Schneiderman Professor of Biology, Swarthmore College "A wonderful journey through the very basis of life and how we live."--Lewis Wolpert, Professor of Biology as Applied to Medicine, University College, London "Advances in biology increasingly impinge on our everyday lives, challenging us with new interventions and ideas of what it means to be human. In this book, the distinguished scientist Bill Loomis takes us effortlessly through the biology we need to understand to come to our own opinions about these issues of great importance to each of us and to society as a whole."--Paul Nurse, President of Rockefeller University, Winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine
