Mark Henderson, historik umenia zameraný na európske maliarstvo 17. storočia, čerpá inšpiráciu z expresívnych farieb a efektov chiaroscura barokových majstrov. Hoci jeho fotografie nie sú priamo barokové, jeho hlboká znalosť umenia ovplyvňuje jeho prácu subtílnym spôsobom. Henderson sa často vracia do pokojného prostredia domova, kde vytvára intímne portréty modelov, ktoré sú obdivované a idealizované súkromnejším spôsobom. Jeho tvorba sa vyznačuje jedinečnou vizuálnou citlivosťou a zameraním na intímne a osobné vyjadrenie.

Mark Henderson bleibt auch für seinen dritten Fotoband der Häuslichkeit treu: In POOLSIDE geht’s ab in den Garten – wo ganz dekadent ein üppiger Swimmingpool wartet. Hendersons Vorliebe für blendend gut aussehende, perfekt trainierte Adonisse bleibt weiterhin das Leitmotiv seiner Arbeit; ebenso ist die aufwendige, clevere Bildbearbeitung, die Henderson auf geniale Weise einsetzt – das ist digitale Fotokunst auf einem neuen Level. Kühle Blau- und Grüntöne dominieren klar und bilden einen erfrischenden Kontrast zu den heißen Kerlen.
Britain's leading science journalist presents a compelling argument that science is crucial to all political aspects, urging geeks, wannabe geeks, and secret geeks to unite as a force that leaders cannot overlook. The stigma once attached to being a geek has transformed into a badge of honor, highlighting the importance of curiosity and scientific interest. In a country where only one of 650 MPs has a background in research science, and where decisions based on scientific fact can lead to job loss, the need for scientific advocacy is urgent. The media often prioritizes sensationalism over factual reporting, as seen in the coverage of MMR vaccines and GM crops. Science and its experimental methods are essential for tackling issues like education, crime, public health, and clean energy. The time has come to reject the nonsense surrounding these topics. This manifesto outlines necessary steps to embed scientific thinking more deeply into politics and society, encouraging concerned citizens to channel their frustration into constructive action that cannot be ignored by those in power. Contributors include notable figures such as Ben Goldacre, Simon Singh, and Brian Cox.
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.
