Eine Entdeckungsreise durch Gene, Genome und Verwandtschaften Ist unsere Persönlichkeit ererbt oder geschaffen? Was verrät die Erbsubstanz DNA über die Geschichte des Menschen? Welche Bedeutung hat das Klonschaf Dolly? Und werden wir schon bald Designerbabys nach Wunsch bestellen? In 50 klaren und unterhaltsamen Essays destilliert Mark Henderson, Wissenschaftsredakteur der Times , die zentralen Konzepte der noch jungen Wissenschaft Genetik heraus. Indem er den Bogen von Darwins Theorie der Evolution und Mendels Kreuzungsexperimenten bis zu den jüngsten, oft kontroversen, wissenschaftlichen Fortschritten dieser Disziplin schlägt, zeigt er auf, wie sehr die Kenntnis der genetischen Maschinerie unser Verständnis vom Leben auf der Erde verändert hat. Voller Beispiele aus dem Alltag, erhellender Zitate und anschaulicher grafischer Darstellungen entfaltet 50 Schlüsselideen Genetik ein breites Panorama. Das Buch vermittelt ein Bild von der Entstehung und Entwicklung des Lebens, indem es zunächst die Geheimnisse der Chromosomen und der DNA wie auch des menschlichen Genoms aufdeckt erläutert, wie durch die Wechselwirkung von Erbe und Umwelt unsere Persönlichkeit geformt wird offenbart, wie die Genetik uns beim Kampf gegen Krebs, AIDS, Malaria und resistente Keime helfen kann erkundet die weitreichenden ethischen Fragen um so kontroverse Themen wie Stammzellforschung, Klonen und die Möglichkeit künstlichen Lebens erhellt die jüngsten Erkenntnisse zu DNA-Schrott, Evo Devo und Epigenetik und wagt einen Blick in die Zukunft der menschlichen Rasse Leicht verständlich, informativ und absolut faszinierend, liefert das Buch nicht nur einen aktuellen Überblick über diesen bedeutsamen Wissenschaftszweig, sondern lässt auch erkennen, was jeden von uns so einzigartig macht.

The Man who let the Cat of Doom out of the Bag is Mark P Henderson’s surreal fantasy (with poetical and musical interludes) which introduces the most unlikely cast ever to have been given an apocalyptic quest. England’s East Sussex coast truly does not know what has hit it when they assemble on its shore. The obsessive psychotherapist Herr Dr von Tür, the shaven-headed Glaswegian enforcer Big Vince, the incompetent Cuthbert Fell, the former champion marathon runner, Selina Crumpett and serial killer Gardner-Carpenter, might all turn heads but are only half a story that also has starring roles for Gabriella de Clare (seeking her True Self), Patricia (an Anglican priest), Abdul (Fell’s only friend), Winston, Esmerelda, Yggrasilsdottir (trees), a pack of mangy dogs and a gnome called Smiley. Each fixated on their own focus, they range far and wide causing ripples in the fabric of time itself, even while the Cat of Doom is still firmly entrapped within its bag. But inexorably they stumble closer to an inevitable, ultimately satisfying and epic denouement.

This compilation is a spectacular look at the extraordinary evolution of a remarkable artist. In „Poolside Pleasures,“ we look back at Mark Henderson's breathtaking photography from „Household Idols“ (2008), „Suburban Pleasures“ (2010), „Poolside“ (2011), „Luminosity“ (2012), and „American Eros“ (2013) while also looking forward. Featuring several sizzling, never-before-published images, „Poolside Pleasures“ takes us in and out of the pool and truly lives up to its name: The best of Mark Henderson, at your pleasure.

Mark Henderson bleibt auch für seinen dritten Fotoband der Häuslichkeit treu: In POOLSIDE geht’s ab in den Garten – wo ganz dekadent ein üppiger Swimmingpool wartet. Hendersons Vorliebe für blendend gut aussehende, perfekt trainierte Adonisse bleibt weiterhin das Leitmotiv seiner Arbeit; ebenso ist die aufwendige, clevere Bildbearbeitung, die Henderson auf geniale Weise einsetzt – das ist digitale Fotokunst auf einem neuen Level. Kühle Blau- und Grüntöne dominieren klar und bilden einen erfrischenden Kontrast zu den heißen Kerlen.

Britain's leading science journalist makes an agenda-setting argument that science matters to every aspect of politics with a rallying call to all geeks, wannabe geeks, and secret geeks to join together in a new force our leaders cannot ignore. There has never been a better time to be a geek (or a nerd, or a dork). What was once an insult used to marginalize those curious people (in either sense of the word) and their obsessive interest in science has increasingly become a badge of honor. And we should be crying out for them. England is a country where only one of 650 MPs has worked as a research scientist, the government's drug adviser was sacked for making a decision based on scientific fact rather than public opinion, a writer can be forced into court for telling the scientific truth, and the media would rather sell papers by scaremongering over MMR vaccines and GM crops than report the less sensational facts. Whether one wants to improve education, cut crime, enhance public health, or generate clean energy, science and its experimental method is critical. It's time to stop the nonsense! The Geek Manifesto explains what needs to happen to entrench scientific thinking more deeply into politics and society; and how those who are concerned can turn their frustrated outrage into positive action that our country's leaders cannot ignore. Contributors include Ben Goldacre, Simon Singh, Robin Ince, Evan Harris, Tim Harford, Brian Cox, and Sir Paul Nurse.
