Genes in Conflict
Author: Austin Burt
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 9780674017139
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 650
Book Description
In evolution, most genes survive and spread within populations because they increase the ability of their hosts (or their close relatives) to survive and reproduce. But some genes spread in spite of being harmful to the host organism—by distorting their own transmission to the next generation, or by changing how the host behaves toward relatives. As a consequence, different genes in a single organism can have diametrically opposed interests and adaptations.Covering all species from yeast to humans, Genes in Conflict is the first book to tell the story of selfish genetic elements, those continually appearing stretches of DNA that act narrowly to advance their own replication at the expense of the larger organism. As Austin Burt and Robert Trivers show, these selfish genes are a universal feature of life with pervasive effects, including numerous counter-adaptations. Their spread has created a whole world of socio-genetic interactions within individuals, usually completely hidden from sight.Genes in Conflict introduces the subject of selfish genetic elements in all its aspects, from molecular and genetic to behavioral and evolutionary. Burt and Trivers give us access for the first time to a crucial area of research—now developing at an explosive rate—that is cohering as a unitary whole, with its own logic and interconnected questions, a subject certain to be of enduring importance to our understanding of genetics and evolution.

Profiles of Genius

ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
The story of creative and innovative behavior is about change," says author Gene N. Landrum. "In this case it is about thirteen iconoclastic individuals who have demonstrated a unique ability to deal with change in the world and redefine it for their own purposes." Landrum calls these individuals the "change masters," entrepreneurial geniuses whose innovations have had a profound influence on modern society: Steven Jobs (Apple Computer), Fred Smith (Federal Express), Tom Monaghan (Domino's Pizza), Nolan Bushnell (Atari), William Gates III (Microsoft), Marcel Bich (Bic), Solomon Price (The Price Club), Howard Head (Head Ski), William Lear (Lear Jet), Soichiro Honda (Honda), Akio Morita (Sony), Arthur Jones (Nautilus), and Ted Turner (CNN). Each of these business giants was motivated by what Landrum describes as an "innovisionary personality," which drove them to follow a unique inner vision of success and gave them an inviolable belief in themselves. Profiles of Genius demonstrates, through thirteen dynamic examples, that future entrepreneurial success in a global marketplace will depend on technological innovation, adaptability to change, intelligent risk-taking, and competitive drive.

Gene's Genes

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 502
Book Description
Advance praise for Gene's Genes "A real page turner. Mystery intertwined with science. Ping and Gretch will win your heart." -Bob Goldberg, Professor of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, UCLA, Member US National Academy of Sciences "Murder, mystery, and medicine combine into a real thriller. But plenty of humor, much of it on the black side. I carried it around on my Palm Pilot just to get it read in between my busy medical rounds." -Mark van Wormer, MD, RVT, RDCS, ABAAM Gene Anderson, a renowned geneticist, is hard on the trail of three possible Nobel Prize-winning genes that he believes will transform the world. But his pursuit is derailed when he is accused of committing a series of gruesome murders. Once jailed, there is little he can do to defend himself. When a loyal cadre of Anderson's former students later stumbles onto a secret and illegal insurance database, the mystery unravels. Genealogical sleuthing leads to an epiphany about the relationships between Anderson's supposed victims-revealing, as well, the true identity of the murderer. Ultimately, the students share their complicated logic with Anderson, now a shell of his former self after years of incarceration, and the information ignites a spark in his drugged and dormant creativity, allowing his genius to flare once again.

Evil Genes
Author: Barbara Oakley, PhD
Publisher: Prometheus Books
ISBN: 1615920021
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 475
Book Description
Have you ever heard of a person who left you wondering, "How could someone be so twisted? So evil?" Prompted by clues in her sister’s diary after her mysterious death, author Barbara Oakley takes the reader inside the head of the kinds of malevolent people you know, perhaps all too well, but could never understand. Starting with psychology as a frame of reference, Oakley uses cutting-edge images of the working brain to provide startling support for the idea that "evil" people act the way they do mainly as the result of a dysfunction. In fact, some deceitful, manipulative, and even sadistic behavior appears to be programmed genetically—suggesting that some people really are born to be bad. Oakley links the latest findings of molecular research to a wide array of seemingly unrelated historical and current phenomena, from the harems of the Ottomans and the chummy jokes of "Uncle Joe" Stalin, to the remarkable memory of investor Warren Buffet. Throughout, she never loses sight of the personal cost of evil genes as she unravels the mystery surrounding her sister’s enigmatic life—and death. Evil Genes is a tour-de-force of popular science writing that brilliantly melds scientific research with intriguing family history and puts both a human and scientific face to evil.
