Not from a library. Suitable for gifting. Understanding genetics is like sitting down to work a massive puzzle. With each piece you examine, think through, and solve, you glean a new and amazing insight into humanity. Put several pieces together, and you can treat or cure a disease, save a developing fetus from a fatal birth defect, catch a criminal, or reunite a family. Each lecture begins with a helpful story that illustrates the importance of genetics. The course explicitly outlines the connections between the science of genetics and the health-related problems that plague us in modern society, and illuminates how studying genetics can be instrumental in solving those problems.

Zustand: Fine. A fine 24 lecture comprehensive course, including the accompanying guidebook, on the current field of genetics and what it implies for our everyday lives Both the DVD set and book are in fine condition with no marks or damage at all From the publisher: It is DNA-deoxyribonucleic acid, the self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms Award-winning teacher, author, and cancer researcher Dr David Sadava unlocks its mysteries in his new course, Understanding Genetics: DNA, Genes, and Their Real-World Applications He guides us through decades of scientific discovery and the weighty implications for us, as individuals and as a society How are the traits of an organism-be it a fern or a human father-passed on to its offspring? This course outlines the history of the science of genetics and explains in detail what we have learned in recent decades about the building blocks-DNA Dr Sadava, a working scientist who draws on examples from his own research, shows us how understanding genetics allows us to improve medical treatment and nutrition, vastly improving our health and quality of life Understanding genetics is also a critical step toward understanding our human identity Examining our DNA-how it works and what happens when something goes wrong-enables us to see the roots of how our bodies work, why we get sick, and how traits are passed through families Enjoy this rare opportunity to peer over the shoulder of a working scientist; learn how he puzzles through the problems of genetics to find meaningful solutions that can save lives Dr Sadava shares cutting-edge research guided by his passion to help laypeople understand the meaning and importance of genetics. …
