One can find more productive ways to think about genes. As a physician who researches and treats rare genetic disorders, Sharon Moalem, the author of “Inheritance,” sees firsthand how sharply DNA can constrain our lives. Yet “our genes aren’t as fixed and rigid as most of us have been led to believe,” he says, for while genetic defects often create havoc, variable gene expression (our genes’ capacity to respond to the environment with a flexibility only now being fully recognized) can give our bodies and minds surprising resilience. In his new book, Moalem describes riveting dramas emerging from both defective genes and reparative epigenetics.

As you can see, I, unfortunately, do not have them consolidated on a single page but you will be able to gather in the variety of links that I have been compiling various good to read nonfiction audio books over the past decade or so. Originally I listened to these on cassette tape and then ripped them onto CDs and now I am using Audible.com.
Finally, you will notice that with some of the more recent books I rated them using a star ranking system and posted my reviews on Amazon.
