Cracking the code to the perfect personalized diet—and a lifetime of super-health Have you ever wondered why a new diet is invented almost every other day, yet obesity levels and disease in this country remain at an all-time high? Have you wondered why the diet that works so well for your friend has no impact on you—or even makes...
Contemporary research on genetic control of disease-transmitting insects knows two kinds of scientists: those that work in the laboratory and those known as ‘field people’. Over the last decade, both groups seem to have developed differing research priorities, address fundamentally different aspects within the overall discipline...
Are you a student with an assignment to research your ancestry? Or
maybe you’re a bit older and recently retired and looking for a hobby.
Or perhaps you simply love puzzles and mysteries, and you discovered that
genealogy is a lot like solving these. It’s even possible that you’re an experienced
researcher who is...
The mystery of inheritance has captivated thinkers since antiquity, and the unlocking of this mystery—the development of classical genetics—is one of humanity’s greatest achievements. This great scientific and human drama is the story told fully and for the first time in this book.
