Synopses

The Diet Myth

This book challenges common assumptions about health and weight loss, arguing that the answers are more surprising than many expect. It focuses on the role of the microbes inside us, rather than relying on fad diets or the simple idea of eating less and exercising more.

Drawing on recent science and the author’s own research, it addresses misconceptions around fat, calories, vitamins and nutrients. It suggests that understanding personal microbes can help cut through modern nutrition confusion and support a healthy gut and body.

Identically Different

This book looks at how scientific thinking about genes has shifted since the discovery of DNA. It describes how genetic research and studies in epigenetics are changing ideas about genes, identity and evolution, presenting genes as able to change and adapt in response to environment.

It explores the role genes play in shaping identity, and ranges across topics including sexuality, religion, cancer, autism, politics, pubic hair, clones and bacteria, considering what makes people unique and human.
