ROBERTS, ALICE (514 Ergebnisse)

Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. Ohne Umschlag. Wie der Mensch die Natur und die Natur den Menschen zahmte ,Macht euch die Erde untertan" - offensichtlich hat sich die Menschheit die Anweisung aus der Bibel zu Herzen genommen.

Doch ist der Mensch wirklich der Machtigste im Spiel des Lebens oder nur ein Mittler der Biologie? Autorin und Forscherin Alice Roberts nimmt Sie mit auf eine Reise durch die Zeit und erzahlt die fesselnden Geschichten von zehn Arten, ohne die wir nicht waren, was wir sind. Die faszinierenden Biografien der Spezies, die zu unseren Verbundeten wurden: Hunde, Rinder, Pferde, Huhner, Weizen, Mais, Kartoffeln, Reis und Apfel Die Entwicklung des Menschen: So bestimmten domestizierte Tiere und Pflanzen unser Leben von der neolithischen Revolution bis heute Die Zahmung der Gene: Was wir aus der Erforschung der Domestikation lernen konnen und welche machtigen Werkzeuge sie uns fur unsere Zukunft an die Hand gibt Tiere und Pflanzen, die unsere Welt veranderten Wie wurde der Wolf zum Hund, wo spross die erste Maispflanze und welchen Einfluss nahmen sie auf unsere Kulturgeschichte? Die Anekdoten aus Vergangenheit und Gegenwart, die Alice Roberts anfuhrt, sind so uberraschend wie vielfaltig. Sie verbinden archaologische Funde und anthropologische Spuren mit aktueller Genforschung und zeichnen ein eindrucksvolles Bild vom Menschen, der die Natur zahmte und damit sich selbst.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER We all want to lead a happy life. Traditionally, when in need of guidance, comfort or inspiration, many people turn to religion.

In THE LITTLE BOOK OF HUMANISM, Alice Roberts and Andrew Copson share over two thousand years of humanist wisdom through an uplifting collection of stories, quotes and meditations on how to live an ethical and fulfilling life, grounded in reason and humanity. With universal insights and beautiful original illustrations, THE LITTLE BOOK OF HUMANISM is a perfect introduction to and a timeless anthology of humanist thought from some of history and today's greatest thinkers.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Don't Die Young is a revelatory tour of the human body, which accompanied the major BBC2 television series.

There are many aspects of your health that you can control, and she explains how you can reduce your risk of suffering many disorders, from cystitis to cancer, and headaches to heart disease. With authoritative advice, amazing photographs and clear diagrams, she cuts through the jargon. (What exactly are antioxidants and trans-fatty acids?) This book will change the way you think about your body, and you will be better equipped to combat disease - and to treat any health advice with very healthy scepticism.
