Title: Mysterious World of the Human Genome

Author: Frank Ryan

Narrator: Matt Bates

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10:23:00

Language: English

Release date: 06-18-15

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers UK

Genres: Science & Technology, Biology & Chemistry

Summary:

How could a relatively simple chemical code give rise to the complexity of a human being? How could our human genome have evolved? And how does it actually work?

Over the past 50 years we have deciphered the inner workings of the human genome. From the basic structure of DNA through to the complete sequence of the code, what first appeared to be simple is actually a complex and beautiful three-dimensional world that makes each of us who we are.

In The Mysterious World of the Human Genome acclaimed science writer Frank Ryan leads us through the most exciting scientific discoveries of the last 50 years, revealing how this science has unlocked the cure of some genetic diseases, developed the use of DNA in forensic science and paternity testing, helped us trace our ancestors and provided a definitive map for the movement of humans out of Africa. This scientific journey has had a profound impact on our understanding of the evolution of life itself, through the role of the most ancient of organisms in our basic biology all the way to the revelation that our most recent ancestor, Homo neanderthalensis, lives on in many of us.

In the ever more complicated world of the human genome, this is the first book to explain how the human genome actually works as a whole and how that knowledge will have a profound effect on our understanding of where we have come from and where we are likely to be going in the future.

Title: Trigger Warning: Is the Fear of Being Offensive Killing Free Speech?

Author: Mick Hume

Narrator: Steven Crossley

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11:45:00

Language: English

Release date: 06-18-15

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers UK

Genres: Non-Fiction, Philosophy

Summary:

In this blistering polemic, veteran journalist Mick Hume presents an uncompromising defence of freedom of expression, which he argues is threatened in the West, not by jackbooted censorship but by a creeping culture of conformism and You-Cant-Say-That.

The cold-blooded murder of the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists in January 2015 brought a deadly focus to the issue of free speech. Leaders of the free-thinking world united in condemning the killings, proclaiming Je suis Charlie. But it wasnt long before many commentators were arguing that the massacre showed the need to apply limits to free speech and to restrict the right to be offensive.

It has become fashionable not only to declare yourself offended by what somebody else says, but to use the offence card to demand that they be prevented from saying it. Social media websites such as Twitter have become the scene of twitch hunts where online mobs hunt down trolls and other heretics who express the wrong opinion. And Trigger Warnings and other measures to protect sensitive students from potentially offensive material have spread from American universities across the Atlantic and the internet.

Hume argues that without freedom of expression, our other liberties would not be possible. Against the background of the historic fight for free speech, Trigger Warning identifies the new threats facing it today and spells out how unfettered freedom of expression, despite the pain and the problems it entails, remains the most important liberty of all.
