Summary
The Imprinted Brain sets out a radical new theory of the mind and mental illness based on the recent discovery of genomic imprinting. Imprinted genes are those from one parent that, in that parent's interest, are expressed in an offspring rather than the diametrically opposed genes from the other parent. For example, a higher birth weight may represent the dominance of the father's genes in leading to a healthy child, whereas a lower birth weight is beneficial to the mother's immediate wellbeing, and the imprint of the mother's genes will result in a smaller baby. According to this view, a win.

"The real fault line in American politics is not between liberals and conservatives ... It is, rather, in how we orient ourselves to the generations to come who will bear the consequences, for better and for worse, of our actions."

Orr describes how political negligence, an economy based on the insatiable consumption of trivial goods, and a disdain for the well-being of future generations have brought us to the tipping point that biologist Edward O. Wilson.

She not only discusses the critical role our fatty tissue plays in maintaining our health and well-being but also sheds light on those often-confusing terms - such as triglycerides, polyunsaturated, omega-3, and trans fat - that are tossed around in the media, but which few people really understand. If you want to understand what fat is all about, let Leas be your guide."--BOOK JACKET.
