A Life Decoded: My Genome: My Life (Softcover) by J. Craig Venter

Of all the remarkable 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. A Life Decoded is the triumphant memoir from J. Craig Venter, one of the most fascinating and controversial figures in science today. Venter tells of his rise from uninspired student to a brilliant scientific mind who announced that he would decode the human genome years earlier and more chaeply than the government sponsored Human Genome project - a prediction he fulfilled in 2001. New softcover. 2007.
