It Takes a Genome (Free Book for a Limited Time): How a Clash Between Our Genes and Modern Life is Making Us Sick
This is the eBook version of the printed book. If the print book includes a CD-ROM, this content is not included within the eBook version.
-A compelling, witty, and reader-friendly explanation of how our genes, fashioned for living in the Stone Age, are not so well-suited to life in the Modern Age.-
-Sean B. Carroll, author of The Making of the Fittest and Remarkable Creatures

-It-s taken thirty years, but we finally have in Greg Gibson-s It Takes a Genome what is truly a biologist-s response to the single-gene focus of Richard Dawkin-s early classic The Selfish Gene. And what a response it is! In Gibson-s world, we see a genome as an integrated whole, making sense only when the constituent parts, the genes, are considered in their full genomic and environmental context. It is an engaging, fascinating, accessible, and ultimately deeply satisfying perspective that will enrich the way we all think about ourselves and how we got to be the way we are.-
-David B. Goldstein, Professor of Molecular Genetics, Duke University
-
-Gibson has captured the delicate balance between the excitement of the genomic revolution and the frustration that so much is yet to be learned about the genomics of disease. This book is an ideal guide through the complexities of recent environmental change and how this non-genetic process has interacted with human genomic variation to produce today-s landscape of important chronic diseases.-
-Marc Feldman, Professor of Biology, Stanford University
-
-Gibson deftly synthesizes the new science linking genome variation and human health, debunking entrenched views about the causes and evolution of disease and arguing convincingly for a more comprehensive view. An important book and a great read.-
-David P. Mindell, Dean of Science, California Academy of Sciences
-
-Geneticist Gibson is a natural teacher. He brings a welcome balance to his descriptions of the roles of genes, the environment, and chance in the major human diseases.-
-Bruce Weir, Chair and Professor of Biostatistics, University of Washington

Human beings have astonishing genetic vulnerabilities. More than half of us will die from complex diseases that trace directly to those vulnerabilities, and the modern world we-ve created places us at unprecedented risk from them. In It Takes a Genome, Greg Gibson posits a revolutionary new hypothesis: Our genome is out of equilibrium, both with itself and its environment. Simply put, our genes aren-t coping well with modern culture. Our bodies were never designed to subsist on fat and sugary foods; our immune systems weren-t designed for today-s clean, bland environments; our minds weren-t designed to process hard-edged, artificial electronic inputs from dawn -til midnight. And that-s why so many of us suffer from chronic diseases that barely touched our ancestors.
Gibson begins by revealing the stunningly complex ways in which multiple genes cooperate and interact to shape our bodies and influence our behaviors. Then, drawing on the very latest science, he explains the genetic -mismatches- that increasingly lead to cancer, diabetes, inflammatory and infectious diseases, AIDS, depression, and senility. He concludes with a look at the probable genetic variatio...

from Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond on how they came up with for the book.Read Along! A reading of the book with turn-the-page signals. Amazon.com Review
"If you give a pig a pancake, she'll want some syrup to go with it. You'll give her some of your favorite maple syrup. She'll probably get all sticky, so she'll want to take a bath." You get the idea. Baths lead to bubbles, bubbles lead to rubber ducks, rubber ducks lead to wanting a trip to the farm. If You Give a Pig a Pancake is a delightful exploration of the scenario "if you give an inch, they'll take a mile." But who could refuse the whims of this adorable piglet? Not us, and certainly not the pig's young caretaker. Parents will feel a familiar twinge as they witness the pig's increasingly elaborate demands, and kids will be delighted that the story circles back around to the original pancake. Laura Numeroff and illustrator Felicia Bond--well-loved creators of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and If You Give a Moose a Muffin--succeed again in concocting a marvelously skewed study of cause and effect that inevitably results in a riotous read-aloud. Your kids will ask for this book again and again, and you won't want to refuse. (Ages 4 to 8) --Karin Snelson
