Why do children look like their parents? Why are some people blond and others brunette, and where do we get our eye colour from? This book explains genetic theory, what genes are, why DNA plays an important role and what all these insights have to do with a curious monk. An exciting journey through the history of science, present-day genetic research and engineering and right through to the question of identity - because who would have thought how much of our personality is defined by our genes and how interesting genes can be?

Rod Smith
World War 2, the Summer of 1945. Germany has surrendered. Adolf Hitler is dead. The war continues as Japan fights on. The USA has developed a new, powerful weapon, the atomic bomb. Its creator, J. Robert Oppenheimer now calls himself the “Destroyer of Worlds.” Japan surrenders after hundreds of thousands are killed when the atomic bombs are dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The war might be over, but the world will never be the same again. This is the story of Oppenheimer and the impact of the atomic bomb on the world. It is also the story of the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Hibakusha, who continue to provide their eye-witness accounts today. Their message? “This must never happen again!”
