Synopsis
This revealing diary, kept for 12 months from January 2000, takes us on a literary exploration of laboratories and beyond to see the impact on human life and culture of headliners such as RU 486, AIDS drugs and other current developments, including the controversial use of stem cells., From stem cells to alternative medicine to the mapping of the genome, a lively and stimulating stroll through today's great scientific breakthroughs Over the course of one year (2000 - 01), celebrated essayist and research physician Gerald Weissmann documented the modern age of enlightenment, charting its scientific marvels and new plagues. His diary of "the year of the genome" takes us on a literary exploration of laboratories and beyond to see the impact on human life and culture of Dolly the sheep, mad cow disease, RU 486, the Human Genome Project, AIDS drugs, and a score of other current developments. Whether calling on Ralph Waldo Emerson to explain Craig Venter's drive to unravel the genome or tracing the effect of Rachel Carson's legacy on the spread of malaria around the world, Weissmann is an invaluable interpreter of the genetic revolution.
