description: This is a paperbound reprint of a 2000 book about which Book News Father David (zoology, U. of Washington-Seattle) and daughter Ilona (medicine, U. of California-San Diego) offer educated but not scientifically sophisticated readers an overview of human biology on three DNA, viruses, and other tiny things; the mid-range of brain, behavior, and biochemistry; and the larger realms of ecology, evolution, and sociobiology. They make a lot of analogies to literature. Unfortunately they include no illustrations. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
