Part of the new Ladybird Expert series, Evolution is a clear, simple and entertaining introduction to Charles Darwin's pioneering and revolutionary theory of how all life changes through natural selection. Written by broadcaster, prize-winning author and geneticist Professor Steve Jones, it explores the extraordinary diversity of life on our planet through the complex interactions of one very simple theory. You'll discover the common origins of dogs and Brussels sprouts, how it is we're all mutants, where wings, ears and tails came from, why sex is good for you, how some dinosaurs evolved and survived, and why human evolution may finally have stopped. Written by the leading lights and most outstanding communicators in their fields, the Ladybird Expert books provide clear, accessible and authoritative introductions to subjects drawn from science, history and culture. Other books currently available in the Ladybird Expert series include: · Climate Change · Quantum Mechanics For an adult readership, the Ladybird Expert series is produced in the same iconic small hardback format pioneered by the original Ladybirds. Each beautifully illustrated book features the first new illustrations produced in the original Ladybird style for nearly forty years.

Foreword by Chrissie Hynde. Without the Sex Pistols, there would be no Punk, and without Steve Jones, there would be no Sex Pistols. Steve formed Kutie Jones and his Sex Pistols, the precursor to the legendary band, with schoolmate Paul Cook, serving as its original leader. As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of Punk, Steve shares his story for the first time. His modern Dickensian tale begins in Hammersmith and Shepherd's Bush, West London, where a lonely, neglected boy survives through petty theft. Influenced by glam rock icons like David Bowie and Roxy Music, he becomes one of the first ragamuffin punks, mentored by Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood. For the first time, Steve reveals the pain of never knowing his father, the neglect and abuse from his stepfather, and how his passion for music and fashion steered him away from a life of crime. From the Kings Road in the early seventies to the era of the Sex Pistols and the recording of "Never Mind the Bollocks" (ranked 41 in Rolling Stone's Best Albums of All Time), to his struggles with addiction during his time in New York and Los Angeles, this narrative captures the journey of an unlikely guitar hero who, alongside the Sex Pistols, changed history.

Memoir by the guitarist of the legendary, ground-breaking punk pioneers the Sex Pistols

Waterford je anglické městečko s přísnými nepsanými zákony. Za každý prohřešek se tvrdě platí a člověk, který si dovolí být jiný, musí za to zaplatit. Tak jako Lewis Aldridge, štvaný a pronásledovaný mladík, kterého všichni odepsali a ti, co mu věří, nemají šanci přesvědčit ostatní, že se v něm mýlí. Ztratil matku a jako by ta událost nebyla sama o sobě dost trýznivá, přihlížel její nešťastné smrti. Otec mu nikdy nedal najevo lásku, nedopřál mu pocítit, že je pro něj důležitý. Odjakživa se však líbil Kit. Chápala jeho vzdor proti strnulému světu maloměstské společnosti a chtěla mu z celého srdce pomoci. Trvalo mu dlouho, než si uvědomil, že podobný cit prožíval i on k ní. Kdo ví, jestli se jim podaří k sobě znovu najít cestu, protože Lewis krátce po návratu z vězení obdrží povolávací rozkaz. Strhující příběh nabízí portrét viny a vykoupení; činí tak zcela novým a fascinujícím stylem, jenž připomíná romány Iana McEwana. Autorka dokáže zachytit ty nejniternější pocity hlavních hrdinů a podívat se na stejnou věc či událost z různých úhlů pohledu. Kniha se brzy po svém vydání setkala s velkým ohlasem u čtenářů a dlouhé měsíce se držela na čele žebříčku nejprodávanějších knih.

Le idee di Charles Darwin continuano a influenzare in profondità il pensiero sociale, filosofico e religioso, oltre che scientifico.Qui cinque studiosi di spicco rispondono alle domande più interessanti dell’attuale dibattito evolutivo:Perché il pensiero di Darwin è diventato tanto significativo in ogni angolo del pianeta?Come mai nell’ambiente gli individui interagiscono, oltre che con la competizione, anche collaborando tra loro?I progressi della società umana odierna sembrano essere in prevalenza culturali: Homo sapiens si sta ancora evolvendo?La scoperta del DNA ha dato forza e potenza al pensiero evolutivo: l’analisi genetica può spiegare che cosa ci differenzia dagli altri primati?Nuovi meccanismi ereditari stanno emergendo dagli studi post-genomici: come cambierà il darwinismo?

The Origin of Species may be the most famous book in science but its stature tends to obscure much of Charles Darwin's other works. His visit to the Galapagos lasted just five weeks and on his return he never left Britain again.

An invaluable introduction to the major ideas, discoveries, and personalities in the history of our quest for the origins of life.

Geneticus Jones biedt een analyse van wat het betekent om drager te zijn van het Y-chromosoom, en gaat in op vragen als: waarom mannen meer op macht belust zijn dan vrouwen en waarom mannen aanspraak maken op meer partners dan vrouwen doen. Hij komt tot de conclusie dat de moderne man niet alleen maatschappelijk en psychologisch in een crisis verkeert, maar dat de man ook biologisch steeds meer het zwakke geslacht is. Beschrijving van de achtergrond van gedragsverschillen tussen de seksen vanuit de invalshoek van de genetica.

Ve své oceněné knize Almost Like a Whale (Téměř jako velryba) prohlásil Steve Jones knihou tisíciletí Původ druhů Charlese Darwina. A narážeje na druhé význačné Darwinovo dílo, Původ člověka, zaměřuje ve své nejnovější knize pozornost na přírodou zanedbávaná stvoření – na muže. Zrození ovečky Dolly bez jakéhokoli přičinění samce znovu otevírá prastarou otázku, co přesně je úlohou mužského pohlaví, když tisíce druhů se bez samců stejně dobře obejdou. A jestliže pokaždé při sexu muž produkuje takové množství spermií, že by mohl oplodnit každou ženu v Evropě, proč jsou muži tak početní?

Genetika je nejnovější ze všech věd. Kniha Genetika seznamuje s touto vědní oblastí od jejích počátků spjatých s českým přírodovědcem a biologem Gregorem Mendelem, až po objevení DNA a přibližně šedesáti tisíc genů, potřebných pro fungování lidské bytosti. Vzhledem k tomu, že řada lidí může být v životě postavena před morální dilemata spjatá s poznatky genetiky, je užitečné seznámit se alespoň se základy této disciplíny - například ve čtivé a populární formě této knihy.

Good condition.

This work updates the theories of Darwin's "The Origin of the Species". It highlights the relationships of the living world using 20th century science to breathe life into Darwin's 19th century theory.

This work is about human origins. It draws on all the latest knowledge from anthropology and archaeology, via genetics and evolution, to psychology and medicine. It tackles issues such as hereditary genes in criminal behaviour and homosexuality.

Em 1959, Aldous Huxley proferiu uma série de conferências na Universidade da Califórnia, que foram excepcionais por sua visão e vasta erudição. O tema de Huxley foi o relacionamento do Homem com seu planeta e ele abordou questões que se tornaram - como anteviu - cruciais para a sobrevivência da civilização. Estes ensaios foram agora reunidos para publicação neste livro.

Populárně-naučná publikace seznamuje srozumitelně i zábavně s genetikou jako vědním oborem, s její historií i budoucností.

An examination of the New Rugby. "Endless winter" is the story of a packed season of glories and failures which began with the return of the Springboks and ended with the British Lions' tour of New Zealand.

This is a new and refreshing introduction to the human species that places modern humans squarely in evolutionary perspective and treats evolution itself as a continuing genetic process in which every one of us is involved. Over seventy scholars worldwide have collaborated on the Encyclopedia, which is divided into ten main sections. Following a keynote introduction asking simply What makes us human?, the coverage ranges widely: from genetics, primatology and fossil origins to human biology and ecology, brain function and behavior, and demography and disease. Emphasis is placed throughout on the biological diversity of modern people and the increasing convergence of the fossil and genetic evidence for human evolution that has emerged in recent years. Because of the need to look at humankind in the context of our closest relatives, the
