Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Your heart and your liver do not know the same time. At this moment, regardless of what your watch says, each organ in your body is running its own biological clock, cycling through its own daily rhythm of activity and rest, and those rhythms do not all point in the same direction. This is not… a metaphor. It is measurable molecular biology, and it changes everything about how we should understand health, disease, and the timing of treatment.Biological Time Zones begins where most biology textbooks stop. Yes, there is a master clock in the brain, a cluster of twenty thousand neurons in the hypothalamus called the suprachiasmatic nucleus, and yes, its mechanisms were recognised by the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. But the master clock is not a dictator. It is a coordinator, and the organs it coordinates are not fully obedient. Each has its own molecular clockwork, its own dominant time cue, and its own capacity to drift out of phase when life pushes it in a different direction.The liver follows food, not light. Change when you eat, and within a week your liver clock has shifted to align with the new meal schedule while your brain clock, anchored by morning light, stays where it was. The result is two clocks in the same body running several hours apart, and the metabolic consequences of that misalignment are well-documented and serious. The heart's circadian programme makes the morning hours most dangerous for people with cardiovascular disease, as platelet aggregability, blood pressure, and catecholamine levels all peak simultaneously in the first hour after waking. Asthma is a nocturnal disease because the lung clock makes airways most reactive at four in the morning. The immune system schedules its most intensive patrol and killing activity during the hours of sleep. These are not incidental observations. They are fundamental features of how the body works that modern medicine is only beginning to account for.Prof. Siobhan O'Flaithearta makes the case throughout for a medicine that takes biological time seriously: not just the time of day, but the specific clock phase of the organ being treated. The evidence she marshals is already applied in select clinical settings. Bedtime antihypertensives. Morning vaccinations. Evening inhaled corticosteroids. Cancer drug infusions timed precisely to the tumour cell cycle. Each of these rests on the same foundational insight: the right treatment at the right time depends entirely on understanding which clock you are treating and what time that clock is keeping.This is one of the most consequential scientific shifts in modern medicine. This book is how it becomes visible. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Mapmaker's Heresy: One Woman's Quest to Redraw the Known WorldFor three centuries, women shaped the maps the world navigated by and received no credit for it.In this sweeping work of narrative history, Sienna Voss traces the hidden liv…es of women whose geographic knowledge built empires, corrected official surveys, and in some cases outpaced the very institutions that refused to acknowledge them.From the drafting rooms of seventeenth-century Amsterdam, where women revised the celebrated Blaeu atlases under anonymous designations, to the Himalayan foothills where the Maharani of Cooch Behar funded her own border survey after the British colonial administration refused her access to her own territory's maps the evidence of women's cartographic labor is everywhere, once you know how to look for it.Voss spent five years in archives across four continents, recovering stories that the official record buried. She follows Isabella Bird across the Rocky Mountains with a barometric altimeter, producing altitude readings more accurate than the U.S. Army's. She finds Mary Kingsley arguing, in 1899, that colonial West Africa was governed from maps that were fundamentally wrong and that they were wrong because the women who knew the landscape had been excluded from making them. She documents the Women Airforce Service Pilots who flew photographic survey missions over the United States in 1944, whose images became the maps, and who went home on buses when the war ended.The pattern that emerges across three centuries and seven cultures is not merely one of missing credit. It is a pattern of missing knowledge of a cartographic tradition shaped by exclusions that made the maps themselves less accurate, less useful, and less truthful than they needed to be.The Mapmaker's Heresy is a book about history. It is also a book about what happens when the people who know the land are not the people who draw it and what we lose when their knowledge is left off the map.For readers of Map of a Nation by Rachel Hewitt, The Invisible Woman by Camilla Paglia, and Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. For four centuries, the Han Dynasty ruled the ancient world's most populated empire sixty million people, six million square kilometers, and a bureaucratic machine of breathtaking precision. It sent ambassadors to Central Asia, negotiated with steppe confederacies, and received envoys from as…far as the Roman east. None of it was possible without a group of people the official record almost never bothered to name.They were called tongyi. Common tongues. The interpreters.The Emperor's Forgotten Tongue is the story of the men and women who stood between the Han imperial court and every world it could not speak to the Xiongnu chieftains of the northern steppe, the Sogdian merchants of the Silk Road, the Buddhist missionaries arriving from India, the diplomatic brides sent to live among nomads, and the frontier soldiers who learned foreign languages one desperate conversation at a time. These were people whose skills were indispensable and whose contributions were systematically erased, people who carried the empire's secrets in their mouths and were trusted and feared in equal measure.Drawing on the Shiji and Hanshu, the wooden administrative strips from Juyan and Dunhuang, the Ancient Sogdian Letters, and a century of scholarship in Chinese, Japanese, and Western languages, Caelan Voss reconstructs the forgotten translation apparatus of one of history's greatest empires. What emerges is a portrait not of passive conduits but of active agents people who omitted when they had to, embellished when the ceremony required it, defected when the system gave them no reason to stay, and occasionally changed the course of diplomacy with a single word chosen over another.Their story raises questions that have not grown old. Who controls the terms on which cultures meet? What is lost when translation serves power rather than truth? And what do we owe to the people whose invisible labor makes all communication across difference possible?The Emperor's Forgotten Tongue is narrative nonfiction at the intersection of history, linguistics, and the politics of language a book about an ancient empire and the human beings who held it together, one translation at a time.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. A woman lies in a Nashville hospital bed while doctors infuse her own blood back into her veins. Nothing about the moment looks dramatic. But the cells in that bag have been rewritten at the molecular level, and within weeks, a disease that hospitalized her more than thirty times will simply s…top.This is not science fiction. It already happened.THE EDITOR INSIDE takes you inside the decade that changed what it means to be human, when scientists learned to read, cut, and rewrite the code inside every living cell, and turned a strange defense system found in yogurt bacteria into a cure sitting in hospitals right now.You will meet the obscure microbiologists who spent thirty years chasing a genetic pattern nobody could explain, before two women turned it into the most consequential laboratory tool of the century and won a Nobel Prize for it. You will sit inside the cut itself, watching a molecular machine search three billion genetic letters in hours and slice exactly one. You will learn why a famine that struck a nation eight decades ago still leaves a chemical signature on the grandchildren of survivors, and what that means for everything you thought you knew about inheritance.Then the story turns dark. A scientist in China secretly edited human embryos and went to prison for it, three children alive today who never consented to what was done to them. A French hospital cured one fatal disease and accidentally triggered another. A two million dollar price tag stands between a proven cure and the children who need it most, one thousand of them born every single day in places that will never see this medicine.This book does not flinch from any of it. It does not oversell a miracle, and it does not manufacture a panic. It gives you the real science, the real failures, the real costs, and the real stakes, explained with the clarity of a gifted teacher and the pace of a thriller you cannot put down.You will close this book understanding precisely what gene editing can do today, what remains genuinely impossible, and why the difference between those two things matters more than almost anything else happening in science right now. You will understand the case that should worry you and the cure that should give you hope, and you will be able to tell them apart, which is more than most people who talk about this technology can do.The future of human biology is no longer something that happens to us. It is something we are beginning to write. THE EDITOR INSIDE is the story of the people holding the pen, the patients whose lives now depend on what they write, and the choices still ahead of all of us.Read it in a day. You will not want to put it down before then anyway. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - A woman lies in a Nashville hospital bed while doctors infuse her own blood back into her veins. Nothing about the moment looks dramatic. But the cells in that bag have been rewritten at the molecular level, and within weeks, a disease tha…t hospitalized her more than thirty times will simply stop.This is not science fiction. It already happened.THE EDITOR INSIDE takes you inside the decade that changed what it means to be human, when scientists learned to read, cut, and rewrite the code inside every living cell, and turned a strange defense system found in yogurt bacteria into a cure sitting in hospitals right now.You will meet the obscure microbiologists who spent thirty years chasing a genetic pattern nobody could explain, before two women turned it into the most consequential laboratory tool of the century and won a Nobel Prize for it. You will sit inside the cut itself, watching a molecular machine search three billion genetic letters in hours and slice exactly one. You will learn why a famine that struck a nation eight decades ago still leaves a chemical signature on the grandchildren of survivors, and what that means for everything you thought you knew about inheritance.Then the story turns dark. A scientist in China secretly edited human embryos and went to prison for it, three children alive today who never consented to what was done to them. A French hospital cured one fatal disease and accidentally triggered another. A two million dollar price tag stands between a proven cure and the children who need it most, one thousand of them born every single day in places that will never see this medicine.This book does not flinch from any of it. It does not oversell a miracle, and it does not manufacture a panic. It gives you the real science, the real failures, the real costs, and the real stakes, explained with the clarity of a gifted teacher and the pace of a thriller you cannot put down.You will close this book understanding precisely what gene editing can do today, what remains genuinely impossible, and why the difference between those two things matters more than almost anything else happening in science right now. You will understand the case that should worry you and the cure that should give you hope, and you will be able to tell them apart, which is more than most people who talk about this technology can do.The future of human biology is no longer something that happens to us. It is something we are beginning to write. THE EDITOR INSIDE is the story of the people holding the pen, the patients whose lives now depend on what they write, and the choices still ahead of all of us.Read it in a day. You will not want to put it down before then anyway.
