Description: SCIENCE AND THE FUTURE OF THE HUMAN RACE THIS MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK you will read this year. It tells us - in terms we can understand - of the pioneering work scientists have and are doing that changes dramatically our knowledge of life sciences, genetics and medical research. If you want to know what is happening in laboratories right now this is a must-read. Best-selling author Walter Isaacson focuses on the discoveries made by Dr Jennifer Doudma, an American biochemist at Berkeley University, San Francisco, and co-winner of the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 2020. His theme is ground-breaking work in gene editing and what it means for the future of the human race. THIS IS FAR FROM BEING A DULL SCIENTIFIC TOME. The author is a master of the art of blending deep research with unforgettable story-telling. He puts the brilliant work of the scientists into a context of human drama, elation and intense competition. The result is compulsive reading. It is a new hardcover book, unread and pristine in every way. It has numerous color photographs and, in addition to a general index, the publishers provide detailed source notes.
