Claret & Cabs is a worldwide survey of Cabernet and its blends from Bordeaux through the New World. It defines the character of the wine from each region, and profiles leading producers.

Science dominates modern intellectual life, yet few fully appreciate the path by which science evolved into such a driving cultural force. The Frontiers of Science traces the centuries-long development of science from an endeavour intertwined with other disciplines into an independent field with its own procedures and principles.Spanning key discoveries from 500 BCE to the modern day, including all areas from astronomy, physics, biology, neuroscience, computing and AI, it reveals how science advances, not in a straight line, but through a zigzag of progress and dead ends.Along the way, The Frontiers of Science explores pivotal junctures where pioneering thinkers took wrong turns, faced resistance from contemporary beliefs, and navigated challenging notions of truth. It analyzes how novel scientific ideas struggled to gain acceptance among scientists and in society until evidence and corrections hammered out their validity.The book considers how AI may change the nature of science, assesses the limits of science today, and discusses the dangers that pseudoscience and the rejection of science pose for society.Instead of viewing science through a societal lens, this book uniquely examines breakthroughs from the scientist’s perspective. It ultimately illuminates why the self-scrutinizing, self-correcting nature of science underpins its success in understanding the natural realm.For readers intrigued by science’s influence on modern times, this is an unparalleled guide to how it assumed a transformative role through a turbulent, obstacle-strewn evolution.

Desde su primera edición el propósito de GENES ha sido explicar la herencia desde el punto de vista de las estructuras moleculares. GENES se basa en la proposición de que el objetivo de la Biología Molecular es explicar en términos moleculares la serie completa de sucesos por la cual el genotipo se convierte en fenotipo.
