  A sweeping history of the Mississippi River—and the centuries of human meddling that have transformed both it and America. 
   
   
   
  Over thousands of years, the Mississippi watershed was home to millions of Indigenous people who regarded "the great river" with awe and respect, adorning its banks with astonishing spiritual earthworks. But European settlers and American pioneers had a different vision: the river was a foe to conquer. In this landmark work of natural history, Boyce Upholt tells the epic story of human attempts to own and contain the Mississippi River, from Thomas Jefferson's expansionist land hunger through today's era of environmental concern. He reveals how an ambitious and sometimes contentious program of engineering—government-built levees, jetties, dikes, and dams—has not only damaged once-vibrant ecosystems, but may not work much longer, and explores how scientists are scrambling to restore what's been lost. Rich and powerful, The Great River delivers a startling account of what happens when we try to fight against nature instead of acknowledging and embracing its power.

  Medical biochemistry is a field that sits at the intersection of chemistry, biology, and medicine, exploring the chemical processes and substances that govern the functioning of living organisms. It plays a vital role in understanding the molecular basis of health and disease, providing essential insights into how cells, tissues, and organs interact and function. This branch of biochemistry is not only concerned with the fundamental biochemistry of life but also with how biochemical mechanisms influence disease development, progression, and treatment. By examining the chemical foundations of biological systems, medical biochemistry helps bridge the gap between basic science and clinical practice. 
  The scope of medical biochemistry is vast, encompassing a variety of topics including metabolism, enzymology, molecular genetics, and cell signaling. At the core of this discipline is the study of how nutrients and biomolecules such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids are involved in cellular function. Understanding how the body uses these molecules for energy, structure, and regulation is essential for comprehending how metabolic disorders, genetic conditions, and cancers arise. Additionally, the molecular mechanisms of drug action and response are grounded in biochemistry, making it an essential field for the development of therapeutic interventions. 
  Medical biochemistry also serves as a key tool in diagnostics. Through the identification of biomarkers, which are specific biochemical indicators of disease states, clinicians are able to detect and monitor various health conditions, including metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and cancers. Advances in technology, such as the development of genetic testing, enzyme assays, and high-throughput screening methods, have expanded the ability to identify and analyze these biomarkers, thereby enhancing the precision of medical diagnoses.

  Every one of Earth's teeming ecosystems is an evolutionary cauldron 
   
   
   
  Christopher Wills's claim has its roots in an insight from Charles Darwin: the interactions between species in an ecosystem are a powerful driver of evolution. In this book Wills describes how, by using the latest genetic techniques, we are probing ecosystems and discovering that even the most apparently barren of them are rich in variety, especially of microbes. Exploring the many ways in which ecosystems have coped with past change, and how rapidly an ecosystem can develop complexity, Wills illuminates a pathway of hope for the natural world that we have so damaged and depleted. Our new genetic knowledge can help these evolutionary cauldrons to continue brewing richness and diversity, the better to heal our living world and to enable our own survival.
