Eve
The Shack shattered our limited perceptions about God. Eve will destroy harmful misconceptions about ourselves. When a shipping container washes ashore on an island between our world and the next, John the Collector finds a young woman inside-broken, frozen, and barely alive. With the aid of Healers and Scholars, John oversees her recovery and soon discovers her genetic code connects her to every known human race. She is a girl of prophecy and no one can guess what her survival will mean. No one but Eve, Mother of the Living, who calls her "daughter," and invites her to witness the truth about her story-indeed, the truth about us all. Eve is a bold, unprecedented exploration of the Creation narrative, true to the original texts and centuries of scholarship-yet with breathtaking discoveries that challenge traditional misconceptions about who we are and how we're made. Eve opens a refreshing conversation about the equality of men and women within the context of our beginnings, helping us see each other as our Creator does-complete, unique, and not constrained to cultural rules or limitations. Thoroughly researched and exquisitely written, Eve is a masterpiece that will inspire readers for generations to come.

A civilizált emberiség nyolc halálos bűne
"...Miközben az emberiség az őt körülvevő természetet vandál módon pusztítja, saját magát is ökológiai katasztrófával fenyegeti. Ha már a gazdasági vonzatait is érzi, talán elismeri hibáit, de akkor valószínűleg már túl késő lesz. De arra legalább rá fog jönni, hogy ez a barbár Folyamat az ő lelkében micsoda károkat okozott. A természettől való általános, egyre fokozódó elidegenedés nagymértékben okolható a civilizált emberiség esztétikai és etikai eldurvulásáért."
- Túlnépesedés
- A természetes élettér elpusztítása
- Önmagunkkal való versenyfutás
- Elpuhulás
- Genetikai hanyatlás
- A tradíciók lerombolása
- A társadalom dogmatizálhatósága
- Atomfegyverkezés
E nyolc bűnre figyelmeztetett mindenkit az etológus Konrad Lorenz 1973-ban. Azóta eltelt több mint negyven év, de az általa megfogalmazott veszedelmek ma aktuálisabbak, mint valaha.

Middlesex
In the spring of 1974, Calliope Stephanides, a student at a girls' school in Grosse Pointe, finds herself drawn to a chain-smoking, strawberry-blond classmate with a gift for acting. The passion that furtively develops between them leads Callie to su
spect that she is not like other girls. In fact, Callie has inherited a rare genetic mutation. The biological trace of a guilty secret, this gene has followed her grandparents from the crumbling Ottoman Empire to Detroit and has outlasted the glory d
ays of the Motor City, the race riots of 1967, and the family's second migration, into the foreign country known as suburbia. Thanks to the gene, Callie is part girl, part boy. And even though the gene's epic travels have ended, her own odyssey has o
nly begun. Sprawling across eight decades - and one unusually awkward adolescence - Jeffrey Eugenides' long-awaited second novel is a grand, utterly original fable of crossed bloodlines, the intricacies of gender, and the deep, untidy promptings of d
esire. It marks the fulfillment of a huge talent, named one of America's best young novelists by both GRANTA and the NEW YORKER.

Borne
In a ruined, nameless city of the future, a woman named Rachel, who makes her living as a scavenger, finds a small green lump of a creature she names ''Borne'' entangled in the fur of Mord, a gigantic, despotic bear. Mord once prowled the corridors of the biotech organization known as the Company, which lies at the outskirts of the city, until he was experimented on, grew large, learned to fly and broke free. Driven insane by his torture at the hands of the Company, Mord terrorizes the city.
Borne somehow reminds Rachel of the island nation of her birth, now long lost to rising seas. She feels an attachment she resents; attachments are traps, and in this world any weakness can kill you. Yet when she takes Borne to her subterranean sanctuary, the Balcony Cliffs, Rachel convinces her lover, Wick, not to render Borne down to raw genetic material for the drugs he sells -- she cannot break that bond.
Wick is a special kind of supplier, because the drug dealers in the city don't sell the usual things. They sell tiny creatures that can be swallowed or stuck in the ear, and that release powerful memories of other people's happier times or pull out forgotten memories from the user's own mind -- or just produce beautiful visions that provide escape from the barren, craterous landscapes of the city.
Against his better judgment, out of affection for Rachel or perhaps some other impulse, Wick respects her decision. Rachel, meanwhile, despite her loyalty to Wick, knows he has kept secrets from her. Searching his apartment, she finds a burnt, unreadable journal titled ''Mord,'' a cryptic reference to the Magician (a rival drug dealer) and evidence that Wick has planned the layout of the Balcony Cliffs to match the blueprint of the Company building. What is he hiding? Why won't he tell her about what happened when he worked for the Company?

Universe Within
The Universe Within is a thrilling journey from today all the way back to the Big Bang, which shows the deep connections between the human body and the universe, from Neil Shubin, author of Your Inner Fish. What links the birth of the moon to our body clocks? How did the creation of the Atlantic Ocean affect how we have children? What does the water inside us and on Earth have to do with the deepest stretches of space? Humanity's status in the cosmos can seem insignificant. Yet, as Neil Shubin shows, the one place where the universe, solar system and planet merge is inside your body. Exploring the smallest atomic structures and vastest reaches of space, Shubin uncovers a sublime truth: that in every one of us lies the most profound story of all - how we and our world came to be. Neil Shubin is a palaeontologist in the great tradition of his mentors, Ernst Mayr and Stephen Jay Gould. He has discovered fossils around the world that have changed the way we think about many of the key transitions in evolution and has pioneered a new synthesis of expeditionary palaeontology, developmental genetics and genomics. He trained at Columbia, Harvard and Berkeley and is currently a Professor in the Department of Organismal Biology and Anatomy at the University of Chicago.

Apple Tree Yard
"There can't be a woman alive who hasn't once realised, in a moment of panic, that she's in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong man. Louise Doughty, more sure-footed with each novel, leads her unnerved reader into dark territory. A compelling and bravely-written book." (Hilary Mantel). "A superb novel. Grown-up, genuinely suspenseful, wonderfully well-constructed, intelligent and provocative. I really didn't want to finish it. And I don't say that very often." (Julie Myerson). "Once you start you can't stop reading. Terrific." (Helen Dunmore). Yvonne Carmichael has worked hard to achieve the life she always wanted: a high-flying career in genetics, a beautiful home, a good relationship with her husband and their two grown-up children. Then one day she meets a stranger at the Houses of Parliament and, on impulse, begins a passionate affair with him - a decision that will put everything she values at risk. At first she believes she can keep the relationship separate from the rest of her life, but she can't control what happens next. All of her careful plans spiral into greater deceit and, eventually, a life-changing act of violence. Apple Tree Yard is a psychological thriller about one woman's adultery and an insightful examination of the values we live by and the choices we make, from an acclaimed writer at the height of her powers.

Schismatrix plus
Název tohoto románu symbolizuje rozpolcenost lidstva, úmyslně či neúmyslně - nebo vědomě či nevědomě - rozštěpeného do dvou vývojových větví. Darwinisticky přímočaře mezi sebou soupeří kybernetizovaní Mechanisté a geneticky i jinak biologicky upravení Tvární. Vesmír je nekonečný, a stejně nekonečnou rozmanitost nabývají vzájemné kontakty obou těchto dvou, možná už by bylo zapotřebí říci, nových živočišných druhů. (Ne, že by obyčejní nemodifikovaní lidé neexistovali - ale k čemu jsou, když nevybočují...)

A kriminalitásig súlyosbodó személyiségzavarok pszichikai tényezőinek vizsgálata
Popper Péter korai tudományos munkája a bűnöző személyiségét elemzi. Máig aktuális a munka, hiszen a bűn világa változik, de a szomorú emberi mozgatók, s a bűn útjára taszító helyzetek maradnak. Popper Péter ebben a korai munkájában is a humanista pszichológus, aki nem elítélni, hanem megérteni törekszik. Különösen élesen bírálja eközben a bűnözés degenerációs s genetikai elméleteit. A könyvből a sokoldalú személyiségpszichológus szól hozzánk. A szerző célul jelölte, hogy ismereteket, adatokat szolgáltasson arra a folyamatra, melynek révén az antiszociális személyiség kialakul - a vizsgálat a legplasztikusabban a fiatalkorú bűnözők élettörténetének és személyiségének elemzésével követhető. A dolgozat a kriminológiai lélektan főbb irányzatait ismerteti, majd a kriminalitásig súlyosbodó személyiségzavar kialakulását írja le: fejlődéstörténetekkel, vizsgálati módszerekkel, a környezeti ártalmak elemzésével, a bűnözők típusainak ismertetésével..

A zsenialitás földrajza
Miért növekszik robbanásszerűen a kreativitás egyes helyeken?
Miért képesek a géniuszok olyan jól boldogulni rendetlenség és káosz közepette is?
Tényleg séta közben jutnak eszünkbe a legjobb gondolatok?
Vajon mi köze van az osztrigáknak a skót felvilágosodáshoz, és a reneszánsznak a pestisjárványhoz?
Eric Weiner azokat a helyeket - például az ókori Athént, a Szung-dinasztia korabeli Kínát, a középkori Firenzét vagy napjaink Szilícium-völgyét - látogatja meg és mutatja be fesztelen és bölcs humorral, ahol a korabeli férfiak és nők virágzó civilizációt teremtettek. Föld körüli utazása során arra keresi a választ, miként indult virágzásnak a kreatív zsenialitás az adott helyen és korban, és vajon hogyan kamatoztathatnánk a tanulságokat a jelenben.
A zsenialitás földrajza provokatív és szórakoztató könyv, olyan szellemi kalandozás, amely megváltoztatja az alkotó zsenialitásra vonatkozó felfogásunkat, és elősegítheti a kreativitás kultúrájának kialakítását. A kreatív zsenialitás ugyanis nem magán-, hanem közügy; sőt nem egyszerűen genetikai kérdés, és még csak nem is a kemény munkához van köze, sokkal inkább egy olyan kultúra gyümölcseként kell értelmeznünk, amely ösztönzi az eredeti gondolkodást.
Eric Weiner filozófus utazó, gyógyulófélben lévő elégedetlen, A boldog zarándok - Egy mogorva alak elindul, hogy felfedezze a világ legboldogabb helyeit című bestseller szerzője. Korábban az amerikai közszolgálati rádió, az NPR külföldi tudósítójaként dolgozott, írásai megjelentek a The New York Times, a Slate, a Quartz, a Los Angeles Times, a Foreign Policy, a BBC, az AFAR és a The Best American Travel Writing hasábjain. Washingtonban él.

Connected
Is happiness catching? Are your friends making you fat? Can your sibling make you smart? Is wealth contagious? Where is true love found? Does free will exist? Based on exciting discoveries in mathematics, genetics, psychology and sociology, 'Connected' is an innovative and fascinating exploration of how social networks operate. Think it's all about who you know? It is. But not the way you think. Turns out your colleague's husband's sister can make you fat, even if you don't know her. And a happy friend is more relevant to your happiness than a bigger income. Our connections -- our friends, their friends, and even their friends' friends -- have an astonishing power to influence everything from what we eat to who we sleep with. And we, in turn, influence others. Our actions can change the behaviours, the beliefs, and even the basic health of people we've never met. In this brilliantly original and effortlessly engaging exploration of how much we truly influence one another. Pre-eminent social scientists Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler explain why obesity is contagious, why the rich get richer, even how we find and choose our partners. Intriguing and entertaining, with revelatory implications for everything from our notion of the individual to ideas about public health initiatives, 'Connected' will change the way you think about every aspect of your life, and how you live it.

Breverton's Encyclopedia of Inventions
Invention and innovation are what distinguish the human race from all of the other species on Earth. Throughout history the imagination and pioneering spirit of human kind has compelled us to question why we do things in a certain way and, more importantly, how we can do things better. Celebrating the ingenuity, creativity and resourcefulness that has led to some of the most amazing technological leaps through the ages, Breverton's Encyclopedia of Inventions examines the key innovations and breakthroughs of all time and the genius behind them. Starting with the building of the pyramids in ancient Egypt and the discovery of the solar system, moving through surgery, dynamite and rockets, to modern technology such as the smart card and genetic engineering, Terry Breverton springs many surprises. He uncovers fascinating and little-known facts: for example, that Price, not Fleming, discovered penicillin; that Swan, not Edison invented the electric light, and that Wallace, not Darwin first advanced the theory of evolution. Tracing the sheer persistence of brilliant men and women across the globe, who fought the prevailing ideas of their times and advanced technology, Breverton's Encyclopedia of Inventions will inspire anyone interested in the history and developments that have changed our lives and shaped our planet's future.

The Mysterious World Of The Human Genome
How could a relatively simple chemical code give rise to the complexity of a human being? How could our human genome have evolved? And how does it actually work?
Over the past 50 years we have deciphered the inner workings of the human genome. From the basic structure of DNA through to the complete sequence of the code, what first appeared to be simple is actually a complex and beautiful three-dimensional world that makes each of us who we are.
In The Mysterious World of the Human Genome acclaimed science writer Frank Ryan leads us through the most exciting scientific discoveries of the last 50 years, revealing how this science has unlocked the cure of some genetic diseases, developed the use of DNA in forensic science and paternity testing, helped us trace our ancestors and provided a definitive map for the movement of humans out of Africa. This scientific journey has had a profound impact on our understanding of the evolution of life itself, through the role of the most ancient of organisms in our basic biology all the way to the revelation that our most recent ancestor, Homo neanderthalensis, lives on in many of us.
In the ever more complicated world of the human genome, this is the first book to explain how the human genome actually works as a whole and how that knowledge will have a profound effect on our understanding of where we have come from and where we are likely to be going in the future.
