Synopsis:
Popular science at its best -- the big questions are answered by leading scientific thinkers.
What is life about? How are men and women different? How did the universe begin? In this exciting new book, leading scientific thinkers address twenty of the really big questions that have been asked for hundreds of years. The contributors include: John Sulston, who led the British side of the Human Genome Project and who offers his views on whether we can ever end disease; Susan Greenfield, Oxford University professor of Pharmacology, who describes what she thinks is a thought; John Barrow, Cambridge professor of Mathematical Sciences, who tells us what time is; and American psychologist David Buss, who suggests why we fall in and out of love.
