Trade paperback. Condition: Very good. The format is approximately 5.25 inches by 8 inches. xx, 220 pages. Map. Illustrations. Appendix A and B. Selected Reading. Index. Decorative cover has slight wear and soiling. Samantha Weinberg is a British novelist, journalist and podcaster. Educated at St. Paul's Girls' School and Trinity College, Cambridge, she is the author of books such as A Fish Caught in Time: The Search for the Coelacanth and the James Bond inspired trilogy The Moneypenny Diaries under the alias Kate Westbrook. Since 2019, she has been a contributor to Tortoise Media. In 2023, she wrote and narrated Trace of Doubt, an eight-part true crime podcast series for Audible. Just before Christmas in 1938, Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer, a young woman curator of a small South African museum, spotted a strange-looking fish on a trawler's deck. It was five feet long, with steel-blue scales, luminescent eyes and remarkable limb-like fins, unlike those of any fish she had ever seen. Determined to preserve her unusual find, she searched for days for a way to save it, but ended up with only the skin and a few bones. A charismatic amateur ichthyologist, J.L.B. Smith, saw a thumbnail sketch of the fish and was thunderstruck. He recognized it as a coelacanth (pronounced see-la-kanth), a creature known from fossils dating back 400 million years and thought to have died out with the dinosaurs. With its extraordinary limbs, the coelacanth was believed to be the first fish to crawl from the sea and evolve into reptiles, mammals and eventually mankind. The discovery was immediately dubbed the "greatest scientific find of the century." Smith devoted his life to the search for a complete specimen, a fourteen-year odyssey that culminated in a dramatic act of international piracy. As the fame of the coelacanth spread, so did rumors and obsessions. Nations fought over it, multimillion-dollar expeditions were launched, and submarines hand-built to find it. In 1998, the rumors and the truth came together in a gripping climax, which brought the coelacanth back into the international limelight. A Fish Caught in Time is the entrancing story of the most rare and precious fish in the world--our own great uncle forty million times removed. First Harper Perennial Edition [stated]. Presumed first printing thus.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Helena Greenwood es la directora de marketing de una empresa de biotecnología del sur de California que ha participado como científica en los primeros estudios que se han hecho sobre el ADN. Cuando tiene noticias de la invención de un nuevo método recientemente patentado de identificación por medio del ADN convence a los ejecutivos de su empresa de la conveniencia de entrar en ese nuevo y prometedor campo de investigación. Pero poco después es asesinada en el jardín de su propia casa. Un año antes había sido víctima de una agresión sexual y los indicios apuntan al agresor, Paul Frediani, que es considerado por ello como el principal sospechoso del asesinato. Pero no hay testigos, ni huellas dactilares, ni fibras que puedan inculparlo, y la policía archiva el caso durante más de una década. Quince años después, durante un registro rutinario de los archivos, una investigadora de la policía encuentra los recortes de uña conservados desde la autopsia de la víctima y piensa que tal vez en ellos puede haber restos de piel del asesino. En el momento de producirse el asesinato, quince años antes, estos recortes no tenían ninguna utilidad, pero ahora, después de los avances científicos en la utilización forense del ADN, van a proporcionar las pruebas necesarias para arrestar y condenar al asesino. Samantha Weinberg intercala la historia del asesinato y del juicio con visitas a los laboratorios y descripciones de cómo se descubrió y se desarrolló el método de identificación por ADN, remontándose hasta el nacimiento de la ciencia de la genética con Gregor Mendel y el descubrimiento de la estructura en doble hélice del ADN por Watson y Crick. Esta es una historia verdadera, rigurosamente investigada y documentada, y escrita realmente como una apasionante novela policíaca en la que la autora logra mantener un elevado nivel de suspense incluso cuando el lector conoce perfectamente los hechos investigados. Precisamente por ello la Asociación de Escritores de Novelas de Crímenes del Reino Unido decidió otorgar a esta obra el premio Gold Dagger para obras de no ficción. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
