Biology of You The: Your DNA...

Debra-Ann Smith

Your genome is already shaping your health, your medication responses, and decisions being made about your biological data — right now, whether you know it or not. 
Most people have no idea what their genetic test results actually mean. Not because the science is hard, but because no one has explained it plainly — until now. 
Your DNA, Your Blueprint is a complete guide to understanding your genetic information and using it over a lifetime. Written for listeners with no science background, narrated by the author in her own voice, this audiobook covers everything you need to know: 
— What consumer genetic tests like 23andMe and AncestryDNA actually reveal, and what they don't 
— How to interpret disease risk results without panic or false certainty 
— Pharmacogenomics: why your genes determine how medications work in your body — and why your doctor may not know this yet 
— Whole genome sequencing: what it is, what it costs, and whether you need it 
— Who owns your genetic data, and how to protect it 
— A complete 15-step action plan for putting your results to work 
This book pays particular attention to what the science means for people of non-European ancestry — a population consistently underrepresented in genomic research and overlooked in mainstream health writing. 
Your DNA, Your Blueprint is Book One of The Biology of You, a series from The Kinnara Fund — a nonprofit dedicated to making biotech breakthroughs accessible to the people whose tax dollars fund the research. 
The instruction manual has been inside you all along.

Resident Evil

Philip J Reed

Now a sprawling video game franchise, Resident Evil has kept us on the edge of our seats for decades with its tried-and-true brand of jump scares, zombie action, and biological horror. But even decades after its release, we can't stop revisiting the original's thrills, chills, and sometimes unintentional spills. 
 
  
 
Pop culture writer and horror cinephile Philip J Reed takes dead aim at 1996's Resident Evil, the game that named and defined the genre we now call "survival horror." While examining Resident Evil's influences from the worlds of film, literature, and video games alike, Reed's love letter to horror examines how the game's groundbreaking design and its atmospheric fixed-cam cinematography work to thrill and terrify players—and why that terror may even be good for you. 
 
 
 
Featuring a foreword from Troma Entertainment legend Lloyd Kaufman and new interviews with the game's voice actors and its live-action cast, the book serves as the master of unlocking the behind-the-scenes secrets of Resident Evil, and shows how even a game filled with the most laughable dialogue can still scare the pants off of you.

The Shortest History of Migration

Ian Goldin

From the Silk Roads to the Berlin Wall, discover the globe-turning history of human migration 
 
 
 
We are a species in motion—from the first steps of Homo sapiens across Africa to America's "melting pot." And when we move—in search of better things, or against our will—our beliefs and skills clash and combine, reshaping society time and again. 
 
 
 
In this visionary Shortest History of Migration, Ian Goldin uncovers key moments of cultural exchange while carefully examining empire, slavery, and war. Throughout, we meet famous explorers (Zheng He), exiles (Pablo Neruda), and everyday people in extraordinary circumstances: a Jewish man saved by the Kindertransport, a Japanese gardener who blossomed in Mexico City. 
 
 
 
Today, freedom of movement is being curtailed, even as climate change and conflict mobilize people everywhere around the world. Goldin reminds us that passports at every border are a modern invention (he traces the "birth of big brother" to World War I), revealing the folly of trying to halt migration—and proposing commonsense policy instead. 
 
 
 
A gripping chronicle of want and wanderlust, this is a moving portrait of humanity—in every sense of the word.

Canopy of Titans - The Life and...

Paul Koberstein, Jessica Applegate

In Canopy of Titans, Paul Koberstein and Jessica Applegate examine the global importance of the Pacific Coastal Temperate Rainforest that stretches from Northern California to Alaska. Their urgent and authoritative account sets out the threats facing a vital environmental resource, and celebrates the beauty and complexity of one of the world's great forests. 
 
 
 
Drawing on years of on-the-ground reporting, Koberstein and Applegate pull back the curtain on policies of governmental bodies that have seriously diminished the rainforest's capacity to store carbon, and uncover industry practices that have led to the destruction of swaths of a major ecological resource. Additionally, using an environmental justice perspective, Canopy of Titans shines a light on the Indigenous communities that have lived in the rainforest for millennia, and the impact forest policies have had on their lives.
