Experimental Life establishes the multiple ways in which Romantic authors appropriated the notion of experimentation from the natural sciences. Winner of the Michelle Kendrick Memorial Book Prize of the Society for Literature, Science, and the Arts, BSLS Book Prize of the British Society for Literature and Science If the objective of the Romantic movement was nothing less than to redefine the meaning of life itself, what role did experiments play in this movement? While earlier scholarship has established both the importance of science generally and vitalism specifically, with regard to Romanticism no study has investigated what it meant for artists to experiment and how those experiments related to their interest in the concept of life. Experimental Life draws on approaches and ideas from contemporary science studies, proposing the concept of experimental vitalism to show both how Romantic authors appropriated the concept of experimentation from the sciences and the impact of their appropriation on post-Romantic concepts of literature and art. Robert Mitchell navigates complex conceptual arenas such as network theory, gift exchange, paranoia, and biomedia and introduces new concepts, such as cryptogamia, chylopoietic discourse, trance-plantation, and the poetics of suspension. As a result, Experimental Life is a wide-ranging summation and extension of the current state of literary studies, the history of science, cultural critique, and theory.

This book presents results of lifespan prolongation studies obtained from experimental animal models and clinical and epidemiological human investigations. Modern theories, experimental models, and mathematical models of aging are described, as well as factors identified in lifespan prolongation, such as reduced body temperature, calorie- and protein-restricted diets, antioxidants, enterosorption, motor activity, modulators of genome expression, ionizing radiation, vitamins, microelements, and revitalizers. Gerontologists, physiologists, biochemists, and physicians active in the field of aging will find this book to be an interesting addition to their reference library.

For his first book, AJ Jacobs read the entire Encyclopedia Britannica. For his second, he followed every single rule in the Bible. Now comes a collection of his most outrageous, hilarious and thought-provoking experiments yet. In My Experimental Life Jacobs puts himself to a series of bizarre and ridiculous tests, from total obedience to his long-suffering wife and 'Radical Honesty', to living as a beautiful woman and outsourcing his personal life to India (whether sending an email, having a weekly chat with his parents or arguing with his wife). Written by an author who has been compared in the British press to Woody Allen and Bill Bryson, The Guinea Pig Diaries will be one of the funniest, most entertaining and most illuminating books of the year.

"The Cavendishes flourished during the high tide of British aristocracy following the revolution of 1688-89, and the case can be made that this aristocracy knew its finest hour when Henry Cavendish gently laid his delicate weights in the pan of his incomparable precision balance. For this it took two generations and two kinds of invention, one in social forms and the other in scientific technique. This biography tells how it came to pass."--Book jacket

In ten weeks, one female fruit fly can produce more descendants than there are people on Earth. Some fruit flies are born without genitals - scientists call these mutants 'Ken and Barbie' - whereas others are born with their legs on their heads. They can be trained by punishment and reward, and have a work-and-rest schedule based on the 24-hour clock. They can become addicted to crack cocaine. Males have toxic semen, which is bad news for females: too much sex can kill them. And there are more than 1,000 species living in Hawaii.The amazing fruit fly is, in fact, an unsung hero in the history of science. No popular account exists of the fruit fly or its pioneering role in many of this century's greatest discoveries. This book corrects this poor public image by telling the story of modern biology - from genetics to evolution, physiology to ecology, medicine to psychology - through the life of the fly. In a highly original and entertaining style, Martin Brookes takes us through successive stages in the life cycle of the fly, each illustrating an important concept in biology. From the incredible journey from embryo to adult, to the nature of memory and learning and theories of ageing, this book reveals how one short and seemingly insignificant life has informed almost every aspect of human existence. The result is a broad introduction to biology, evolution and genetics based around the personality of the fly, and a 'warts and all' insight into the practical realities of science. Often dismissed as irrelevant, the fruit fly will, through this unique synthesis, come to be recognised for what it really is: an icon of modern science and a window on our own biological world.

100 EXPERIMENTS TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE Ralph Waldo Emerson once said "All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better." Many of us spend our days as if we are going to live forever. We dream about things we never do. We think about things we never say. We sit and hope and expect things to fall into our lap but guess what? They never do. If you want something you have never had, you have to do something you have never done before. If you truly want to achieve a goal or a dream you will find a way. If you don't, you will find an excuse. This book is a compilation of 100 life experiments or what can also be considered to be a bunch of dares. I dare you to do them all to prove you are awake and alive in this world. These life experiments are going to force you to get outside your comfort zone. You will need to get over your fears, try something different, stand up for yourself and learn how to have fun again. Ultimately it is going to be up to you. Are you ready to take action? Don't be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try. It's time to remember what it feels like to be alive again. To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist. Oscar Wilde
