Books

Two questions run through these books. How does a finding travel from the laboratory into a product, a health claim, or everyday use, and what gets lost or overstated on the way? And where might new science lead, given what evidence and regulation would still be needed? The first book, due later this year, takes up the first question: what survives that journey intact, what quietly turns into more than the data supports, and how to tell the difference. Earlier work for professional and academic readers is not listed here.

The first book is due later this year. Details and purchase links will follow here.

About this books page

The books on this page follow the two questions this project is built on.

The first question: how does a finding travel from the laboratory into a product, a health claim, professional practice, or everyday use, and what gets lost, simplified, or overstated along the way?

The second question: where might new science and technology lead? Which developments amount to real innovation, which are still at an early stage, and what evidence, what regulation, and what practical experience would it take for their potential to become reality?

The first book, due later this year, takes up the translation problem. How does a scientific result move from the laboratory to a finished product? What survives that journey intact, what quietly turns into more than the data supports, and how can you tell the difference?

Later books may turn to the second question and examine how early developments could change consumer health, without presenting possibility as prediction or early promise as established fact.

Over four decades I have written or contributed to a considerable number of books, book chapters, and scientific papers, most of them for a professional or academic readership. Some of that work now describes an evidence base or a regulatory environment that no longer exists.

This page is not a publication list. It carries only the more recent books written for a general readership.
