Unravelling the Mystery of SARS-CoV-2
An Alarm That Was Rung and Never Delivered
A scientific detective story that follows SARS-CoV-2 from the first infected cell to the intensive care unit.
Why were some people barely touched while others died? Why were the elderly hit hardest and children largely spared? Why did the body's earliest alarm, the cell's stress-response system, ring and yet fail to save so many?
Drawing on public sequencing data from hundreds of experiments, the book traces how the virus slips past early defences, when it reaches the blood, what it damages first, and how sudden inflammation turns a survivable infection into a fatal one.
- Clear, story-driven science, with no specialist background needed
- Charts, tables and numbered endnotes to the original studies
- Public datasets and reproducible methods in the appendices
- A roadmap for future research and precision drug discovery

Science and Art of Strategy
A Living and Thinking Systems Approach: In Pursuit of Novelty
How to think strategically rather than copy someone else's strategy.
Strategy is treated here as a living, thinking system. From Sun Tzu, Napoleon, Jomini and Clausewitz to the OODA loop, systems thinking and the modern corporation, the book builds a framework for creating novel strategies that fit your own organisation and environment.
It focuses on how to think, not on a list of ready-made strategies, so leaders can explore their own capabilities and circumstances.
- Military, business and political strategy in one framework
- Systems thinking applied to competition and innovation
- For executives, officers, entrepreneurs and students

Bioinformatics Analysis of Stem Cell Regulatory Architecture
A Systems Approach to Human Longevity
Why does a bristlecone pine live five thousand years while human tissues wear out?
This book connects three fields that are rarely studied together: plant stem cell biology, epigenetics and human ageing. It compares the gene switches that keep stem cells young in long-lived organisms with those that fail in human tissues.
Using comparative genomics and computational analysis across plants, worms, hydra, mice and humans, it asks what it would take to keep our own stem cells renewing.
- Cross-kingdom comparison of stem cell gene networks
- Epigenetic 'clocks' and why tissues age at different rates
- Bioinformatics methods explained step by step
- Research hypotheses for longevity science
