Even the most conservative members of the information and communication industries are now examining the implications of investing in electronic media while keeping up-to-date with electronic developments in preparing and producing conventional hard-copy product. One of the problems of getting to grips with the strategic assessment of the electronic information industry is that it is cloaked in its own arcane vocabulary. Before one can progress with an understanding of both media and markets, it is essential to demystify this jargon and get at the basic ideas in simple, easy-to-understand terms.

A top behavioral geneticist makes the case that DNA inherited from our parents at the moment of conception can predict our psychological strengths and weaknesses. In Blueprint, behavioral geneticist Robert Plomin describes how the DNA revolution has made DNA personal by giving us the power to predict our psychological strengths and weaknesses from birth. A century of genetic research shows that DNA differences inherited from our parents are the consistent lifelong sources of our psychological individuality—the blueprint that makes us who we are. Plomin reports that genetics explains more about the psychological differences among people than all other factors combined. Nature, not nurture, is what makes us who we are. Plomin explores the implications of these findings, drawing some provocative conclusions—among them that parenting styles don't really affect children's outcomes once genetics is taken into effect. This book offers readers a unique insider's view of the exciting synergies that came from combining genetics and psychology. The paperback edition has a new afterword by the author.
