Synopsis
We know that many physical characteristics are determined by genes. But do genes also affect mental characteristics, such as the way we feel? In this pioneering book, Samuel Barondes answers the question by focusing on two families with long histories of manic depressive illness. By tracing the path of this illness back through several generations, we learn ways to physically isolate the genes that influence human behaviour -- and to decipher their secrets. 'Barondes has a talent for making the complex comprehensible and allowing readers access to a medical detective story that is taking leaps forward in our own time' - Peter D. Kramer, author of Listening to Prozac

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Penguin Edition. At least one in a hundred people suffer from severe mania and depression, while many more have milder mood fluctuations. Until recently mood swings were attributed to life experiences. But as the author shows, scientists have not only demonstrated that there is an inherited predisposition to mania and depression but are on their way to finding the specific gene variants that are involved. Drawing on the latest research, he describes the dramatic hunt for such 'mood genes', the new treatments this will lead to, and the ethical issues raised by their discovery. In dealing with the specific issues raised by mood disorders, this book is a compelling introduction to genetic studies of human behaviour. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.). N° de réf. du vendeur 006284
