Scientists' understanding of life is progressing more rapidly than at any point in history, from the amazing decoding of DNA to the questionable emergence of biotechnology. Displaying pioneering biologists, geneticists, physicists, and knowledge writers, Life talks about just how very good we've come - and takes a brilliantly educated estimate at where we're going. Richard Dawkins and J. Craig Venter compare genes to digital information and sketch the frontiers of genomic research. Edward O. Wilson reveals what ants can teach us about creating a superorganism - and, in turn, about how skin cells build an organism. Somewhere else, David Haig studies new findings about how parents individually affect the human genome while Kary Mullis covers cutting-edge treatments for dangerous trojans. And there's a lot more in this exciting volume. We may do not have all the answers. However the thinkers gathered in Life are asking questions that will keep us thinking for generations.
