Mark Henderson Knihy

Rozluštění lidského genetického kódu změnilo v posledních letech náš pohled na život na Zemi. Nové genové technologie mění způsob našeho života a jsou příslibem možnosti léčby dosud nevyléčitelných chorob. Tyto výhody však s sebou na druhé straně přinášejí i problémy, jako je například klonování a děti na zakázku. V knize Genetika - 50 myšlenek, které musíte znát podává Mark Henderson v sérii stručných a výstižných pojednání zhuštěný výklad základních genetických myšlenek. Vysvětluje tak nejen úlohu genů při formování našeho chování a sexuality, ale i zcela nedávné úspěchy v oblasti genové terapie a umělého života. Kniha srozumitelně podává i složité a náročné problémy a může se tak stát vhodným úvodem pro všechny, kdo mají chuť i odvahu proniknout do tajů tohoto mladého a průkopnického vědeckého oboru.

Light, colour and the perfection of the male body: this is what Mark Henderson's collection of photographs of men plays on.

Auffällige Farbeffekte und göttliche Männer konkurrieren um die Aufmerksamkeit des Betrachters. Mark Henderson verzichtet für sein neues Projekt SUBURBAN PLEASURES auf jede Art von Pomp und setzt statt dessen auf ein reduziertes, urbanes Ambiente. Insgesamt ergibt sich ein sexy-geniales Kunstwerk, das in Sachen männlicher Aktfotografie ganz neue Wege geht.

Lies and deceit threaten this young couple's family, but will the truth make things better or worse? A young military couple from Indiana is separated by a deployment and haunted by secrets. Shamar Jackson, a sergeant in the U.S. Army, struggles to maintain a long distance relationship, while his wife, Jelisa, fights to escape the past she never told him about.

The Man who let the Cat of Doom out of the Bag is Mark P Henderson’s surreal fantasy (with poetical and musical interludes) which introduces the most unlikely cast ever to have been given an apocalyptic quest. England’s East Sussex coast truly does not know what has hit it when they assemble on its shore. The obsessive psychotherapist Herr Dr von Tür, the shaven-headed Glaswegian enforcer Big Vince, the incompetent Cuthbert Fell, the former champion marathon runner, Selina Crumpett and serial killer Gardner-Carpenter, might all turn heads but are only half a story that also has starring roles for Gabriella de Clare (seeking her True Self), Patricia (an Anglican priest), Abdul (Fell’s only friend), Winston, Esmerelda, Yggrasilsdottir (trees), a pack of mangy dogs and a gnome called Smiley. Each fixated on their own focus, they range far and wide causing ripples in the fabric of time itself, even while the Cat of Doom is still firmly entrapped within its bag. But inexorably they stumble closer to an inevitable, ultimately satisfying and epic denouement.

Wie werden Männer zu Idolen? Und wie kommt man dann trotzdem noch an sie heran? Mark Henderson setzt schöne, unerreichbar wirkende Modelle in ein häusliches Ambiente. Schlafzimmer, Küchen und Gärten werden so zu Kulissen von Sinnlichkeit und sexueller Attraktion, die Männer werden nahbar, berührbar. Stilistisch bevorzugt Mark Henderson saftige Farben und scharfe Kontraste, um die Unmittelbarkeit der Bilder zu verstärken. In monochromen Arbeiten färbt er einzelne Gegenstände ein, um Akzente zu setzen.

In recent years knowledge of our genetic code has changed our understanding of life on Earth. New genetic technologies are transforming the way we live and promise treatments for otherwise incurable diseases. But these advances are also generating controversy, particularly surrounding issues such as cloning and designer babies.In 50 Genetics Ideas, Mark Henderson distils the central ideas of genetics in a series of clear and concise essays. Beginning with the theory of evolution, and covering such topics as the genome and how nature and nurture work together, he not only illuminates the role of genes in shaping our behaviour and sexuality, but also the very latest, cutting-edge developments in gene therapy and artificial life. Accessible and informative, 50 Genetics Ideas is a timely introduction to this young and ground-breaking strand of science.

Whether we want to improve education or cut crime, to enhance public health or to generate clean energy, we need the experimental methods of science - the best tool humanity has yet developed for working out what works.
