The triumphant memoir of the man behind one of the greatest feats in scientific history
Of all the scientific achievements of the past century, perhaps none can match the deciphering of the human genetic code, both for its technical brilliance and for its implications for our future. In A Life Decoded, J. Craig Venter traces his rise from an uninspired student to one of the most fascinating and controversial figures in science today. Here, Venter relates the unparalleled drama of the quest to decode the human genome?a goal he predicted he could achieve years earlier and more cheaply than the government-sponsored Human Genome Project, and one that he fulfilled in 2001. A thrilling story of detection, A Life Decoded is also a revealing, and often troubling, look at how science is practiced today.

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. 1st Edition. London. Allen Lane/Penguin Books. First Edition. Second printing. Medium 8vo. 6.5 x 9.3 . ([16.5cm x 23.5cm] approx. 357 pp approx and notes. Glossy black and white photographs in the text. Flat signed direct to the title page without dedication. Very uncommon signed UK printing. Black boards with grey titles to the spine. Slight shelf wear to the top edge around the head of the spine. Book is fine and jacket near fine. In June 2000, for the first time in human history, scientists were able to unravel the mysteries contained within our genetic code. Craig Venter is the brilliant maverick who had made this happen. And since then, in 2006, he has gone on to decode the whole of his own genome, the first complete genome of any single human being. In "A Life Decoded" he tells his extraordinary life story from childhood, the young rebel running wild on the tracks, all the way through to the present day. It's a tale that includes Presidents, Prime Ministers and kings, princes of capitalism and science, but it is also a voyage of discovery through Venter's self-examination, his scientific accomplishments and his own genetic code. In life Craig Venter has pushed back the boundaries of the possible. "A Life Decoded" is the ultimate autobiography, asking us what we can ever really know of ourselves. The dust jacket will be protected with a new protective mylar sleeve which is removable. Please contact us if you would like any more information or additional images.
