Book Description

November 1, 1996 1886670005 978-1886670006
Life scientists appear to be the wizards of this new era. They have ventured to tackle issues ranging from the origin of life to the origins of humankind; from medical and genetic knowledge to questions about how to control life and death. Spectacular are the achievements they have made. Who are these scientists? How do they operate? What do they believe? What do they value? Read it yourself.

Editorial Reviews

From Scientific American

... besides clarifying rules of research logic, there are many useful and informed comments on currently accepted views.

From The New Yorker
