Mark Henderson

There has never been a better time to be a geek (or a nerd, or a dork). What was once an insult used to marginalize those curious people (in either sense of the word) and their obsessive interest in science has increasingly become a badge of honour.

Why Science Matters

The Geek Manifesto

In recent years knowledge of our genetic code has changed our understanding of life on Earth. New genetic technologies are transforming the way we live and promise treatments for otherwise incurable diseases. But these advances are also generating controversy, particularly surrounding issues such as cloning and designer babies. In 50 Genetics Ideas, Mark Henderson distils the central ideas of genetics in a series of clear and concise essays. Beginning with the theory of evolution, and covering such topics as the genome and how nature and nurture work together, he not only illuminates the role of genes in shaping our behaviour and sexuality, but also the very latest, cutting-edge developments in gene therapy and artificial life. Accessible and informative, 50 Genetics Ideas is a timely introduction to this young and ground-breaking strand of science.

50 Genetics Ideas You Really Need to Know

The Geek Manifesto: Why Science Matters

Vivimos una auténtica revolución en el conocimiento humano. Desde que nuestra especie es capaz de elaborar un razonamiento complejo, nos hemos preguntado de dónde venimos, por qué nos comportamos como lo hacemos, cómo actúan nuestros cuerpos en la enfermedad y la salud, y por qué nos parecemos tanto unos a otros aunque, al mismo tiempo, somos muy distintos y poseemos una maravillosa individualidad. La filosofía y la psicología, la biología, la medicina y la antropología, e incluso la religión, han intentado ofrecer, con cierto éxito, respuestas a estas preguntas. Sin embargo, hasta hace muy poco carecíamos de una pieza fundamental de este rompecabezas, una pieza de gran significación en todos los aspectos de la existencia humana: el conocimiento de nuestro código genético.

How do men become idols? And how can we get close to them?

Household Idols

This compilation combines the qualities of Mark Henderson's bestsellers in a manner never seen before. Mark Henderson ushered the style of last century's physique photographers into the modern age.

Poolside Pleasures

In 2008, Mark Henderson created a very successful and impressive debut with his opulent coffe-table book Household Idols (Bruno Gmunder Verlag - available from Turnaround). In this new collection, he abstains from gaudiness to focus on a reduced, urbane ambiance. Unchanged, however, are the unbelievably good-looking models he chooses. Eye-catching effects and heavenly men compete for the attention of the readers - and, in the end, the art of erotic photogprahy wins.

Suburban Pleasures

With his previous works, Mark Henderson successfully transformed the man into an American Dream sex object. This fifth work celebrates this success and presents for our enjoyments hundreds of pages of men at home and by the pool, intimately and very private.
