Here is a multidimensional playland of ideas from the world's most eccentric Nobel-Prize winning scientist. Kary Mullis is legendary for his invention of PCR, which redefined the world of DNA, genetics, and forensic science. He is also a surfer, a veteran of Berkeley in the sixties, and perhaps the only Nobel laureate to describe a possible encounter with aliens. A scientist of boundless curiosity, he refuses to accept any proposition based on secondhand or hearsay evidence, and always looks for the "money trail" when scientists make announcements.

Mullis writes with passion and humour about a wide range of subjects: from science to parapsychology, cloning to HIV and AIDS, global warming to astrology and religion, from the O.J.Simpson trial to a method for turning on a light bulb with one's mind - challenging the authority of scientific dogma.

James D. Watson When, in late March of 1953, Francis Crick and I came to write the first Nature paper describing the double helical structure of the DNA molecule, Francis had wanted to include a lengthy discussion of the genetic implications of a molecule whose struc ture we had divined from a minimum of experimental data and on theoretical argu ments based on physical principles. But I felt that this might be tempting fate, given that we had not yet seen the detailed evidence from King's College. Nevertheless, we reached a compromise and decided to include a sentence that pointed to the...

With an emphasis on the ethical debate over how far biotechnology should go when it comes to the human body, this book discusses how drugs are being used to treat diseases and genetic disorders.

Edited by the inventor of PCR and two prominent experts in PCR techniques, this first comprehensive handbook on the Polymerase Chain Reaction has the most up to date methodological protocols from the world's leading laboratories. Included are exciting new techniques and enhanced methods, previously unavailable in book form, that show the novice and experienced PCR user exactly how they can optimize their results. The applications chapters are quite unique, with the foremost researchers providing not only protocols, but explaining why PCR has revolutionized their particular field. Future...
