73670 VIROLUTION: The Most Important Evolu- tionary Book Since Dawkins’ Selfish Gene by Frank Ryan The unveiling of the entire human genome on 12 February 2001 laid bare for the first time the core of humanity. Of our 20,000 genes, we have only a third more than a fruit fly and just a few more than a nematode worm. Not only that, but of those 20,000 genes, 2,578 and 2,031 are shared with that fruit fly


and nematode respectively, demonstrating a common ancestry. But what really took the researchers aback were the large fragments of genetic material derived directly from viruses, evidence for the extraordinary role of viruses in the evolution of life on earth and their vital involvement in a huge range of essential biological processes. How did these chunks of viral DNA get incorporated and replicated into our chromosomes, and what are the implications? In this compelling and often rather disturbing guide to this new field of study, Dr Ryan shows the probable mechanisms of genetic incorporation and the amazing range of implications that have thus arisen for the study of evolution and especially many common serious diseases, such as cancer, the autoimmune diseases, multiple sclerosis and mental illnesses like schizophrenia. Ryan keeps things understandable for the layman and writes fluently and with great enthusiasm. 400pp of cutting edge stuff in paperback.

56215 SHAKESPEARE AND HIS TRAGIC LIFE: A Biography


by Frank Harris


First published in 1909 as ‘The Man Shakespeare and his Tragic Life Story’ this is a lively biography of England’s and arguably the world’s greatest playwright and poet by an ardent admirer. A product of late- Victorian Bardolatry, Harris’s ‘Shakespeare’ was both hailed and


criticised in its day. Controversial and self-confident, this biographical study retains its interest as a work of period charm. Bristling with fresh, if not always convincing arguments, combative in style and with a full battery of belletristic effects, Harris as ever pulls off a tour de force. 312pp in Wordsworth paperback. With an introduction and biography by J. H. Stape. ONLY £4

We should like to wish Mr Ken Davis (pictured below, far laft) of Paignton a very Happy Birthday for November 29th. Ken was the person who created the opportunity for Annie to buy the business Bibliophile back in 1992 and has been a Director up until last year. His brilliant mathematical brain sharpened our Annie’s buying and business skills and he has been her mentor and dear friend and shared many experiences along the way. This catalogue is dedicated to Ken, with gratitude and appreciation of all his many kindnesses - and just being there, oh and the speech at Annie’s wedding in 2001!
