      Genome Chaos: Rethinking Genetics, Evolution, and Molecular Medicine, Second Edition transports readers from Mendelian genetics to 4D genomics, building a case for genes and genomes as distinct biological entities where the genome, rather than individual genes, defines system-level inheritance and represents a clear unit of selection for macroevolution. In this thought-provoking text, Dr. Henry Heng invigorates fresh discussions in Genome Architecture Theory and helps readers reevaluate their current understanding of human genetics, evolution, and new pathways for advancing molecular and precision medicine.In this timely new edition, Dr. Heng fully embraces the integration of system information with genome-mediated evolutionary mechanisms, and supports this framework with recent findings and growing, interdisciplinary research. Ten evidence-based chapters discuss 4D genomics, genes and genomes as distinct biological entities, genome chaos and cellular macroevolution, karyotype coding and fuzzy inheritance, as well as an entirely novel model of evolution driven by information flow, and more. Brand-new chapters consider the creation and maintenance of system information for complexity and biodiversity, as well as modes of analyzing information-based and historically contingent evolutionary framework. This synthesis offers a revolutionary paradigm of evolutionary theory. It also hypothesizes about how information flow, matter arrangement, and energy interact.

      The rapid advancement in the field of applied behavior analysis (ABA) over the last several decades, is likely attributable to the success in application to supporting the needs of individuals with autism spectrum disorder/autistic individuals. Yet, the power and potential of ABA is not in application to a specific area, but to any area of social significance. Applied Behavior Analysis for Clinical, Educational, and Training Applications provides a comprehensive discussion of the applications that ABA professionals could apply their skill set to. This volume introduces the three top areas of application for ABA skills: Clinical, Educational, and Training, including pediatric psychology, juvenile correction services and applied animal behavior. Each chapter will review how behavior analysts can use their conceptual, basic, and translational training and apply it to actual practice. The aim of this book is to not only provide readers with the skills, knowledge, and experience to enter any of these fields, bult ultimately succeed.
