  Pop culture meets cutting-edge science in this one-volume introduction to the history of science and
modern biology.
  
  “[Weissmann] has emerged in the last three decades as America’s most
interesting and important essayist. He has achieved this status both epigenetically and through Twitter, word of mouth,
so to speak. . . . Much like Susan Sontag, Weissmann likes being a contemporary, and does not feel shackled by
tradition. . . . This book is a joy for the heart and instructive for the mind.” —ERIC KANDEL, Nobel
Laureate and author of In Search of Memory
  
  “Only a mind as nimble and well traveled as Gerald
Weissmann’s could see, never mind make and expound on, the connections between salamanders and Prohibition . . .
white blood cells, Hollywood and erectile dysfunction . . . health care reform and Marie Antoinette . . . bacteria, the
Equal Rights Amendment and the “Miracle on the Hudson.” Better yet, Weissmann does so with wit and insight.
A fascinating tour through history, science and pop culture.” —MAX GOMEZ, MD, Emmy Award-winning WCBS-TV
Medical Correspondent
  
  “Erudite energy leaps from this lively commingling of art, culture and
science. . . . In each [essay], Weissmann finds links between research and elements of history and pop culture, which
play off each other to illuminating effect. So US politician Sarah Palin pops up in a discussion of ‘Marie
Antoinette syndrome’. . . and the ‘meltdown’ of the mythical Icarus meets the nuclear version at the
Fukushima Daiichi power plant in Japan.” —Nature
  
  Epigenetics, which attempts to explain how
our genes respond to our environment, is the latest twist on the historic nature vs. nurture debate. In addressing this
and other controversies in contemporary science, Gerald Weissmann taps what he calls “the social network of
Western Civilization,” including the many neglected women of science: from the martyred Hypatia of Alexandria, the
first woman scientist, to the Nobel laureates Marie Curie, Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard, and Elizabeth Blackburn,
among other luminaries in the field. Always instructive and often hilarious, this is a one-volume introduction to modern
biology, viewed through the lens of today’s mass media and the longer historical tradition of the Scientific
Revolution. Whether engaging in the healthcare debate or imagining the future prose styling of the scientific research
paper in the age of Twitter, Weissmann proves to be one of our most incisive cultural critics and satirists.
  
  Gerald Weissmann is director of the Biotechnology Study Center at the New York University School of Medicine and
editor-in-chief of the FASEB Journal. His essays and reviews have appeared in numerous publications worldwide, including
the London Review of Books and New York Times Book Review.
