It was The Double Helix, James Watson's account of how he and Francis Crick had discovered the structure of DNA, the spiral-staircase molecule that carries the genetic instruction code for all forms of life. This book guided Jennifer Doudna to focus her studies not on DNA, but on what seemed to take a backseat in biochemistry: figuring out the structure of RNA, a closely related molecule that enables the genetic instructions coded in DNA to express themselves. Doudna became an expert in determining the shapes and structures of these RNA molecules an expertise that led her to develop a revolutionary new technique that could edit human genes.

Cary Grant famously said, Everyone wants to be Cary Grant--even I want to be Cary Grant. His development of the movie-star image required serious work, but he also played a variety of characters that demanded many different performing talents. He was equally skilled in screwball farces suchas The Awful Truth, dark suspense films like Notorious, romantic love stories such as An Affair to Remember, domestic comedies similar to Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, and social dramas including None but the Lonely Heart. Some Versions of Cary Grant is focused on the art of one of the mostadmired actors in Hollywood history. In a lively style accompanied by many illustrations, author James Naremore analyses Grant's performances in a gallery of his best films, demonstrating exceptional skill and a greater range than that with which he is usually credited. Discussing his most famous and forgotten films alike, Naremore's book shows how Grant adjusted his technique to the different styles and wo

What do infants know? How does the knowledge that they begin with prepare them for learning about the particular physical, cultural, and social world in which they live? Answers to this question shed light not only on infants but on children and adults in all cultures, because the coreknowledge possessed by infants never goes away. Instead, it underlies the unspoken, common sense knowledge of people of all ages, in all societies. By studying babies, researchers gain insights into infants themselves, into older children's prodigious capacities for learning, and into some of theunconscious assumptions that guide our thoughts and actions as adults. In this major new work, Elizabeth Spelke shares these insights by distilling the findings from research in developmental, comparative, and cognitive psychology, with excursions into studies of animal cognition in psychology and in systems and cognitive neuroscience, and studies in the computationalcognitive sciences. Weaving across these discip

In a 1965 letter to Newsweek, French writer and academic Bernard Fall (1926-67) staked a claim as the 'Number One Realist' on the Vietnam War. This is the first book to study the thought of this overlooked figure, one of the most important experts on counterinsurgency warfare in Indochina.Nathaniel L. Moir's intellectual history analyses Fall's formative experiences: his service in the French underground and army during the Second World War; his father's execution by the Germans and his mother's murder in Auschwitz; and his work as a research analyst at the Nuremberg Trials. Moir demonstrates how these critical events shaped Fall's trenchant analysis of Viet Minh-led revolutionary warfare during the French-Indochina War and the early Vietnam War. In the years before conventional American intervention in 1965, Fall argued that--far more than anything in the UnitedStates' military arsenal--resolving conflict in Vietnam would require political strength, willpower, integrity and skill.
