Extractions: By Laird Harrison (WebMD) The phone kept ringing; the kids kept screaming; your boss kept demanding. It's been one of those days. So after dinner, you fill the bathtub with hot water and settle in for a good, long soak. That's hydrotherapy therapeutic treatment that comes from the temperature and pressure of water. It doesn't take a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to tell you that it works for a little relaxation. But scientists are just beginning to measure hydrotherapy's power in treating disease.
Extractions: By Laird Harrison (WebMD) Mary Bolton is traveling a lot these days to places like Versailles and Nice, France, where she stays in beautiful hotels and spends hours soaking in hot baths. But no one who knows her is envious. Six years ago, the Hyannis, Massachusetts, resident came down with an excruciatingly painful disease that has crippled her with swelling and pain. Doctors don't know the cause of her condition. No matter what drugs they give her, she can barely walk. So instead, Bolton travels thousands of miles every year for a type of therapy that dates back to ancient times: spa bathing. "It's just wonderful," says Bolton, a retired government worker. "I feel a lot better."

Extractions: Reporting on Science and Society May 23, 2004 SEED MAGAZINE: PROFILE OF PERCIVAL LOWELL (Lowell at his telescope in 1897. Courtesy of the Lowell Observatory.) The Man Who Saw Red by Erik Baard On Mars, there are scars left by water, gullies crinkling the edges of craters, spherules of hematite studding the ground at Meridiani Planum, and a canyon, Valles Marineris, that would stretch from New York to Los Angeles. But none of these magnificent sights has been described as beautifully as those that never were. In 1908, Percival Lowell scion, diplomat, ethnographer, author, and most famously, amateur astronomer announced, "There are celestial sights more dazzling, spectacles that inspire more awe, but to the thoughtful observer who is privileged to see them well, there is nothing in the sky so profoundly impressive as these canals of Mars. Fine lines and little gossamer filaments only, cobwebbing the face of the Martian disk, but threads to draw one's mind after them across the millions of miles of intervening void." Lowell s mind saw not only canals, but canals feeding oases to sustain great cities of an ancient, dying civilization. His speculations swelled for more than a decade in what is remembered as one of the greatest displays of public foolishness in science. But Lowells stirring vision somehow rose above its own wrongness to propel exploration.

Extractions: The Mexican sierra [fish] has "XVII-15-IX" spines in the dorsal fin. These can easily be counted ... We could, if we wished, describe the sierra thus: "D. XVII-15-IX; A. II-15-IX," but we could see the fish alive and swimming, feel it plunge against the lines, drag it threshing over the rail, and even finally eat it. And there is no reason why either approach should be inaccurate. Spine-count description need not suffer because another approach is also used. Perhaps, out of the two approaches we thought there might emerge a picture more complete and even more accurate that either alone could produce.
