Most excitingly, Carey reveals the amazing possibilities for humankind that epigenetics offers for us all - and in the surprisingly near future.. 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. Biologist Nessa Carey deftly explains such diverse phenomena as how queen bees and ants control their colonies, why tortoiseshell cats are always female, why some plants need a period of cold before they can flower, why we age, develop disease and become addicted to drugs, and much more. 'A book that would have had Darwin swooning - anyone seriously interested in who we are and how we function should read this.' Guardian At the beginning of this century enormous progress had been made in genetics. The cutting-edge of biology, however, is telling us that we still don't even know all of the questions. This is epigenetics and it's the fastest-moving field in biology today. 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 oPositives for this book & program:Simple - green light foods are listed, and that's what you have.Recipes - easy to follow, most I've tried are good & I'd make them again.Other family members can eat what you do.Relatively easy to shop, not a lot of exooic foods required.It is very healthy. And that no one can do anything about it. They'll have you crawling like a bear or scuttling around like a crab. So, he was not satisfied when he didn't have to do those things in the States (where people were unequal), but satisfied when he had to do it in China? (It has been said that "People who bite the hand that feeds them usually lick the boot that kicks them. Excellent textbook overview of subject. Yet he was able to travel to the US and Europe for many times including the pre-Deng years. My favorite was the Japanese Fried Chicken.. Over the years, I began drinking more frequently and in greater quantity (although always 'safely' - either at home or when someone else was driving). BPD is a common problem, especially amongst young women and the more information a person has, the better this person is able to understand the effects of this disorder. It made me believe, more than ever, that the light thatCarey's experience of the biotechnology industry shows in her concluding remarks on the pros and cons of our growing understanding of epigenetics for drug discovery, and on understanding the impact of diet and environment on disease.' -- Nature 'An exhilarating exploration of an exciting new field, and a good gift for a bright biology student looking for a career choice.' -- Kirkus Review . 'A book that would have had Darwin swooning - anyone seriously interested in who we are and how we function should read this book.' -- Guardian 'Nessa Carey takes us on a lively and up-to-date tour of what's known about epigenetic mechanisms and their implications for ageing and cancer.' -- BBC Focus 'A splendidly clear explanation' -- Colin Berry The Oldie 'Fascinating stuff.' -- Bookseller 'A hugely compelling explanation of the v
