KURT MENDONÇA, AUTOR DO "GUIA DE SOBREVIVÊNCIA PARA VÍTIMAS DE NARCISISTAS MALIGNOS": Excelente introdução à nova ciência da Epigenética!

J. Dufresne: Quick read. Nice introduction to Epigenetics. Fulfills its title, so not deep, hence a quick read. For something deeper: The Epigenetics Revolution: How Modern Biology Is Rewriting Our Understanding of Genetics, Disease, and Inheritance

Graham Neill: By reading some other reviews I thought there would be more in depth details of mechanisms but it seems more like a basic introduction to the subject rather than cutting edge developments. Overall you get what it says on the tin, but the figures are very cartoonish and could have been done better

Carlos Neto: Amazing book, it breaks down such a complex subject into very easy to understand concepts. I would like to thank the authors for writing in such a manner that even people with basic genetic knowledge (like me) were able to learn a great deal from this book. Thanks a lot.

Sazza: A better understanding on all the influences on health.

Frank B.: A good start to the subject, but;
Cheaply put together, cheap cartoons.
If you left it on the bus, it wouldn't be a disaster.

Lady3mlnm: Short and interesting introduction to epigenetics. Don't expect from this book much but it fulfills its purpose - gives you an overview of the subject without too many technical details. But the book is not for science newbies, it requires some preliminary knowledge in cellular biology and genetics. I've read it before begining of an epigenetic online-course.

I would rate this book 4.5 stars. And since the author touched on my favorite topic of aging processes and finding ways of returning cells to a younger state, I round up.

Sheila Dunn: The language used was simple but the graphs used did not succeed in supporting my understanding of the topic, Epigenetics. Some helped to explain a few of the genetic processes but most didnt, which I feel was because the graphical image was too obscure and didn't clearly relate to the explanation!!

Math Student: I bought this book for a friend who is interested in science and was asking me some questions about epigenetic. I looked through several books here at Amazon and decided to by this particular book. I was interested in the graphical approach to introducing the subject as I have a couple of other books on DNA sequencing and protein synthesis that presented the material in a nice way with great graphics. Unfortunately I was un impressed with the book and felt that the title was misleading. Although there were lots of pictures I didn't feel that they added much to the presentation of the material. Still I do think that it does provide an introduction to the subject for nonscientists.

Graham H. Seibert: As the book explains, while DNA is the code that defines an organism, epigenetics provides the notes on how to translate the code into a real live organism.

The book is formatted for modern readers. It is short as Kindle books go – only 1385 locations. It is divided into chapters about one page each in length. I include the chapter index at the end of the review. It is rich in diagrams.

In writing such a book, the author must strike a balance between readability and completeness. She has to make some assumptions about the reader. This book appears to assume that the reader will be college educated, not flummoxed by the introduction of new technical terms, and somewhat familiar with genetics. In other words, it is not for everybody.

I am 50 years out of college but have read much of the popular literature on genetics, starting with Dawkins' Selfish Gene. I found that the book demanded my attention, forcing me to reread a few chapters in order to fully grasp the concepts, but in the end quite satisfying.

DNA, the blueprint for our bodies, is invariant. Every cell of the body contains the same long, complex DNA molecules. However, DNA always exists among...
