Biomedicine and the Human Condition(ISBN=9780521541480)
How to avoid disease, how to breed successfully and how tolive to a reasonable age, are questions that have perplexed mankindthroughout history. This book explores our progress inunderstanding these challenges, and the risks and rewards of ourattempts to find solutions. From the moment of conception,nutrition and exposure to microbes or alien chemicals haveconsequences that are etched into our cells and genomes. Suchevents have a crucial impact on development in utero and inchildhood, and later, on the way we age, respond to infection, orthe likelihood of developing chronic diseases, including cancer.The issues covered include the powerful influence of infectiousdisease on human society, the burden of our genetic legacy and thelottery of procreation. The author discusses how prospects forhuman life might continually improve as biomedicine addresses theseproblems and also debates the ethical checkpointsencountered. ? Highly readable take on biomedical innovation, from prehistoryto the present ? Br

Genes and Common Diseases(ISBN=9780521541008)
Genes and Common Diseases presents an up-to-date view of therole of genetics in modern medicine, reflecting the strengths andlimitations of a genetic perspective. The current shift in emphasisfrom the study of rare single gene disorders to common diseasesbrings genetics into every aspect of modern medicine, frominfectious diseases to therapeutics. However, it is unclear whetherthis increasingly genetic focus will prove useful in the face ofmajor environmental influences in many common diseases. The booktakes a hard and self-critical look at what can and cannot beachieved using a genetic approach and what is known about geneticand environmental mechanisms in a variety of common diseases. Itseeks to clarify the goals of human genetic research by providingstate-of-the art insights into known molecular mechanismsunderlying common disease processes while at the same timeproviding a realistic overview of the expected genetic andphysiological complexity. ?
