The Life Game: Evolution and the New Biology - Hardcover
From the Book Jacket: "The eloquence, rigor, clarity, and wisdom of Nigel Calder's writing have been teamed with the BBC's stunning graphics in three previous works: 'Violent Universe,' 'The Mind of Man,' and 'The Restless Earth.' Now the author turns to what must - in human terms - be his most enthralling book in the sequence so far. From the evolutionary eons and mind-boggling genetic odds that put each one of us here, to the awesome promise and peril inherent in genetic engineering for the future, the author takes us on an intellectual and actual odyssey of the scientific action around the world. It is a journey that can only leave us speculating with renewed vigor and fresh vision on that question of questions: Why do we exist?..."
