Robert Root-Bernstein (b. August 7, 1953) (Ph.D., Princeton University) is a professor of physiology at Michigan State University. In 1981, he was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship, commonly known as a "genius grant." He has also researched and consulted on creativity for more than fifteen years. Among other books, he has authored ''Sparks of Genius: The Thirteen Thinking Tools of the World's Most Creative People'', ''Discovering: Inventing and Solving Problems at the Frontiers of Scientific Knowledge'', and ''Rethinking AIDS: The Tragic Cost of Premature Consensus.'' In ''Rethinking AIDS'', Root-Bernstein postulated that factors in addition to HIV may contribute to AIDS. Root-Bernstein is a former member of the Group for the Scientific Reappraisal of the HIV-AIDS Hypothesis, a group of AIDS denialists. Root-Bernstein asserts that HIV, while involved in the development of AIDS, may be no more important than an accumulation of co-factors such as a history of poor nutrition, lack of hygiene, intravenous drug use, anal intercourse, as well as various infections and lifestyle diseases. In its April 2004 issue, POZ published a quote it attributed to Root-Bernstein: "Both the camp that says HIV is a pussycat and the people who claim AIDS is all HIV are wrong . . . The denialists make claims that are clearly inconsistent with existing studies. When I check the existing studies, I don’t agree with the interpretation of the data, or, worse, I can’t find the studies (all )." ==Books authored== * ''Discovering: Inventing and Solving Problems at the Frontiers of Science'', Harvard University Press, 1989. * ''Five Myths About AIDS That Have Misdirected Research and Treatment'', Contemporary Issues in Genetics and Evolution, 1994. * ''Rethinking AIDS: The Tragic Cost of Premature Consensus'', Free Press, 1993, ISBN 978-0-02-926905-3 * ''Honey, Mud, Maggots and Other Medical Marvels'', (with Michele Root-Bernstein), Houghton Mifflin, 1997. * ''Sparks of Genius: The Thirteen Thinking Tools of the World's Most Creative People'', Houghton Mifflin, 1999. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert Root-Bernstein」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
