Politics & Prose and Sixth & I Present Siddhartha Mukherjee
Pulitzer Prize-winning author of THE EMPEROR OF ALL MALADIES, Mukherjee is an assistant professor of medicine at Columbia and has written for publications including Nature, The New York Times, and The New England Journal of Medicine. His new book, THE GENE is a comprehensive study of one of the defining elements of identity: the gene. Looking back to the ancients, Mukherjee charts the questions, discoveries, and mysteries that led to the formulation of modern genetics, and he offers a variety of ways our insight into heredity and our ability to read genetic codes will influence our future. Unfolding his own double helix, Mukherjee keeps in perspective both laboratory science and how its discoveries play out in the real world, reminding us of all the individual lives bound up in humanity's fate.
