master
Brian
Clegg’s
new
book
is
an
entertaining
tour
through
the
science
of
what
makes
you
you.From
the
atomic
level,
through
life
and
energy
to
genetics
and
personality,
it
explores
how
the
billions
of
particles
which
make
up
you
–
your
DNA,
your
skin,
your
memories
–
have
come
to
be.
It
starts
with
the
present-day
reader
and
follows
a
number
of
trails
to
discover
their
origins:
how
the
atoms
in
your
body
were
created
and
how
they
got
to
you
in
space
and
time,
the
sources
of
things
you
consume,
how
the
living
cells
of
your
body
developed,
where
your
massive
brain
and
consciousness
originated,
how
human
beings
evolved
and,
ultimately,
what
your
personal
genetic
history
reveals.

Recenzii
'What's
great
about
the
book
overall
is
both
Clegg's
gift
as
a
storyteller
-
it's
just
an
excellent,
pageturning
read
-
and
the
way
he
threads
together
so
many
revelations
about
us
as
humans,
the
sort
of
thing
that
you
want
to
share
with
someone
else.'
'The most interesting part is when the book explores what consciousness is (or, rather, highlights how little we know about it but still shows how much more there is to "us" than the conscious part) and pulls apart the old nature versus nurture debate with some remarkable material on genetics and how the influence of our environment is mathematically chaotic.'

Popular science master Brian Clegg's new book is an entertaining tour through the science of what makes you you. From the atomic level, through life and energy to genetics and personality, it explores how the billions of particles which make up you - your DNA, your skin, your memories - have come to be. It starts with the present-day reader and follows a number of trails to discover their origins: how the atoms in your body were created and how they got to you in space and time, the sources of things you consume, how the living cells of your body developed, where your massive brain and consciousness originated, how human beings evolved and, ultimately, what your personal genetic history reveals.
