Just over a decade since Matt Ridley's seminal Genome, Nessa Carey presents a hugely compelling explanation of the very latest from the frontline of modern biology. How is it that, despite each cell in your body carrying exactly the same DNA, you don't have teeth growing out of your eyeballs or toenails on your liver? How can one blueprint lead to so many different results? It ...(展开全部)

Epigenetics can potentially revolutionize our understanding of the structure and behavior of biological life on Earth. It explains why mapping an organism's genetic code is not enough to determine how it develops or acts and shows how nurture combines with nature to engineer biological diversity. Surveying the twenty-year history of the field while also highlighting its latest ...(展开全部)

At the beginning of this century enormous progress had been made in genetics. The Human Genome Project finished sequencing human DNA. It seemed it was only a matter of time until we had all the answers to the secrets of life on this planet. The cutting-edge of biology, however, is telling us that we still don't even know all of the questions. How is it that, despite each cell i...(展开全部)

Epigenetics upends natural selection and genetic mutation as the sole engines of evolution, and offers startling insights into our future heritable traits. In the 1700s, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck first described epigenetics to explain the inheritance of acquired characteristics; however, his theory was supplanted in the 1800s by Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection thr...(展开全部)

西方世界的精神病学机构和康复行业将成瘾称为脑部疾病。 但在《欲望生物学》中，认知神经科学家、前瘾君子马克·刘易斯提出了令人信服的案例，证明成瘾不是一种疾病，并说明了为什么这种疾病模型已成为治愈的障碍。 刘易斯揭示成瘾是大脑在一个不合作的世界中做它应该做的事情——寻求快乐和解脱——的意外结果。 结果，大多数基于疾病模型的治疗都失败了。 刘易斯展示了如何重新调整治疗以实现持久康复。 对于任何个人或职业上与毒瘾作斗争的人来说，这都是一本具有启发性和乐观的读物。 The psychiatric establishment and rehab industry in the Western world have branded addiction a brain disease. But in The Biology of Desire, cognitive ...(展开全部)
