As my several careers unfolded I have been fascinated by the power of the written word, phrase or text in communicating current information and new ideas in strong, powerful ways. These interests have resulted in a professional lifetime dedicated to publishing books (3), book chapters (26), original scientific papers (84) and patent applications (7).
BOOKS:

Reber and G.A. Scheele, eds.) Raven Press, New York , NY., second edition, 1993. Four chapters in this book were written by Dr. Scheele:

Cellular Compartmentation, protein Processing and secretion in the Exocrine Pancreas. George A. Scheele and Horst F. Kern.
The Use of Two-dimensional Gel Electrophoresis and High-Performance Liquid chromatography for the Analysis of Pancreatic Juice. P. J. Padfield and George A. Scheele.
Interdependence of Nutrition and Exocrine Pancreatic Function. C.S. Pitchumoni and George A. Scheele.

Secrets of Anti-Aging Skin Care - The Art of Staying Young. George A. Scheele, M.D. Wind 'n Sea Press, La Jolla , California , 2004.
In this book Dr. Scheele discusses the scientific basis of skin aging and the use of nutrition and anti-oxidants to reverse skin aging. The importance of avoiding excessive exposure to intense sunlight, smoking and environmental pollutants including pesticides, cigarette smoke, gasoline fumes and dirt particles are emphasized. The concepts of molecular and cellular healing, developed in the 1980s, are underscored in relation to maintenance of undamaged, youthful skin.

HUMAN CONNECTIONS: DEAR TO THE HEART
In response to the 9/11 attack on the trade towers in NY City in 2001, Dr. Scheele provided a poignant commentary on both the attack and the state of the American culture at the beginning of the 3rd millennium.
