The Double Helix.
James D. Watson. “Crick and Watson merged data from chemistry, physics and
biology to solve the structure of DNA, building a hypothetical model….” From
the dust jacket.
The Greatest Benefit to Mankind: A Medical History of
Humanity. Roy Porter. A history of medicine
from the clearly defined conviction of the Hippocratic oath to the muddy
ethical dilemmas of modern-day medicine.
The Immense Journey.
Loren Eiseley. Series of essays concerned with the meaning of evolution.
Eiseley views evolution as a continuing process, continuing to change to
become—who knows what? Men and women as they are now will not be the men and
women of the far future. We are working out what we are going to be. JW Krutch:
“We think of ourselves as the climax of evolution, but we may be hardly more
than its beginning.”
