To Be Human

ENOUGH This is a truly remarkable work. I put it with Bill Bryson's SHORT HISTORY as a must read. Bill McKibben has written largely on environmental matters in the past. This book, however, goes into what the parameters of being human constitute. There are some remarkable insights here from genetics and nano technology. I read this over the weekend and I intend to give it a second read. Very thought-provoking stuff. Bill McKibben - Home Page
