La genetica es la ciencia mas nueva. No se sabia casi nada de la herencia hasta hace mas de un siglo, y lo que descubrio Mendel por aquel entonces se utilizo para justificar la eugenesia y el racismo. En la actualidad, la genetica se encuentra en pleno auge y se ha descubierto la secuencia completa del ADN, que compone los 60.000 genes activos necesarios para formar un ser humano. Este libro nos conduce desde Mendel hasta el mapa del genoma humano y el tratamiento de las enfermedades hereditarias. Nos muestra como se descubrio el ADN y explica como algunos genes pueden actuar en su propio beneficio tanto como a favor de sus portadores. Nadie puede permitirse desconocer el funcionamiento de la genetica y, guste o no, algunos de nosotros nos veremos obligados a tomar decisiones eticas en las que intervenga esta ciencia. Este libro nos proporciona la informacion necesaria para hacerlo.

Les supporters des QPR, les skins ou les teddy boys, il me fallait quelque chose.

De son adolescence entre violence, délinquance et centres de détention, à sa brève carrière d''acteur dans la série Californication, en passant par l''incroyable et fulgurante expérience Sex Pistols, initiatrice du punk rock, Steve Jones a vécu une vraie vie de punk. Pour la première fois, il raconte tout : les rencontres qui l''ont amené à la musique, la naissance du groupe, l''ambiance sulfureuse des années punk en Angleterre, les provocations médiatiques, les expériences musicales, les collaborations avec les grandes figures du monde punk, les concerts survoltés...
