Deep down, everybody wants to know who they are and where they came from — it’s one of the restless, curious qualities that makes us human. But what happens if you discover that everything you thought was true was, in fact, a lie? That’s exactly what happened to Cheryl Whittle, who used genetic tests to dig into her family history — and uncovered a story more complex than she ever realized.

Cheryl isn’t alone: Millions of people now use popular DNA testing services like 23AndMe to look into their past. But while these amateur genetic detectives are often happy to understand more about themselves, their quest often breaches the privacy of others.

In Uprooted, Virginia Hughes confronts the thorny questions created by 21st century genealogy of whether the price of knowledge is acceptable. After all, your genetic code may be the most personal thing there is — but it’s not just yours to control any more.

Marcus, Greg and Lucia are back in the second part of their journey to their perfect love song... will they finally find it?

Book Two: This would have been their perfect love song…
It has been two years since Lucia Mpobo-Riddell has made her choice between the two men in her life. She and her beloved would have been perfectly happy if it wasn’t for… the constant distractions from her past, her sister Noor’s complicated life, her own doubts and fears. Maybe there wasn’t such a thing as perfection and this was a lesson that Lucia was going to learn the hard way. Greg McMullen and Marcus Grant’s lives had been affected by Lucia’s choice that day in Glasgow two years ago. Since then one had been fighting to keep her when the other had been relentlessly trying to get her back. It soon became apparent to them that she wasn’t the Lucia they met and fell in love with anymore. Her life and priorities had completely shifted. To even consider keeping her or just getting her back, they would have to accept it or they would have to let her go. But would they ever be able to do either?

Este libro es un viaje a la memoria de la especie humana.

Un viaje a la memoria de la especie humana. Un viaje cuyo punto de partida se remonta a millones de años atrás y en el que hay muchos puntos de inflexión. Viajamos acompañados por los trabajos de generaciones de científicos. Y vivimos con intensidad, como si estuviéramos a su lado, los esfuerzos, las dudas y las especulaciones de los hombres y mujeres que han ido desvelando nuestra historia.

En pocas ocasiones un libro de alto valor divulgativo, como éste, tan riguroso y actual en lo científico, ha logrado a la vez convertirse en un relato intenso y absorbente con la calidad evocadora de las grandes epopeyas. La estación final nos muestra a unos individuos frágiles y sujetos a mil amenazas, pero dotados de un arma poderosa: la capacidad de idear símbolos que los aglutinan y permiten la cooperación y el sacrificio en aras del bien común.
Toda una lección.
