep i n one of the outbuildings. Rebière's was a house of many stores: of sheds with beaten earth underfoot and slatted wooden shelves; of brick-floored cellars with stone bins on which the cobwebs clo sed the access to the bottles; of barred pantry and latched larde r with shelves of nuts and preserved fruits. The keys were on a r ing in the pocket of Rebière's waistcoat. Although born no more t han sixty years earlier, he was known as 'old Rebière', perhaps f or the arthritic movement of his knees, when he heaved himself up from his chair and straightened the joints beneath his breeches. He preferred to do business standing up; it gave the transaction a temporary air, helping to convince the other party that bargai ning time was short. Old Rebière was a forester who worked as th e agent for a landowner from Lorient. Over the years he had done some business on his own account, acquiring some parcels of land, three cottages that the heirs did not want to keep, some fields and woodland. Most of his work was no more than that of bailiff o r rent collector, but he liked to try to negotiate private deals with a view to becoming a businessman in his own right. Born in t he year after Waterloo, he had lived under a republic, three king s and an emperor; twice mayor of the local town, he had found it made little difference which government was in Paris, since so fe w edicts devolved from the distant centre to his own Breton world . The parlour of the house had smoke-stained wooden panelling an d a white stone chimneypiece decorated with the carved head of a wild boar. A small fire was smouldering in the grate as Rebière a ttempted to conclude his meeting with the notary who had come to see him. He never invited guests into his study but preferred to speak to them in this public room, as though he might later need witnesses to what had passed between them. His second wife sat in her accustomed chair by the door, sewing and listening. Rebière' s tactic was to say as little as possible; he had found that sile nce, accompanied by pained inhalation, often induced nervousness in the other side. His contributions, when they were unavoidable, were delivered in a reluctant murmur, melancholy, full of a wear iness at a world that had obliged him to agree terms so self-woun ding. 'I am not a peasant,' he told his son. 'I am not one of th ose men you see portrayed at the theatre in Paris, who buries his gold in a sock and never buys a bonnet for his wife. I am a busi nessman who understands the modern world.' From upstairs, Jacque s could still hear his father's business murmur. It was true that he was not a peasant, though his parents had been; true too, tha t he was not the miser of the popular imagination, though partly because the amount of gold he had to hoard was not great enough: forty years of dealing had brought him a modest return, and perha ps, thought Jacques, this was why his father had forbidden him to study any further. From the age of thirteen, he had been set to work, looking after the properties, mending roofs and fences, cle aring trees while his father travelled to Quimper and Vannes to c ultivate new acquaintances. Jacques looked back to his table, no t wanting to waste the light of the wax candle he had begged from Tante Mathilde in place of the dingy ox-tallow which was all his father would allow him. He took the blade and began, very carefu lly, to make a shallow incision in the neck of a frog he had pinn ed, through its splayed feet, to the untreated wood. He had never attempted the operation before and was anxious not to damage wha t lay beneath the green skin, moist from the saline in which he h ad kept it. The frog was on its front, and Jacques's blade travel led smoothly up over the top of its head and stopped between the bulging eyes. He then cut two semicircular flaps to join at the n ape of the neck and pushed back the pouches of peeled skin, with their pearls of eyes. Beneath his delicate touch he could see now that there was little in the way of protection for the exposed b rain. He took out a magnifying glass. What is a frog's fury? he thought, as he gazed at the tiny thinking organ his knife had exp osed. It was beautiful. What does it feel for its spawn or its ma te or the flash of water over its skin? The brain of an amphibian is a poor thing, the Curé had warned him; he promised that soon he would acquire the head of a cow from the slaughterhouse, and t hen they would have a more instructive time. Yet Jacques was happ y with his frog's brain. From the side of the table he took two c opper wires attached at the other end to a brass rod that ran thr ough a cork which was in turn used to seal a glass bottle coated inside and out with foil. 'Jacques! Jacques! It's time for dinne r. Come to the table!' It was Tante Mathilde's voice; clearly Ja cques had not heard the notary depart. He set down the electrodes and blew out the candle, then crossed the landing to the top of the almost-vertical wooden staircase and groped his way down by t he familiar indentations of the plaster wall. His grandmother cam e into the parlour carrying a tureen of soup, which she placed on the table. Rebière and his wife, known to Jacques as Tante Mathi lde, were already sitting down. Rebière drummed his knife impatie ntly on the wood while Grandmère ladled the soup out with her sha king hand. 'Take a bowl out to . . .' Rebière jerked his head in the direction of the door. 'Wait,' said Grand-mère. 'There's so me rabbit, too.' Rebière rolled his eyes with impatience as the old woman went out to the scullery again and returned with a seco nd bowl that she handed to Jacques. He carried both dishes carefu lly to the door and took a lantern to light his way out into the darkness, watching his feet on the shiny cobbles of the yard. At the stable, he set down the food and pulled back the top half of the door; he peered in by the light of the flame and felt his nos trils fill with a familiar sensation. 'Olivier? Are you there? I 've brought dinner. There's no bread again, but there's soup and some rabbit. Olivier?' There was a sudden noise from the horse, like the rumbling clatter of a laden table being overturned, as s he shifted in the stall. 'Olivier? Please. It's raining. Where a re you?' Wary of the horse, who lashed out with her hind legs if frightened, Jacques freed the bolt of the door himself and made his way into the ripe darkness of the stable. Sitting with his b ack to the wall, his legs spread wide apart on the dung-strewn gr ound, was his brother. 'I've brought your dinner. How are you?' Jacques squatted down next to him. Olivier stared straight ahea d, as though unaware that anyone was there. Jacques took his brot her's hand and wrapped the fingers round the edge of the soup bow l, noticing what could be smears of excrement on the nails. Olivi er moved his head from side to side, thrusting it back hard again st the stable wall. He muttered something Jacques could not make out and began to scrape at his inner forearm as if trying to rid himself of a bothersome insect. Jacques took a spoonful of the s oup and held it up to Olivier's face. Gently, he prised open his lips and pushed the metal inwards. It was too dark to see how muc h went into his mouth and how much trickled down his tangled bear d. 'They want me to come, they keep telling me. But why should I go, when they know everything already?' 'Who, Olivier? Who does ?' Their eyes met. Jacques felt himself summed up and dismissed from Olivier's mental presence. 'Are you cold? Do you want more blankets?' Olivier became earnest.'Yes, yes, that's it, you've g ot to keep warm, you've to wrap up now the winter's coming. Look. Look at this.' He held up the frayed horse blanket beneath which he slept and examined it closely, as though he had not seen it b efore or had suddenly been struck by its workmanship. Then his v igour was quenched again and his gaze became still. Jacques took his hand. 'Listen, Olivier. It's nearly a year now that you've b een in here. Do you think you could try again? Why don't you come out for a few minutes? I could help.' 'They don't want me.' 'Y ou always say that. But perhaps they'd be happy to have you back in the house.' 'They won't let me go.' Jacques nodded. Olivier was clearly talking of a different 'they', and he was too frighte ned to contradict or to press him. He had been a child when Olivi er, four years the older, started to drift away from his family; it began when, previously a lively and sociable youth, he took to passing the evenings alone in his room studying the Bible and dr awing up a chart of 'astral influences'. Jacques was fascinated b y the diagrams, which Olivier had done in his clever draughtsman' s hand, using pens he had taken from the hôtel de ville, where he worked as a clerk. Jacques's experiences had usually come to hi m first through the descriptions of Olivier, who naturally antici pated all of them. Mathematics at school were a jumble of pointle ss signs, he said, that made you want to cry out; being beaten by the master's ruler on the knuckles hurt more than being kicked o n the shin by the broody mare. Olivier had never been to Paris, b ut Vannes, he told Jacques, was so huge that you got lost the mom ent you let your concentration go; and it was full of women who l ooked at you in a strange way. When changes came to your body, Ol ivier said, you noticed nothing, no hairs bursting the skin, no w rench in your voice; the only difference was that you felt urgent , tense, all the time, as though about to leap a stream or jump f rom a high rock. Olivier's chart of astral influences therefore looked to Jacques like another early glimpse of a universal human experience granted to him by his elder brother. Olivier had been right about everything else: in Vannes, Jacques kept himself ori entated at all times, like a dog sniffing the wind; he liked math ematics, though he saw what Oliver had meant. He avoided the mast er's beatings. 'Where is God in this plan?' he had said, pointin g with his finger. 'I see the planets and their influence and thi s character, here, whatever his name is. But in the Bible, it say s that-' 'God is here, in your head.And here.' Olivier pointed t o the chart. 'But it's a secret.' 'I don't understand,' said Jac ques. 'If this is Earth here, this is Saturn, and here are the ri ngs of Jupiter and this is the body you've discovered, the one th at regulates the movements of people, then what are these lines h ere? Are these the souls of the dead going up to Heaven?' 'Those are the rays of influence. They emanate from space, far beyond a nything we can see. These are what control you.' 'Rays?' 'Of co urse. Like rays of light, or invisible waves of sound. The univer se is bombarded with them.You can't hear them.You can't see them. ' 'Does everyone know about them? All grown-ups?' 'No.' 'How d o you know about them? Who told you?' 'I have been told.' Jacqu es looked away. Over the weeks, he discovered that Olivier's syst em of cosmic laws and influences was invulnerably cogent; there w as in fact something of the weary sage in his manner when he answ ered yet another of Jacques's immature questions about it, while its ability to adapt made it imperme, Vintage Books, 2006, 3, Independently published.
