Describes, in a delightfully accessible way, the fascinating world of the molecular biology of the gene. Susan Aldridge gives an accessible guide to the world of DNA and also explores the applications of genetic engineering in biotechnology. She takes the reader, step by step, through the fascinating study of molecular biology. Aldridge also looks at the wider world of biotechnology and how genetic engineering can be applied to such problems as producing vegetarian cheese or cleaning up the environment. Although easy to read, this book does not avoid the science and provides a stimulating introduction to this enigmatic part of nature.

All of us are drug users, in the broadest sense of the word. Drugs can be medicines, they can be used for pleasure, and they can also be used to protect our long-term health. It is important that we are well informed about the drugs we use - how they work, their benefits and their risks. This book is a unique guide for the general science reader to the drugs of everyday life - from the main types of medicine through to recreational drugs and food supplements. It looks at how drugs interact with their targets in the body, where they come from, how they are developed and what drugs to expect in the future. All the major pharmaceutical medicines are reviewed - painkillers, antibiotics, anti-cancer drugs, anti depressants, heart drugs, tranquillizers and hormones. However this book is much more than a consumer handbook - it also conveys the fascinating science of drug discovery in an easily accessible way.

Susan Aldridge gives an accessible guide to the world of DNA and also explores the applications of genetic engineering in biotechnology. She takes the reader, step by step, through the fascinating study of molecular biology. The first part of the book describes DNA and its function within living organisms. The second part explores genetic engineering and its applications to humans such as gene therapy, genetic screening and DNA fingerprinting. The third looks at the wider world of biotechnology and how genetic engineering can be applied to such problems as producing vegetarian cheese or cleaning up the environment. The final part explains how knowledge of the structure and functioning of genes sheds light on evolution and our place in the world. Although easy to read, this book faces up to the science involved and should be read by anyone who wants to know about DNA and genetic engineering.

Le Grand Larousse du cerveau est un ouvrage exceptionnel qui montre le cerveau humain à un niveau de détail et de précision qui n’a encore jamais été atteint auparavant. Il repose sur des explications claires, récentes, toujours illustrées par des photographies d’une remarquable qualité, issues des dernières technologies de l’imagerie médicale (scanners, IRM…), des infographies en 3 dimensions, des schémas, des graphiques, des tableaux de synthèse… Des centaines d’images en 3D pour visualiser le cerveau dans les moindres détails. Des explications claires, toujours illustrées, pour rendre accessibles à tous, les multiples fonctions du cerveau : la perception sensorielle (la vision, la douleur…), le contrôle des mouvements, l’expression d’émotions et de sentiments (la peur, le désir), le langage, la mémoire, la conscience… Les derniers progrès en neurosciences et les théories les plus récentes pour explorer toujours plus en profondeur les mystères du cerveau et analyser ses dysfonctionnements. Clair, complet, précis, savant, Le Grand Larousse du cerveau est un ouvrage fascinant accessible à toute la famille et source de connaissance pour tous les étudiants et les professionnels de santé. La nouvelle édition de l’ouvrage de référence pour tout savoir sur l’anatomie du cerveau humain et de son fonctionnement.
