La base del documental de PBS de Ken Burns "El gen: una historia íntima". Magnífico, necesario y absorbente, Siddhartha Mukherjee, ganador del Premio Pulitzer por El emperador de todos los males, ha escrito una extraordinaria «biografía» del gen y una respuesta a una de las cuestiones más relevantes del futuro: ¿Qué significa ser humano cuando se es capaz de manipular la información genética?La historia de cómo hemos descifrado el código fuente que nos hace humanos abarca todo el planeta y varios siglos -y probablemente defina el futuro que nos espera. Entrelazando ciencia, historia y vivencias personales, Mukherjee hace un recorrido por el nacimiento, el crecimiento, la influencia y el futuro de una de las ideas más poderosas y peligrosas de la historia de la ciencia: el gen, la unidad fundamental de la herencia, y la unidad básica de toda la información biológica. Desde Aristóteles y Pitágoras, pasando por los descubrimientos relegados de Mendel, la revolución de Darwin, Watson y Franklin, hasta los avances más innovadores llevados a cabo en nuestro siglo, este libro nos recuerda cómo la genética nos afecta a todos cada día. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The #1 NEW YORK TIMES Bestseller
The basis for the PBS Ken Burns Documentary The Gene: An Intimate History
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies--a fascinating history of the gene and "a magisterial account of how human minds have laboriously, ingeniously picked apart what makes us tick" (Elle).
"Sid Mukherjee has the uncanny ability to bring together science, history, and the future in a way that is understandable and riveting, guiding us through both time and the mystery of life itself." -Ken Burns
"Dr. Siddhartha Mukherjee dazzled readers with his Pulitzer Prize-winning The Emperor of All Maladies in 2010. That achievement was evidently just a warm-up for his virtuoso performance in The Gene: An Intimate History, in which he braids science, history, and memoir into an epic with all the range and biblical thunder of Paradise Lost" (The New York Times). In this biography Mukherjee brings to life the quest to understand human heredity and its surprising influence on our lives, personalities, identities, fates, and choices. "Mukherjee expresses abstract intellectual ideas through emotional stories...[and] swaddles his medical rigor with rhapsodic tenderness, surprising vulnerability, and occasional flashes of pure poetry" (The Washington Post). Throughout, the story of Mukherjee's own family--with its tragic and bewildering history of mental illness--reminds us of the questions that hang over our ability to translate the science of genetics from the laboratory to the real world. In riveting and dramatic prose, he describes the centuries of research and experimentation--from Aristotle and Pythagoras to Mendel and Darwin, from Boveri and Morgan to Crick, Watson and Franklin, all the way through the revolutionary twenty-first century innovators who mapped the human genome. "A fascinating and often sobering history of how humans came to understand the roles of genes in making us who we are--and what our manipulation of those genes might mean for our future" (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel), The Gene is the revelatory and magisterial history of a scientific idea coming to life, the most crucial science of our time, intimately explained by a master. "The Gene is a book we all should read" (USA TODAY).

Another Great Watch From OLEVS
Color: 2942 All Blue
OLEVS makes great and affordable everyday wear watches, and I quite enjoy this large square face watch, with one minor complaint. I opted to try the all blue design, and it looks really sharp. The deep blue causes the smaller accent colors like rose gold, white, and red, to really pop, giving the watch a nice definition and complex look. The size is nice and chunky, and the watch has a good weight, making it feel high quality. The only complaint I have is with the back of the watch face. The four "corners" of this watch on the back aren't smooth, leaving a few rough edges. It doesn't cause any visual changes, but I did have a moment or two where the back of the watch caught a hair on my arm, causing me to feel not so great. This is but a small complaint though. Overall, I'm quite the fan of OLEVS watches for regular and casual wear. They are visually striking, well made, and at a great price point. Highly recommended.

Beautiful OLEVS Luxury Square Chronograph Watch
Color: 2942 All Black
This OLEVS luxury square watch definitely makes a bold first impression. The oversized rectangular face combined with the black stainless steel strap and rose gold accents gives it a modern, high-end look that stands out without trying too hard. It has that “statement piece” vibe perfect if you want your accessories to get noticed.
The dial design is where this watch really shines. It features multiple sub-dials, a moon phase display, and luminous hands, all layered into a skeleton-style face that feels detailed and slightly futuristic. While it looks complex, the layout is still readable once you get used to it. The luminous feature is a nice touch for low-light visibility, though it’s not extremely bright.
In terms of build, the stainless steel strap feels sturdy and durable, and the watch has a solid weight to it and giving it a premium feel on the wrist. The clasp is secure, though you may need to adjust the links for a perfect fit. The water resistance is suitable for everyday splashes, but it’s not something you’d want to rely on for swimming.
The quartz movement will keeps accurate time, and the chronograph functions add a sporty edge, though they’re more of a bonus feature than something most people will use daily.
Pros:
* Eye-catching, luxury-inspired design
* Durable stainless steel build
* Multifunction dial with chronograph and moon phase
* Comfortable weight with a premium feel
Cons:
* Dial can feel a bit busy at first
* Luminous feature is moderate, not very strong
* Not ideal for heavy water exposure
This OLEVS watch is a great choice if you’re looking for an affordable timepiece that looks far more expensive than it is. It blends style and functionality well, making it perfect for dressy occasions or elevating everyday outfits.

Amazingly nice watch!
Color: 2942 Silver Black
I'm a big watch guy. I own many watches, of various brands, styles, and colors, along with both an Android and Apple watch. I like being able to pick a watch that goes just right with what I'm wearing. All that being said, this watch is an excellent addition to my collection, and here are my thoughts after having worn it multiple times.
This watch looks incredibly nice and is very well made for the price. It's currently around $50, and that's amazingly affordable considering the quality you get. I have the Silver Black version and it's gorgeous. It keeps time without issue and is easy to read, even in the dark thanks to a special coating that absorbs light. There are additional smaller dials inset that are also still easy to read, despite the smaller size. Setting time and date is easy, and I was able to adjust the band easily with the provided adjustment tool. This watch is on the heavier side and I like the feel of it, but I know some people prefer lighter watches, so keep that in mind. Nevertheless, I find it comfortable and classy.
Overall, I really like this watch and I highly recommend it. At its current price, it's an instant buy.

Bold and Eye Catching Watch That Adds Style to Any Outfit
Color: 2942 Black Red
I picked up this OLEVS square face watch because I wanted something that stood out more than a basic everyday watch. When it arrived, the first thing I noticed was how bold the design is. The large face and black with red accents really catch your attention, and it gives off a stylish look that works well with both casual and dressier outfits.
One thing I really like about this watch is how much detail it has. The multiple dials give it a more high end look, and it feels like more than just a simple timepiece. The weight feels solid on my wrist without being uncomfortable, and the strap fits well once adjusted. I also like that it is easy to read the time, even with all the extra design elements.
There are a couple small things I noticed after wearing it. The larger face may feel a bit bulky at first, especially if you are used to smaller watches. The design is also very bold, so it may not match every outfit depending on the look you are going for. Even with those small things, I have really enjoyed wearing it. It is a stylish and eye catching watch that adds personality and works well when you want something a little different.

Love the squarish shape dials are cool and helpful. ❤️🔥
Color: 2942 All Blue, Color: 2942 All Blue
There's a lot to love about this watch.
The squared profile gives you that big watch look without being gaudy or ridiculous. The blue with gold accents look great with both dress and casual clothes, especially denim.
I love this watch's features and I've gotten multiple compliments on it. great value all around.
Here's what stands out to me:
✅ The blue with gold accents are really stunning and unique. I've had people start conversations with me over this watch. 👍
✅ The squarish shape is complimentary for average and smaller wrists (doesn't look too bulky.)
✅ Gold accents look very distinguished, and the blue is great with jeans or a blue suit, very unique.
✅ The sun and moon dial is a beautiful feature that makes me happy. 🤷😅
✅ The 24hr time dial is extremely helpful. I need to refer to military time so that's nice. 🪖💪
✅ At a glance, the hands and accents are great for far-sighted folks like me.
✅ It's nice to have a date window at the bottom for quick reference.
✅ The linked watch band is comfortable and has a great symmetrical and slim profile that doesn't add bulk and doesn't pull at arm hair.
✅ The band does not sound hollow or jingle. (why I shake it in the video)
✅ The buttons and time setting are easy to access.
I'm really enjoying the quality and look of this watch but if there are any changes in my opinion or its quality, I'll be sure to report back in. 🤞 I hope you found my notes, pictures and video useful. Be well! ❤️🔥
