  You have heard that DNA is a code, that genes are inherited, that a spit test can tell you where your ancestors came from. But if someone asked you to explain what a gene actually does, you would probably change the subject.
  
  This is the guided tour that fixes that. Every cell in your body holds a library of three billion letters, and once you can see the shelves, the copy clerks, the proofreaders and the inherited notes scribbled in the margins, the rest falls into place. You will follow the four-letter alphabet up to working proteins, see why a single typo can change a life, learn what epigenetics really means, and understand exactly which shelves a consumer DNA test opens and which it never touches. Each chapter is anchored in an everyday analogy and ends with one fact you will want to repeat out loud.
  
  By the end you will read a genetics headline and know what it is saying. Press play, and start at the front desk.

  Pandemics - A Very Short...

  The 2014 Ebola epidemic demonstrated the power of pandemics and their ability not only to destroy lives locally but also to capture the imagination and terrify the world. In 2019 and the years that followed, the coronavirus pandemic infected every continent and took the lives of millions. In this updated edition, Christian W. McMillen provides a concise yet comprehensive account of pandemics throughout human history, illustrating how pandemic disease has shaped history and, at the same time, social behavior has influenced pandemic disease.This Very Short Introduction describes history's major pandemics. McMillen discusses state responses to pandemics, such as quarantine, isolation, travel restrictions, and other forms of social control, and pays special attention to the rise of public health and the explosion of medical research in the wake of pandemics, especially as the germ theory of disease emerged in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Today, medicine is able to control all of these diseases, yet some of them are still devastating in much of the developing world. By assessing the relationship between poverty and disease and the geography of epidemics, McMillen offers an outspoken and thought-provoking point of view on the necessity for global governments to learn from past experiences and cooperate to prevent any future epidemic.

Alex Roland traces the co-evolution of technology and warfare from the Stone Age to the age of cyberwar, describing the inventions that changed the direction of warfare throughout history: from fortified walls, the chariot, battleships, and the gunpowder revolution to bombers, rockets, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and nuclear weapons.In the twenty-first century, new technologies continue to push warfare in unexpected directions, while warfare stimulates stunning new technological advances. Yet even now, the newest and best technology cannot guarantee victory. Brimming with dramatic narratives of battles and deep insights into military psychology, this book shows that although military technologies keep changing at great speed, the principles and patterns behind them abide.
