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 variations in human psychology, sharing the evidence that traits like introversion and agreeableness are grounded in equally complex genetic interactions.   It Takes A Genome demolishes yesterday’s stale debates over “nature vs. nurture,” introducing a new view that is far more intriguing, and far closer to the truth.         See how broken genes cause cancerMeet the body’s “genetic repairmen”—and understand what happens when they fail  The growing price of the modern lifestyleWhy one-third of all Westerners have obesity, Type 2 diabetes, or other signs of “metabolic syndrome”  The Alzheimer’s generationWhy some of us are predisposed to dementia  What’s really normal: the deepest lessons of the human genomeThe remarkable diversity of physical and emotional “normality”

When Jesus saves us, everything changes. If we understand this, then our practice of dating, sex, and marriage simply cannot stay the same. The logic is pretty clear. Jesus saves us. Jesus changes us. Jesus changes how we view and practice things. Dating is one of those things. Sex is one of those things. Marriage is one of those things. Let's begin a conversation about how Jesus calls us to... Date Different.

The 2nd Edition of Reformational Manhood:If manhood is passed down from generation to generation, then we have a courageous and war-like adventure ahead of us. It's time to put our comfort and lack of discipleship on the line. If we know God has called us to make disciples, let's begin with ourselves. If we know biblical manhood is under attack, let's go forth with vigor. "The time is now," says Greg Gibson. "There really is no other option." 'Reformational Manhood' is a call to men to live courageous and bold lifestyles for Christ. Read it by yourself. Read it in groups. Take a younger guy through it. This book will raise the bar in your pursuit of true manhood.

A Primer of Genome Science bridges the gap between standard genetics textbooks and highly specialized, technical, and advanced treatments of the subdisciplines. It provides an affordable and up-to-date introduction to the field that is suited to advanced undergraduate or early graduate courses. Bioinformatic principles and experimental strategies are explained side-by-side with the experimental methods, establishing a framework that allows teachers to explore topics and the literature at their own pace.

Genome science has matured as a discipline to the point where it is now incorporated as a regular part of the genetics curriculum in universities. A Primer of Genome Science, Third Edition, bridges the gap between standard genetics textbooks and highly specialized, technical, and advanced treatments of the subdisciplines. It provides an affordable introduction to the field that is suited to advanced undergraduate or early graduate courses. Bioinformatic principles and experimental strategies are explained side-by-side with the experimental methods, establishing a framework that allows teachers to explore topics and the literature at their own pace. The Primer is organized into six chapters dealing with the scope of genomics, genome sequencing, variation and complex traits, gene expression, proteomics, and metabolomics. Each chapter includes several boxes explaining the theory behind bioinformatic methods, discussion questions, and a summary. This edition has been updated to include the latest developments in next-generation sequencing, high-volume genotyping and expression profiling, and advances in metabolomics. For Students Companion Website The Primer of Genome Science Companion Website includes the end-of-chapter exercises with links and downloadable files, as well as links to all of the websites referenced throughout the textbook. For Instructors (Available to Qualified Adopters) Instructor's Resource Library This resource includes all the full-color illustrations and all the tables from the textbook, in JPEG format, reformatted and relabeled for optimal readability. Also included are ready-to-use PowerPoint presentations of all illustrations and tables.

A Primer of Human Genetics is an introductory textbook designed to give students the foundation they need to understand and appreciate the extraordinary shifts in human genetics that have accompanied the arrival of genomics. The book lays out the key concepts of human evolution, quantitative genetics, and personalized medicine before describing the tools that are missing from most contemporary textbooks: genome-wide association studies, whole-genome resequencing, gene expression and epigenome profiling, and integrative genomics. The final section provides an up-to-date survey of specific findings in six major domains of human disease: immunological, metabolic, cardiovascular, cancer, neuropsychological, and aging disorders. After reading this textbook, not only will students be better equipped to read current literature, they will gain a sense of the impact that the revolution in genomics has had for our understanding of the human condition, as well as of the major trends in human genetics research. Students are assumed to have a core understanding of genetics such as would be obtained in a general genetics class. Each chapter is approximately 20 pages long, and organized under up to ten sub-headings, most of which incorporate an illustrative figure. Chapter summary points recap the key messages, and references point students to key reviews and contemporary highlights. Several of the chapters contain a single box, which provides extra material on topics such as "Consent and Responsible Conduct of Research" and "Methylation Analysis in Biology." For Instructors Instructor's Resource Library Available to qualified adopters, the Instructor's Resource Library includes electronic versions of all of the textbook's figures, photos, and tables. All images are provided as both low- and high-resolution JPEGs, and have been formatted and optimized for excellent legibility and projection quality. In addition, a ready-to-use PowerPoint presentation of all figures and tables is provided for each chapter of the textbook.
