How did a deadly genetic disease help our ancestors survive the bubonic plagues of Europe? Was diabetes evolution''s response to the last Ice Age? Will a visit to the tanning salon help bring down your cholesterol? Why do we age? Why are some people immune to HIV? Can your genes be turned on—or off?
Survival of the Sickest reveals the answers to these and many other questions as it unravels the amazing connections between evolution, disease, and human health today.
Joining the ranks of modern myth busters, Dr. Sharon Moalem turns our current understanding of illness on its head and challenges us to fundamentally change the way we think about our bodies, our health, and our relationship to just about every other living thing on earth, from plants and animals to insects and bacteria.
Survival of the Sickest is filled with fascinating insights and cutting-edge research, presented in a way that is both accessible and utterly absorbing. This is a book about the interconnectedness of all life on earth—and, especially, what that means for us.
Read it. You''re already living it.

An award-winning physician and scientist makes the game-changing case that genetic females are stronger than males at every stage of life''A powerful antidote to the myth of a "weaker sex"'' Gina Rippon, author of The Gendered BrainFrom birth, genetic females are better at fighting viruses, infections and cancer. They do better at surviving epidemics and famines. They live longer, and even see the world in a wider variety of colours. These are the facts; they are simply stronger than men at every stage of life. Why? And why are we taught the opposite?Drawing on his wide-ranging experience and cutting-edge research as a medic, geneticist and specialist in rare diseases, Dr Sharon Moalem reveals how the answer lies in our genetics: the female''s double XX chromosomes offer a powerful survival advantage. And he calls for a long-overdue reconsideration of our one-size-fits-all view of the body and medicine - a view that still frames women through the lens of men. Revolutionary, captivating and utterly persuasive, The Better Half will make you see women, men and the survival of our species anew.''Brilliant, original and groundbreaking, highly readable and genuinely useful'' Daily Mail

A groundbreaking book that will transform how we understand ourselves and our families by revealing that everything we thought we knew about genetics is wrong. Your experiences, no matter how seemingly inconsequential - from bullies to crushes to what you eat for dinner - have all left an indelible mark within you. And more importantly, within your genes.Inheritance is a guidebook for change. No longer do we have to settle for what we've been given. We can write our own story.We're taught that we don't have much of a choice in the matter of what we get or what we give, because our genetic legacy was fixed when our parents conceived us. But that's all wrong. Our genes are constantly on the move, some are turning on while others are turning off, all in response to what you're doing, what you're seeing, and what you're feeling. And all of those things can be changed, which means we can change. Genetically. - E-bokEngelska, 2014

New York Times bestselling coauthors Shäron Moalem and Daniel Kraus's terrifying sci-fi horror thriller takes place in a future that is much nearer than you think. It is a world where scientific experimentation is exploited for commercial profit and under-supervised cutting-edge technology creates a menace that threatens the very fabric of our existence. Wrath is the story of Sammy, a lab rat instilled with human genes whose supersized intelligence helps him to engineer his escape into the world outside the lab: a world vastly ill-equipped to deal with the menace he represents. Modified through advances that have boosted his awareness of humankind’s cruelty in the name of science, Sammy has the potential to sire a rodent army capable of viciously overwhelming the human race. The key to Sammy’s capture and humanity’s salvation may be ten-year-old Dallas Underhill, whom Sammy adopts. But while Dallas and Sammy bond, time is running out for humankind: once Sammy sires his progeny, the exponential proliferation of his kind could spell the end of the world.For fans of dystopian works such as Jeff VanderMeer’s Southern Reach Trilogy and Emily St. John Mandel’s Station Eleven, and readers of Neal Stephenson, Michael Crichton, and Blake Crouch. This heart-pounding, science-based thriller takes place in a possibly all-too-soon reality where the hazards and consequences of genetic manipulation will no longer be the stuff of mere fiction. Hardcover with dust jacket; 320 pages; 9 in H by 6 in W.

Vallankumouksellinen teos avaa uuden näkökulman ihmiskuntaan ja lajimme selviytymiseen.
Palkittu lääkäri ja tutkija osoittaa kirjassaan, että geneettisesti naispuoliset ovat miespuolisia vahvempia elämän kaikissa vaiheissa.
Mistä tämä johtuu? Vastaus piilee geeneissä: X-kromosomipari antaa kantajalleen vahvan selviytymisedun.
Naiset elävät miehiä pidempään. Naisilla on vahvempi immuunijärjestelmä. Heidän elimistönsä kamppailee tehokkaammin syöpää vastaan ja selviytyy paremmin nälänhädästä. Naiset näkevät myös maailman värien kirjon laajemmin.
Sharon Moalem on lääketieteen tohtori, palkittu tutkija, lääkäri ja New York Timesin bestsellerkirjailija. Hän on maailmankuulu genetiikan ja harvinaisten geneettisten sairauksien asiantuntija, ja hänen kliiniset tutkimuksensa ovat johtaneet kahden aiemmin tuntemattoman perinnöllisen sairauden löytämiseen ja kuvaamiseen. Tri Moalem on toimittanut Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease -tutkimusjulkaisua ja ollut mukana perustamassa kahta bioteknologiayritystä.
