Title in this Set: Identically Different Why You Can Change Your Genes by Professor Tim Spector Condition: BRAND NEW Format: Paperback ISBN: 9781780220901 Professor Tim Spector guides readers through the latest discoveries in genetic research and his pioneering epigenetics studies with clear, lively prose. Rather than treating genes as immutable blueprints, Spector shows they behave like a dynamic code — plastic and responsive to environment, diet, microbes, and behavior. This bestselling-author approach brings complex science into everyday life, exploring implications for everything from disease risk (cancer, autism) to identity (sexuality, culture) and even evolution. The book invites readers to rethink entrenched ideas about nature versus nurture and consider how our choices can shape not only personal health but potentially that of future generations. What's inside: Engaging explanations of epigenetics and how genes can change their expression over time. Real-world examples and case studies from Tim Spectors research into the gut microbiome, nutrition, and family studies. A wide-ranging look at human diversity — from clones to bacteria, and from pubic hair to politics — explained with wit and evidence. Practical insights about lifestyle factors that influence genetic expression and long-term health.
