Type: Hard Back First Printing. Hardcover Book and Dust Jacket As New. Fine binding of white half cloth with gilt titles, navy boards, in immaculate condition. Binding is tight & solid, square with sharp corners. Internals as new also. The story of Craig Venter's quest for the entire human genome - a chronicle of a scientific adventure of stupendous importance. The account of the decoding of the human genome is a thrilling story of detection, but also a revealing and often troubling look at how science is increasingly practiced today--a discipline in which financial demands, political machinations, and ego often undermine the pursuit of knowledge that might save lives. 390 pages with Notes and Index. 9.5 x 6.3 inches. 2007, Viking Press, New York, New York, USA.
