From New York Times bestselling author Sam
Kean comes more incredible stories of science, history, language,
and music, as told by our own DNA.
In The Disappearing Spoon, bestselling author Sam Kean
unlocked the mysteries of the periodic table. In THE VIOLINIST''S
THUMB, he explores the wonders of the magical building block of
life: DNA.
There are genes to explain crazy cat ladies, why other people have
no fingerprints, and why some people survive nuclear bombs. Genes
illuminate everything from JFK''s bronze skin it wasn''t a tan to
Einstein''s genius. They prove that Neanderthals and humans bred
thousands of years more recently than any of us would feel
comfortable thinking. They can even allow some people, because of
the exceptional flexibility of their thumbs and fingers, to become
truly singular violinists.
Kean''s vibrant storytelling once again makes science entertaining,
explaining human history and whimsy while showing how DNA will
influence our species'' future.
