The Epigenetics Revolution
What's The Epigenetics Revolution about?
The Epigenetics Revolution (2011) is an overview of the cutting-edge field of epigenetics – looking at the various factors that interact with your genes and modify the way they behave in order to make you, you. From mental health to obesity, it examines the fascinating and often unexpected ways that epigenetics can influence our lives and health.
Who should read The Epigenetics Revolution?
- Science enthusiasts interested in biology’s new frontiers
- Dinner-party sages looking to wow friends with fascinating scientific wisdom
- Amateur psychologists open to an epigenetic interpretation of trauma
Junk DNA
What's Junk DNA about?
Junk DNA by Nessa Carey delves into the fascinating world of non-coding DNA, once dismissed as useless. Carey explores the latest research that reveals the hidden potential and important functions of this so-called 'junk' DNA. From its role in evolution to its impact on human health, this book challenges our understanding of genetics and offers a new perspective on the complexity of the genome.
Who should read Junk DNA?
Readers with a curiosity about the mysteries of genetics and DNA
Scientists and researchers looking to expand their understanding of non-coding DNA
Individuals interested in the potential impact of junk DNA on human health and evolution
