Popular science master Brian Clegg’s new book is an entertaining tour through the science of what makes you you. From the atomic level, through life and energy to genetics and personality, it explores how the billions of particles which make up you - your DNA, your skin, your memories - have come to be.

Race has provided the rationale and excuse for some of the worst atrocities in human history. Yet, according to many biologists, physical anthropologists, and geneticists, there is no valid scientific justification for the concept of race. To be more precise, although there is clearly some physical basis for the variations that underlie perceptions of race, clear boundaries among "races" remain highly elusive from a purely biological standpoint.

Want to know what exercises are proven to make you gain muscle and strength? Then this book is perfect for you! It tells you the 48 best gym exercises for building strength and gaining muscle. I have included all important muscle groups (Chest, Back, Legs, Arms, Shoulders/Neck, Abs). Many of them are timeless and have been performed by bodybuilders for decades. They are proven to work, and should be part of every workout routine. No fluff or bro science! No need for fancy equipment or a personal trainer.

For decades after the structure of DNA was identified, scientists focused purely on genes, the regions of the genome that contain codes for the production of proteins. Other regions - 98 percent of the human genome - were dismissed as ‘junk’. But in recent years researchers have discovered that variations in this ‘junk’ DNA underlie many previously intractable diseases, and they can now generate new approaches to tackling them.

The emergence of genomic science in the last quarter century has revolutionized medicine, the justice system, and our understanding of who we are. We use genomics to determine guilt and exonerate the falsely convicted; devise new medicines; test embryos; and discover our ethnic and national roots. One might think that, given these advances, most would favor the availability of genomic tools. Yet as Jennifer Hochschild explains in Genomic Politics, the uses of genomic science are both politically charged and hotly contested.

Hvem er jeg? En dna-kode oversat til kød og blod er det hurtige svar, men hvad betyder det? Bestemmer den nedarvede kode alt fra min hårfarve over partnervalg til jobsituation eller har "jeg" noget at skulle have sagt her? Er der i det hele taget et frit og ubundet "jeg", eller gennemspiller "jeg" bare et computerprogram i dna-kode, der dikterer mit liv og min død? Lone Frank har i "Mit smukke genom" sat sig for at finde ud af så meget om sine egne gener som muligt.

Since the discovery of DNA, scientists have believed that genes are fixed entities that cannot be changed by environment - we inherit them, pass them on to our children and take them with us when we die. Professor Tim Spector reveals how the latest genetic research and his own pioneering studies on epigenetics are rewriting everything we thought we knew about genes, identity and evolution.

While in the world of literature and film, mad scientists create monsters like "Frankenstein” and almost all religions are promoting skepticism towards science and the fear of manipulating human beings, reality has bypassed such concerns long ago. Osho has a unique view – supporting science, specifically genetic science – but as a conscious science.

This guide will show you how to take your health into your own hands. You will no longer sit on the sidelines - instead you can play an active and empowered role in the state of your own health. This book will help you: understand how the environment and your genes interact; learn how to use your own genetic information to your advantage; create an actionable plan based on your genomics to radically transform your health and improve your vitality; and discover how to improve your health span and lead a productive, happy, and healthy life.

Humanity has often found itself on the precipice. We've survived and thrived because we've never stopped moving. In this eye-opening book, Johannes Krause, chair of the Max Planck Institute for the History of Humanity, offers a new way of understanding our past, present and future. Marshalling unique insights from archaeogenetics, an emerging new discipline that allows us to read our ancestors' DNA like journals chronicling personal stories of migration, Krause charts two millennia of adaption, movement and survival.

In the new essays collected here, an interdisciplinary group of scholars asks age-old questions about the nature and well-being of humans in the context of a revolutionary new biotechnology - one that has the potential to change the genetic make-up of both existing people and future generations. Welcoming listeners who study related issues and those not yet familiar with the formal study of bioethics, the authors of these essays open up a conversation about the ethics of gene editing.

Eine faszinierende Vorstellung: Wie wäre es, wenn sich die biologische Uhr, die in jedem von uns tickt, anhalten ließe – oder sogar ein Stück zurückdrehen? Und das nicht bloß gefühlt, sondern messbar? Dieses Versprechen ist seit Kurzem Realität. Der junge Forschungszweig der Epigenetik hat den Deckel von der Altersuhr gehoben – und in aktuellen Studien nun sogar den Sprung in die praktische Anwendung geschafft. Genau darum geht es in diesem Hörbuch: Was kann ich ganz konkret tun, um meine Altersuhr zurückzudrehen? Um wie viele Monate oder gar Jahre lässt sich der Zeiger zurückstellen?

With genetics and genetic engineering receiving almost daily coverage in the media, this audiobook is an introduction for general listeners who wish to know more about a science that is changing our world. Starting with the history of genetics, from primitive breeding programmes to Mendel's Law, and moving on to a full explanation of genetics and its role in our future, this is a comprehensive survey of genetics past, present and future.

Vivimos en una era en la que la tecnología avanza rápidamente. La Inteligencia Artificial es cada vez más prominente en nuestra vida cotidiana, lo que nos lleva cada vez más cerca de lo que los tecnócratas de Silicon Valley y otros lugares llaman "La Singularidad". Esto debería ser nuevo para la mayoría de la gente, ya que se habla de ello en todos los medios de comunicación y los famosos cuentan lo maravilloso que será este Brave New World. Pero, ¿qué implica realmente la Singularidad cuando investigamos lo que nos dicen los tecnócratas y lo que nos están dando en forma de ...

¿De dónde venimos? ¿Quiénes somos? ¿Adónde vamos? A estas preguntas atemporales responde el reconocido genetista Lluís Quintana-Murci, mostrando cómo el incremento del conocimiento obtenido en las pasadas décadas por la genética de poblaciones ha transformado nuestro conocimiento de la especie.

How is it that a baboon and a blob of slime mould instinctively know what to eat for optimal health, balancing their protein, fat and carb intake in perfect proportions? In new, groundbreaking research that is transforming our understanding of nutrition, animals from locusts to lions and yes, humans too, demonstrate the remarkable science behind appetite.

Nie war der Traum vom ewigen Leben so aktuell wie heute. Jung, aktiv, gesund und attraktiv wollen wir sein, und das auch im hohen Alter. Nun haben Wissenschaftler das große Rätsel unserer Vergänglichkeit entschlüsselt. Und sie haben erste Techniken entwickelt, die den Alterungsprozess kontrollieren. Der Wissenschaftsjournalist Ulrich Bahnsen nimmt uns mit auf eine spannende Reise zu den weltweit führenden Altersforscher:innen und entdeckt epigenetische Therapien, mit deren Hilfe wir unseren Körper um Jahrzehnte verjüngen können.

In An Appetite for Wonder Richard Dawkins brought us his engaging memoir of the first 35 years of his life from early childhood in Africa to publication of The Selfish Gene in 1976, when he shot to fame as one of the most exciting new scientists of his generation. In Brief Candle in the Dark he continues his autobiography, following the threads that have run through the second half of his life so far and homing in on the key individuals, institutions and ideas that inspired and motivated him.
