560 pages | Hardcover
The bestselling author of Leonardo da Vinci and Steve Jobs returns with a gripping account of how Nobel Prize winner Jennifer Doudna and her colleagues launched a revolution that will allow us to cure diseases, fend off viruses, and have healthier babies.
When Jennifer Doudna was in sixth grade, she came home one day to find that her dad had left a paperback titled The Double Helix on her bed. She put it aside, thinking it was one of those detective tales she loved. When she read it on a rainy Saturday, she discovered she was right, in a way. As she sped through the pages, she became enthralled by the intense drama behind the competition to discover the code of life. Even though her high school counselor told her girls didn’t become scientists, she decided she would.
Driven by a passion to understand how nature works and to turn discoveries into inventions, she would help to make what the book’s author, James Watson, told her was the most important biological advance since his co-discovery of the structure of DNA. She and her collaborators turned ​a curiosity ​of nature into an invention that will transform the human race: an easy-to-use tool that can edit DNA. Known as CRISPR, it opened a brave new world of medical miracles and moral questions.
The development of CRISPR and the race to create vaccines for coronavirus will hasten our transition to the next great innovation revolution. The past half-century has been a digital age, based on the microchip, computer, and internet. Now we are entering a life-science revolution. Children who study digital coding will be joined by those who study genetic code.
Should we use our new evolution-hacking powers to make us less susceptible to viruses? What a wonderful boon that would be! And what about preventing depression? Hmmm…Should we allow parents, if they can afford it, to enhance the height or muscles or IQ of their kids?
After helping to discover CRISPR, Doudna became a leader in wrestling with these moral issues and, with her collaborator Emmanuelle Charpentier, won the Nobel Prize in 2020. Her story is a thrilling detective tale that involves the most profound wonders of nature, from the origins of life to the future of our species.

SOO COMFORTABLE!
Size: 9, Color: Mustard Seed
SOOO COMFORTABLE! I LOVE UGGS! That foot bed is SO SMOOTH! I can't tell you how many pairs of REAL Uggs I have, I actually STILL have my first pair from over 35 years ago, and no one can believe they're that old! I keep all of mine in excellent condition! So when I saw these "summer" sandals I absolutely had to order them! I put them on and didn't want to take them off! Of course they fit like a dream! I always wear a 9 in all of my Uggs, these might run a tiny bit bigger, BUT they are adjustable! If you don't have a wide foot, you might want to size down. My feet tend to swell in summer, so I'm staying with my 9's. Price was great on Amazon, and they're REAL Uggs! LOVE the color! highly recommend!

Comfortable and stylish.
Size: 9.5, Color: Dark Chestnut
Ordered up a half size (9.5) after first trying out my primary size (9). I've got wide feet but you wouldn't know it with these slides. They're comfortable, stylish and worth the price.

Very nicely made but runs really wide. The adjustable strap help but the front strap is wide and can’t be adjusted.
