    For the average Joe, fishing may be considered a pretty tedious affair… 
    Long hours spent on the bank by some muddy pond in the middle of nowhere, hunched over a rod, waiting for a bite. 
    Early starts, foul weather, wriggling worms and writhing maggots are enough to turn most people off straight away. But for the staunch angler, this sweeping assumption couldn’t be further from the truth… 
    From wild conspiracies and wacky theories to absurd angling drama, the sport of fishing is more bizarre than most could ever imagine. From the ridiculous ghost story of a man-eating catfish to glorious angling embellishments, The Secret Lives Of Anglers reveals the hidden truths of this puzzling pastime.

    Nature versus nurture has shaped centuries of debate—but what if the answer is neither, and both? 
    In Human Agency: 75% DNA, 25% Free Will, scientist and biotechnologist Muren Herrid, PhD, revisits the classic question of whether our lives are determined by genetics (nature) or environment and experience (nurture)—and argues that modern science demands a more nuanced answer. 
    Drawing on research in genetics, epigenetics, evolution, and biotechnology, this book examines how DNA powerfully shapes intelligence, behaviour, and physical traits, while also showing how environment, experience, and mental state can influence how genes are expressed—sometimes across generations. 
    Blending rigorous science with real-world examples and personal reflections, Human Agency explores:Why genetics explains more about human differences than we often admitHow epigenetics blurs the line between nature and nurtureWhether mental state and conscious behaviour can influence biologyWhat evolution looks like in the age of AI, gene editing, and NeuralinkHow humanity may actively participate in its own future evolution 
    Written for curious readers, science enthusiasts, policymakers, and professionals, this book challenges simplistic answers to the nature-versus-nurture debate and replaces them with a biologically grounded, evidence-based framework. 
    If you’ve ever asked whether your destiny is written in your DNA—or whether free will still matters—Human Agency offers a compelling scientific perspective on who we are, and how much choice we truly have.
