Introducing Genetics by Steve Jones
Introducing Genetics takes readers on a journey through this new science to the discovery of DNA and the heart of the human gene map. In everyday life, many of us increasingly have to make moral decisions where genetics plays a part. This book gives us the information to do so.
Richard Osborne: Richard Osborne is a philosopher and writer with special interests in Art, Technology and contemporary culture. He is the author of several works including Philosophy For Beginners and Freud For Beginners. Richard Osborne currently teaches art theory and philosophy at the University of the Arts in London. His most recent book is Philosophy in Art (Zidane Press 2008) which examines the relationship between the two.
Borin Van Loon: Borin Van Loon is a freelance illustrator (since 1976). He is an author, collagist and surrealist painter and has worked for a wide variety of clients in editorial, publishing and promotion. He has created an eclectic collage/cartoon mural on the subject of DNA and genetics for the Health Matters Gallery in London's Science Museum.
Van Loon published The Bart Dickon Omnibus of his hero's derring-do in 2005 comprising a surrealist collage graphic novel.
Van Loon's 'Introducing' series of books in eclectic documentary comic-book format are published by Icon Books in the UK, and include: Darwin and Evolution (dealing with the extraordinary legacy of Charles Darwin) written by Jonathan Miller; Genetics written by Steve Jones; Cultural Studies, Mathematics, Media Studies and Science written by Ziauddin Sardar; Buddha, Eastern Philosophy, Sociology, Critical Theory and Hinduism. Introducing Psychotherapy by Nigel C. Benson displays a typical irreverent, but relevant approach to an abstruse subject by making it accessible to the lay reader in cartoon and design. Van Loon also illustrated Capitalism for Beginners written by Robert Lekachman; also DNA for Beginners by Israel Rosenfield and Ed Ziff.
Borin Van Loon has written, designed and illustrated two model-making books: DNA - The Marvellous Molecule which enables the reader to build a colour model of the double-helix structure discovered in 1953 by Francis Crick and James D. Watson with Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin; and Geodesic Domes where the models celebrate the pioneering work of Buckminster Fuller. He also painted many oil studies and designed the diagrams for the Letts Pocket Guide To The Weather.
