About this product
Product Information
The new scientific field, epigenetics, is revolutionizing our understanding of the structure and behavior of biological life on Earth. Epigenetic ideas help explain why mapping an organism's genetic code is simply not enough to determine how it develops or acts, and shows how nurture combines with nature to engineer biological diversity. Surveying some of the key scientific investigations and breakthroughs in this field over the past twenty years, Nessa Carey paints a broad intellectual canvas that readers of science and medicine will find both fascinating and promising. Her book helps us discover how we are much more than the sum of our genetic codes.

This item has been received fine, many thanks once again! I have received only very prompt and very courteous communication from this seller, this seller has sent me this book via a trackable, traceable, and registered service, which has arrived at the other end of this world a couple of days after the package has been shipped (the shipping itself was very prompt, just a couple of days after I have placed this order). I will definitely purchase again and I would definitely recommend this seller!
