| Synopsis: |
Chance in the House of Fate is about the biggest biology story of the last ten years: the discovery of remarkable family resemblances that unite every living thing in the tree of life, at the level of our genes. Jennifer Ackerman has risen to the occasion with a beautiful meditation on our likenesses, like a poet musing in the small hours after a family reunion.' Jonathan Weiner, author of The Beak of the Finch An award-winning science writer, Jennifer Ackerman explores the ancient cosmos of genes and molecules to discover our profound, often shocking connection with plants and animals. Intelligent, lively and lyrical, this is a magnificent addition both to literature and to science. |
