Primarily addressing students and recent graduates, its lessons are not laden with jargon; its focus is topics and choices that apply to most young people, not just a few, and not those relevant only late in life. The Missing Second Semester presents a call to action: You're in charge. Understand the opportunity, and make the choices.

How tiny variations in our personal DNA can determine how we look, how we behave, how we get sick, and how we get well. News stories report almost daily on the remarkable progress scientists are making in unraveling the genetic basis of disease and behavior. Meanwhile, new technologies are rapidly reducing the cost of reading someone's personal DNA (all six billion letters of it). Within the next ten years, hospitals may present parents with their newborn's complete DNA code along with her footprints and APGAR score. In Genetic Twists of Fate, distinguished geneticists Stanley Fields and Mark Johnston help us make sense of the genetic revolution that is upon us. Fields and Johnston tell real life stories that hinge on the inheritance of one tiny change rather than another in an individual's DNA: a mother wrongly accused of poisoning her young son when the true killer was a genetic disorder; the screen siren who could no longer remember her lines because of Alzheimer's disease; and the president who was treated with rat poison to prevent another heart attack. In an engaging and accessible style, Fields and Johnston explain what our personal DNA code is, how a few differences in its long list of DNA letters makes each of us unique, and how that code influences our appearance, our behavior, and our risk for such common diseases as diabetes or cancer.

One of The Wall Street Journal’s 10 Best Nonfiction Books of the Year Philadelphia, 1959: A scientist scrutinizing a single human cell under a microscope detects a missing piece of DNA. That scientist, David Hungerford, had no way of knowing that he had stumbled upon the starting point of modern cancer research— the Philadelphia chromosome. It would take doctors and researchers around the world more than three decades to unravel the implications of this landmark discovery. In 1990, the Philadelphia chromosome was recognized as the sole cause of a deadly blood cancer, chronic myeloid leukemia, or CML. Cancer research would never be the same. Science journalist Jessica Wapner reconstructs more than forty years of crucial breakthroughs, clearly explains the science behind them, and pays tribute—with extensive original reporting, including more than thirty-five interviews—to the dozens of researchers, doctors, and patients with a direct role in this inspirational story. Their curiosity and determination would ultimately lead to a lifesaving treatment unlike anything before it. The Philadelphia Chromosome chronicles the remarkable change of fortune for the more than 70,000 people worldwide who are diagnosed with CML each year. It is a celebration of a rare triumph in the battle against cancer and a blueprint for future research, as doctors and scientists race to uncover and treat the genetic roots of a wide range of cancers.

Behaving presents an overview of the recent history and methodology of behavioral genetics and psychiatric genetics, informed by a philosophical perspective. Kenneth F. Schaffner addresses a wide range of issues, including genetic reductionism and determinism, "free will," and quantitative and molecular genetics. The latter covers newer genome-wide association studies (GWAS) that have produced a paradigm shift in the subject, and generated the problem of "missing heritability." Schaffner also presents cases involving pro and con arguments for genetic testing for IQ and for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Schaffner examines the nature-nurture controversy and Developmental Systems Theory using C. elegans or "worm" studies as a test case, concluding that genes are special and provide powerful tools, including "deep homology," for investigating behavior. He offers a novel account of biological knowledge emphasizing the importance of models, mechanisms, pathways, and networks, which clarifies how partial reductions provide explanations of traits and disorders. The book also includes examinations of personality genetics and of schizophrenia and its etiology, alongside interviews with prominent researchers in the area, and discusses debates about psychosis that led to changes in the DSM-5 in 2013. Schaffner concludes by discussing additional philosophical implications of the genetic analyses in the book, some major worries about "free will," and arguments pro and con about why genes and DNA are so special. Though genes are special, newer perspectives presented in this book will be needed for progress in behavioral genetics- perspectives that situate genes in complex multilevel prototypic pathways and networks. With a mix of optimism and pessimism about the state of the field and the subject, Schaffner's book will be of interest to scholars in the history and philosophy of science, medicine, and psychiatry.

In The Missing Gene of Reason, the author argues that intolerance and divisiveness that leads to conflict is due to the missing gene of reason that makes people susceptible to being indoctrinated with beliefs that originated in an era when men were less tolerant and respectful of human life. The book provides some fascinating insights into the history and origins of Christianity and explains why the scribes who edited and compiled the New Testament were directed by Constantine to shift the blame for the execution of Christ from Rome to the Jews an injustice that resulted in the persecution of Jews. Because secular morality has brought about dramatic changes to our values since the era of the biblical myths when Moses devised God s laws, observance of most of God s laws is now called murder. In saying he has never met a Christian who wasn t a heretic, the author points out that people who call themselves Christians no longer respect God s biblical laws that demand the stoning to death of homosexuals, disobedient sons, women who have sex before marriage, those who worship a God of a different faith and those who work on God s Sabbath of Saturday. In stating that without reason we are but a rudderless vessel drifting on the sea of ignorance to be taken by the currents of fantasy in the direction of those we allow to determine our beliefs, the author points to the great paradox that has confounded philosophers throughout the ages. Namely, that in spite of the fact that the Bible claims that God committed genocide by drowning everyone and discredits God with its endless nauseating descriptions of his serial killings and demands that we should do likewise, Christian propaganda has succeeded in convincing their flock that the Bible is a virtuous guide by which to lead their lives. Furthermore, the author considers that because the Bible asserts that both God and Christ approve of slavery and that God approves of a father selling his daughter as a sex slave, the Bible s justification of evil and portrayal of God as psychopathic killer has been the greatest cause of man s inhumanity to his fellow man. The author claims that the only defense the Church can have for obeying God s demands that they kill, torture and burn heretics alive, is that God not only set the precedent when he created hell, but also prevented his believers from knowing the difference between good and evil when he denied them access to the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the garden of Eden. In providing evidence that the Church rightly considers reason to be the enemy of faith, the author argues that governments have a responsibility to promote tolerance and pacifism by requiring that taxpayer funded or subsidized schools provide students with a modern education that is free from religious divisiveness and bias against truth, reason and science. Because the author s bases his contentions on the facts of history and what the Holy Scriptures actually say, the readers only defense is to disregard both. "
