Beginning with a tour of epigenetic processes in the human body, the book assembles current theoretical and empirical developments across the discipline, among them transgenerational epigenetic inheritance, the effects of maternal nutrition on epigenetic change, and possible links between epigenetics and childhood obesity. Public health and policy aspects of the field are discussed in depth, with the understanding that much can be done to improve our epigenetic health as a species. And in this vein, contributors consider future possibilities, such as the reprogramming of genes to reverse cancer and other diseases. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIncluded in the coverage:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eThe role of environmental epigenetics in perinatal      and neonatal development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe epigenetic biomarker γH2AX: from bench science to clinical      trials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat’s      the risk?
