Product Description

Information on many genetic disorders, and the frequent new findings on them, has been extremely difficult to come by—until now. The “Gale Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders” addresses the need for current, hard-to-find facts on emerging discoveries. The two-volume Encyclopedia, presented in a single alphabetical sequence, provides clear, complete information on genetic disorders, including conditions, tests, procedures, treatments and therapies, in articles that are both comprehensive and easy to understand, in language accessible to laypersons. The articles are arranged in a standardized format for quick comparison and ease of use, while non-disorder topics are covered in detail with extended entries. Students will want to consult the “Gale Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders” for useful information on a range of well known disorders, including Down Syndrome, Trisomy, Hemophilia and Tourette Syndrome, and rarely seen diseases such as Meckel Syndrome, Neuraminidase Deficiency and Phenylketonuria.

Editorial Review

Product Description
In March 2001, the National Institutes of Health issued the following warning: "The number of Web sites offering health-related resources grows every day. Many sites provide valuable information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading." Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in Internet-based information, many hours can be wasted searching, selecting, and printing. Since only the smallest fraction of information dealing with Sotos syndrome is indexed in search engines, such as www.google.com or others, a non-systematic approach to Internet research can be not only time consuming, but also incomplete. This book was created for medical professionals, students, and members of the general public who want to conduct medical research using the most advanced tools available and spending the least amount of time doing so. ...

Product Description
Combining two groundbreaking books into one handy volume, The Physical Lincoln Complete is the ultimate guide to the amazing health history of Abraham Lincoln and his family.

Book #1, The Physical Lincoln, examines Lincoln as a physician would. Written in clear, non-technical language for general readers, with more than 200 illustrations, it solves one of the most enduring mysteries in American history: What made Lincoln so tall, thin, and less than attractive? What gave him his large feet, high voice, odd lips, sluggish bowels, and astonishing joint flexibility? The answer points to Lincoln's DNA and the rare genetic disorder "MEN2B."

Book #2, The Physical Lincoln Sourcebook, organizes more than 5900 fully-referenced historical facts into a medical record for the Lincoln family.

Providing fundamental new insights into Lincoln, these are the perfect books to stimulate a young person's interest in science and medicine. See www.physical-lincoln.com for more information. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Fascinating!Zips along like a detective novel!
As a lifelong Lincoln devotee, I thought everything that could possibly be said about Lincoln had been said.Then I read a glowing review in American Heritage magazine about this book and I was intrigued. Now I have my own glowing review to share!This book is endlessly fascinating, easily accessible and so well-written that it never feels like a medical book.As I said in the header, it zips along like a detective novel...and like a good detective novel, I wanted everything else in my life to go away for a while so I could just read this book without putting it down!And when I had finished it, I felt sad that it was done, yet nourished by the content in the way of an excellent gourmet meal.
The Physical Lincoln Complete

5-0 out of 5 stars The Physical Lincoln
This book is really two books in one. The second book is technical and I didn't read it. Instead I read the first book which analyzed the health (or lack thereof) of Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Sotos took on previous authors who thought his ailment was depression or that the burdens of the office aged him prematurely or he had some other ailment. He cogently discussed the rare disease (a relative of Marfan's). This was an easy, enjoyable and convincing narrative. It should appeal to readers who are interested in the history of medicine as well as Lincoln-philes.

5-0 out of 5 stars A fascinating book about a Lincoln most people never knew
This is a thoroughly researched and highly readable book that uses photographs and contemporary accounts to make a convincing case that Abraham Lincoln had a genetic disease, probably passed it to three of his four sons, and would likely have died of cancer within weeks or months of his last photograph in 1865 if he hadn't been assassinated.

This is actually two books in one cover.The second volume contains extensive research notes as well as information about other members of Lincoln's family.If that's not of interest, you can buy just the first volume separately.

5-0 out of 5 stars As good as a fine novel
I have read only a third or so of this book. It is a fascinating subject and the medical conclusions are explained clearly.The author is an excellent writer, thinker, and is witty.I am enjoying reading this and will finish it.

5-0 out of 5 stars A Super-Human Effort
Dr. Sotos has created an amazing compendium of Lincoln medical information, along with world-class note and bibliographical sections.I'm simply amazed that he was able to gather and synthesize the many primary sources which are put forward in his attempt to prove that Lincoln was a victim of a genetic disease called MEN2B.Before attempting to prove his hypothesis, the doctor destroys arguments which favor the president's affliction as Marfan's Syndrome.I ordered both The Physical Lincoln and The Physical Lincoln Sourcebook (they come as one book in edition 1.1).I cannot recommend these two books enough for those with an interest not only in what might have ailed Lincoln, but what others of his time thought of his features as well.Truly a super-human effort on the part of Dr. Sotos.I will certainly purchase updated versions of this fantastic and much needed resource. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description
Since the time when man's mind first busied itself with subjects beyond his own self-preservation and the satisfaction of his bodily appetites, the anomalous and curious have been of exceptional and persistent fascination to him; and especially is this true of the construction and functions of the human body. Possibly, indeed, it was the anomalous that was largely instrumental in arousing in the savage the attention, thought, and investigation that were finally to develop into the body of organized truth which we now call Science. As by the aid of collected experience and careful inference we to-day endeavor to pass our vision into the dim twilight whence has emerged our civilization, we find abundant hint and even evidence of this truth. To the highest type of philosophic minds it is the usual and the ordinary that demand investigation and explanation. But even to such, no less than to the most naive-minded, the strange and exceptional is of absorbing interest, and it is often through the extraordinary that the philosopher gets the most searching glimpses into the heart of the mystery of the ordinary. Truly it has been said, facts are stranger than fiction. In monstrosities and dermoid cysts, for example, we seem to catch forbidden sight of the secret work-room of Nature, and drag out into the light the evidences of her clumsiness, and proofs of her lapses of skill,--evidences and proofs, moreover, that tell us much of the methods and means used by the vital artisan of Life,--the loom, and even the silent weaver at work upon the mysterious garment of corporeality.
