That achievement was evidently just a warm-up for his virtuoso performance in \u003ci\u003eThe Gene: An Intimate History\u003c\/i\u003e, in which he braids science, history, and memoir into an epic with all the range and biblical thunder of \u003ci\u003eParadise Lost\u003c\/i\u003e\" (\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e). In this biography Mukherjee brings to life the quest to understand human heredity and its surprising influence on our lives, personalities, identities, fates, and choices. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Mukherjee expresses abstract intellectual ideas through emotional stories... and] swaddles his medical rigor with rhapsodic tenderness, surprising vulnerability, and occasional flashes of pure poetry\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e). Throughout, the story of Mukherjee's own family--with its tragic and bewildering history of mental illness--reminds us of the questions that hang over our ability to translate the science of genetics from the laboratory to the real world. In riveting and dramatic prose, he describes the centuries of research and experimentation--from Aristotle and Pythagoras to Mendel and Darwin, from Boveri and Morgan to Crick, Watson and Franklin, all the way through the revolutionary twenty-first century innovators who mapped the human genome. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A fascinating and often sobering history of how humans came to understand the roles of genes in making us who we are--and what our manipulation of those genes might mean for our future\" (\u003ci\u003eMilwaukee Journal-Sentinel\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003eThe Gene\u003c\/i\u003e is the revelatory and magisterial history of a scientific idea coming to life, the most crucial science of our time, intimately explained by a master. \"\u003ci\u003eThe Gene\u003c\/i\u003e is a book we all should read\" (\u003ci\u003eUSA TODAY\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSiddhartha Mukherjee is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Gene: An Intimate History, \u003c\/i\u003ea #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestseller; \u003ci\u003eThe Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize in general nonfiction; and \u003ci\u003eThe Laws of Medicine\u003c\/i\u003e.
