The French Resistance

Simon & Schuster UK, 2009. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 320. The French resistance to Nazi occupation during World War II was a struggle in which ordinary people fought for their liberty, despite terrible odds and horrifying repression. Hundreds of thousands of Frenchmen and women carried out an armed struggle against the Nazis, producing underground anti-fascist publications and supplying the Allies with vital intelligence. Based on hundreds of French eye-witness accounts and including recently-released archival material, The Resistanceuses dramatic personal stories to take the reader on one of the great adventures of the 20thcentury. The tale begins with the catastrophic Fall of France in 1940, and shatters the myth of a unified Resistance created by General de Gaulle. In fact, De Gaulle never understood the Resistance, and sought to use, dominate and channel it to his own ends. Brave men and women set up organisations, only to be betrayed or hunted down by the Nazis, and to die in front of the firing squad or in the concentration camps. Over time, the true story of the Resistance got blurred and distorted, its heroes and conflicts were forgotten as the movement became a myth. By turns exciting, tragic and insightful, The Resistancereveals how one of the most powerful modern myths came to be forged and provides a gripping account of one of the most striking events in the 20thcentury.

Life's Greatest Secret. The Race to Crack the Genetic Code

BASIC BOOKS, 2015. Hardcover. Pp: 464. Everyone has heard of the story of DNA as the story of Watson and Crick and Rosalind Franklin, but knowing the structure of DNA was only a part of a greater struggle to understand life's secrets. Life's Greatest Secret is the story of the discovery and cracking of the genetic code, the thing that ultimately enables a spiraling molecule to give rise to the life that exists all around us. This great scientific breakthrough has had farreaching consequences for how we understand ourselves and our place in the natural world, and for how we might take control of our (and life's) future. Life's Greatest Secret mixes remarkable insights, theoretical dead-ends, and ingenious experiments with the swift pace of a thriller. From New York to Paris, Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Cambridge, England, and London to Moscow, the greatest discovery of twentieth-century biology was truly a global feat. Biologist and historian of science Matthew Cobb gives the full and rich account of the cooperation and competition between the eccentric characters-mathematicians, physicists, information theorists, and biologists-who contributed to this revolutionary new science. And, while every new discovery was a leap forward for science, Cobb shows how every new answer inevitably led to new questions that were at least as difficult to answer: just ask anyone who had hoped that the successful completion of the Human Genome Project was going to truly yield the book of life, or that a better understanding of epigenetics or "junk DNA" was going to be the final piece of the puzzle. But the setbacks and unexpected discoveries are what make the science exciting, and it is Matthew Cobb's telling that makes them worth reading. This is a riveting story of humans exploring what it is that makes us human and how the world works, and it is essential reading for anyone who'd like to explore those questions for themselves.

Mensen in hun wereld

Overamstel Uitgevers. Gekartonneerd. Een witgeschilderd jongetje in de jungle, een dagdromende carrièrevrouw in een lunchroom in Londen of een intiem portret van een Japanse geisha. Jodi Cobb fotografeert mensen in hun eigen wereld en wel zo dat het lijkt alsof zij er als fotograaf niet bij was. Cobb bouwde een carrière op door barrières te doorbreken. Ze vond haar weg in de ooit door mannen gedomineerde fotografiewereld, zoals ze haar weg vond naar ondoordringbare culturen waar weinigen haar waren voorgegaan. In de meer dan 60 landen die ze bezocht als fotojournalist, slaagde ze erin de diversiteit van onze mensheid in haar lens te vangen.National Geographic heeft als opdracht om lezers over de hele wereld te inspireren. Onze fotografen weten hoe ze grenzen kunnen opzoeken door middel van perspectief, belichting of compositie, maar ze hebben altijd als doel te communiceren. De serie Masters of Photography bevat het beste werk van de beste National Geographic fotografen. Deze wereldberoemde fotografen onderscheiden zich stuk voor stuk door hun ambachtelijke manier van werken, hun oog voor detail en hun gevoel voor het juiste moment. De boeken geven een beeld van onbekende volken en culturen, dieren, natuur, wetenschappelijke prestaties en nog veel meer!. ISBN: 9789048811731. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
