Behave The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst / by Sapolsky, Robert M., author 656050, Penguin Random House (Online service) 655978

“…Sapolsky's storytelling concept is delightful but it also has a powerful intrinsic logic: he starts by looking at the factors that bear on a person's reaction in the precise moment a behavior occurs, and then hops back in time from there, in stages, ultimately ending up at the deep history of our species and its evolutionary legacy. …”

Backbone boogie : dance the osteoporosis away! by Gey, Elainn Yee Rong, Lim, Cheryl Yi Xuan, Tan, Cammie Yi Jia

“…Based on the formative research gathered, reducing susceptibility to osteoporosis was found to be largely dependent on early prevention through a combination of calcium, vitamin D and regular weight-bearing exercise. Exercise was the least known aspect of osteoporosis prevention by the target audience and about 50% did not regularly exercise at all. …”
