Medicine Health Science Books Amazon. This is perhaps the greatest detective story ever tolda millennia long search, led by a thousand explorers, from Aristotle to Mendel to Francis Collins, for the question marks at the center of every living cell. Like The Emperor of All Maladies, The Gene is prodigious, sweeping, and ultimately transcendent. If youre interested in what it means to be human, today and in the tomorrows to come, you must read this book. Anthony Doerr, author of All the Light We Cannot SeeThe Gene is a magnificent synthesis of the science of life, and forces all to confront the essence of that science as well as the ethical and philosophical challenges to our conception of what constitutes being human. Paul Berg, winner of the Nobel Prize in ChemistryCompelling. Highly recommended. Booklist, starred reviewSobering, humbling, and extraordinarily rich reading from a wise and gifted writer who sees how far we have comebut how much farther far we have to go to understand our human nature and destiny. Kirkus, starred reviewMukherjee deftly relates the basic scientific facts about the way genes are believed to function, while making clear the aspects of genetics that remain unknown. He offers insight into both the scientific process and the sociology of science. By relating familial information, Mukherjee grounds the abstract in the personal to add power and poignancy to his excellent narrative. Publishers Weekly, starred reviewA magisterial account of how human minds have laboriously, ingeniously picked apart what makes us tick. The Gene will confirm Mukherjee as our eras preeminent popular historian of medicine. The Gene boats an even more ambitious sweep of human endeavor than its predecessor. Mukherjee punctuates his encyclopedic investigations of collective and individual heritability, and our closing in on the genetic technologies that will transform how we will shape our own genome, with evocative personal anecdotes, deft literary allusions, wonderfully apt metaphors, and an irrepressible intellectual brio. Ben Dickinson, ElleMagnificent. The story of the gene has been told, piecemeal, in different ways, but never before with the scope and grandeur that Siddhartha Mukherjee brings to his new history he views his subject panoptically, from a great and clarifying height, yet also intimately. James Gleick, New York Times Book ReviewMany of the same qualities that made The Emperor of All Maladies so pleasurable are in full bloom in The Gene. The book is compassionate, tautly synthesized, packed with unfamiliar details about familiar people. Jennifer Senior, The New York TimesMukherjees visceral and thought provoking descriptions.

In Guns, Germs, and Steel Jared Diamond presents the biologists answer geography, demography, and ecological happenstance. Diamond evenhandedly reviews human history on every continent since the Ice Age at a rate that emphasizes only the broadest movements of peoples and ideas. Yet his survey is binocular one eye has the rather distant vision of the evolutionary biologist, while the other eye and his heart belongs to the people of New Guinea, where he has done field work for more than 3. This text refers to the Hardcover edition. Most of this work deals with non Europeans, but Diamonds thesis sheds light on why Western civilization became hegemonic History followed different courses for different peoples because of differences among peoples environments, not because of biological differences among peoples themselves. Those who domesticated plants and animals early got a head start on developing writing, government, technology, weapons of war, and immunity to deadly germs. LJ 21. 59. 7 Copyright 1.
