Ergebnis für "The Genetic Lottery Why DNA Matters for Social Equality" in Alle Kategorien

In The Genetic Lottery, Harden introduces listeners to the latest genetic science, dismantling dangerous ideas about racial superiority and challenging us to grapple with what equality really means in a world where people are born different. Weaving together personal stories with scientific evidence, Harden shows why our refusal to recognize the power of DNA perpetuates the myth of meritocracy, and argues that we must acknowledge the role of genetic luck if we are ever to create a fair society.

Ein neues Ermittler-Duo aus Island. Er schlägt erbarmungslos zu. Wie aus dem Nichts. Zuerst trifft es eine junge Mutter nachts in ihrer Wohnung in Reykjavik. Wenig später verliert eine zweite Frau unter brutalen Umständen ihr Leben. Der erste große Fall für Kommissar Huldar. Der hat noch ein Problem: Er muss mit der Psychologin Freya zusammenarbeiten, mit der er kürzlich nach einer Kneipentour die Nacht verbracht hat - allerdings als angeblicher Zimmermann von den Westfjorden.

James D. Watson, the Nobel laureate whose pioneering work helped unlock the mystery of DNA's structure, charts the greatest scientific journey of our time, from the discovery of the double helix to today's controversies to what the future may hold. Updated to include new findings in gene editing, epigenetics, and agricultural chemistry as well as two entirely new chapters on personal genomics and cancer research. This is the most comprehensive and authoritative exploration of DNA's impact on our society and our world.

In DNA, Ell’s five-year-old son Zage has become interested in the effects of certain genes on obesity. He’s obtained permission to do research in a university lab where he hopes to test some of his ideas. Work is being done to evaluate the possibility of terraforming the planet Mars by using Ell’s port technology to bring in water, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen from various other worlds in the solar system.

In this groundbreaking approach to the evolution of all life, Richard Dawkins shows how the body, behaviour, and genes of every living creature can be read as a book – an archive of the worlds of its ancestors. A perfectly camouflaged desert lizard has a desiccated landscape of sand and stones ‘painted’ on its back. Its skin can be read as a description of ancient deserts in which its ancestors survived – and, before that, of the worlds of its more remote ancestors: a genetic book of the dead.

En ung kvinde bliver brutalt myrdet i sit hjem i Reykjavik. Det eneste vidne er hendes syvårige datter. Da endnu en kvinde kort efter bliver myrdet på bestialsk vis, mistænker politiet straks, at samme gerningsmand står bag begge mord. Kort efter modtager en radioamatør en besynderlig og skræmmende melding, som knytter ham til begge ofre, og nysgerrigt begynder han at efterforske sagen på egen hånd. Lederen af efterforskningen, Huldar, står uden konkrete spor.

The burgeoning new science of epigenetics offers a cornucopia of insights - some comforting, some frightening. For example, the male fetus may be especially vulnerable to certain common chemicals in our environment, in ways that damage not only his own sperm but also the sperm of his sons. And it’s epigenetics that causes identical twins to vary widely in their susceptibility to dementia and cancer. But here’s the good news: unlike mutations, epigenetic effects are reversible. Indeed, epigenetic engineering is the future of medicine.

There is no limit to how much money and success you can manifest through the Law of Attraction because this immense spiritual power does not have an opinion about what you should or should not have. You can use the Law of Attraction to manifest ten cents or ten million dollars. The determining factor is belief and expectancy, which can be harnessed by using the spiritual tools discussed in this audiobook.

We use DNA routinely - to cure diseases, solve crimes, and reunite families. Yet we've known about it for only 60 years. And what we're continuing to learn about it every day has the potential to transform our health, our nutrition, our society, and our future. But what, exactly is DNA, the self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms?
