Redemption THIS MORTAL COIL (2LP+CD/180 Gram)

Causes of death have changed irrevocably across time. In the course of a few centuries we have gone from a world where disease or violence were likely to strike anyone at any age, and where famine could be just one bad harvest away, to one where in many countries excess food is more of a problem than a lack of it. Why have the reasons we die changed so much? How is it that a century ago people died mainly from infectious disease, while today the leading causes of death in industrialised nations are heart disease and stroke? And what do changing causes of death reveal about how previous generations have lived? • University of Manchester Professor Andrew Doig provides an eye-opening portrait of death throughout history, looking at particular causes - from infectious disease to genetic disease, violence to diet - who they affected, and the people who made it possible to overcome them

3 billion lives at stake. 2 people who can save them. 1 secret hidden in their DNA • A breathtaking debut series about one girl's quest for answers in a genetically and technologically advanced future • When a lone soldier, Cole, arrives with news of Lachlan Agatta's death, all hope seems lost for Catarina • Her father was the world's leading geneticist, and humanity's best hope of beating a devastating virus • Then, hidden beneath Cole's genehacked enhancements she finds a message of hope: Lachlan created a vaccine • Only she can find and decrypt it, if she can unravel the clues he left for her. The closer she gets, the more she finds herself at risk from Cartaxus, a shadowy organization with a stranglehold on the world's genetic tech. But it's too late to turn back
