Paperback. Zustand: Good. "A lucid, thought-provoking account of the case for 'nature' as a determinant of personality."-Peter D. Kramer, Author ofListening to ProzacandShould You Leave? Nowhere is the nature-nurture controversy being more arduously tested than in the labs of world-renowned molecular scientist Dean Hamer, whose cutting-edge research has indisputably linked specific genes to behavioral traits, such as anxiety, thrill-seeking, and homosexuality. The culmination of that research is this provocative book,Living with Our Genes. In it, Dr. Hamer reveals that much of our behavior-how much we eat and weigh, whether we drink or use drugs, how often we have sex-is heavily influenced by genes. His findings help explain why one brother becomes a Wall Street trader, while his sibling remains content as a librarian, or why some people like to bungee-jump, while others prefer Scrabble. Dr. Hamer also sheds light on some of the most compelling and vexing aspects of personality, such as shyness, aggression, depression, and intelligence. In the tradition of the bestselling bookListening to Prozac,Living with Our Genesis the first comprehensive investigation of the crucial link between our DNA and our behavior. "Compulsive reading, reminiscent of Jared Diamond, from a scientist who knows his stuff and communicates it well."-Kirkus Reviews "A pioneer in the field of molecular psychology, Hamer is exploring the role genes play in governing the very core of our individuality. Accessible . . . provocative."-Time "Absolutely terrific! I couldn't put it down."-Professor Robert Plomin, Social, Genetic & Developmental Psychiatry Research Center, Institute of Psychiatry.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Targets Down is the follow-up to retired FBI agent Bob Hamer's Enemies Among Us, which Publishers Weekly hailed as a page-turning roller coaster that feels like Jack Bauer's 24 without sailing over the top. When an FBI wife is critically wounded and two people are found dead on a mountain pass, special agent Matt Hogan is tasked with identifying those responsible. The undercover assignment takes him into the shadow world of Russian organized crime, neo-Nazis, and the sex-slave industry. Matt's cover is almost blown twice--once by accident, once by incompetence within the FBI ranks--making violence appear to be his only solution. As he confronts evil, Hogan relies not only on the strength of his wife's faith but his own quest to find God. He also finds terror and terrorism on this heart-pounding journey. Acclaim for Targets Down: Hamer delivers a gripping suspense novel which could also be read as a textbook on criminal enterprise and undercover operations. The Suspense ZoneA poignant, brave, and honest novel, alternately luridly bracing and surprisingly touching . . . Nick Searcy, actor (Justified) His lifetime of undercover experiences brings a sense of realism to his latest page-turning work. Jeffrey Hunt, director (CSI, CSI: NY).…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. - An Amazon Best Book of the Year for 2016 - Costa Book Award for First Novel finalist - Dagger Award finalistNewly single mom Beth has one constant, gnawing worry: that her dreamy eight-year-old daughter, Carmel, who has a tendency to wander off, will one day go missing. And then one day, it happens: On a Saturday morning thick with fog, Beth takes Carmel to a local outdoor festival, they get separated in the crowd, and Carmel is gone. Shattered, Beth sets herself on the grim and lonely mission to find her daughter, keeping on relentlessly even as the authorities tell her that Carmel may be gone for good. Carmel, meanwhile, is on a strange and harrowing journey of her own--to a totally unexpected place that requires her to live by her wits, while trying desperately to keep in her head, at all times, a vision of her mother . Alternating between Beth's story and Carmel's, and written in gripping prose that won't let go, The Girl in the Red Coat--like Emma Donoghue's Room and M. L. Stedman's The Light Between Oceans--is an utterly immersive story that's impossible to put down . . . and impossible to forget.

What's most powerful here is not whodunnit, or even why, but how this mother and daughter bear their separation, and the stories they tell themselves to help endure it. --Celeste Ng (Everything I Never Told You)Compulsively readable.Beautifully written and unpredictable, I had to stop myself racing to the end to find out what happened. --Rosamund Lupton (Sister) Both gripping and sensitive -- beautifully written, it is a compulsive, aching story full of loss and redemption. --Lisa Ballantyne (The Guilty One)Hamer's dark tale of the lost and found is nearly impossible to put down. --Booklist. …
