"A fascinating history. . . . Literate and authoritative. . . . Marvelously exciting." --The New York Times Book Review
"Fascinating. . . . [A] compelling account of the origins of a scientific revolution [and] a poignant sketch of the scientist-as-artist." --Newsday "Weiner shines his formidable science-reporting light indoors. . . . There is no better fly on the wall." --The Philadelphia InquirerThe story of Nobel Prize–winning discoveries regarding the molecular mechanisms controlling the body’s circadian rhythm.
How much of our fate is decided before we are born? Which of our characteristics is inscribed in our DNA? Weiner brings us into Benzer's Fly Rooms at the California Institute of Technology, where Benzer, and his asssociates are in the process of finding answers, often astonishing ones, to these questions. Part biography, part thrilling scientific detective story, Time, Love, Memory forcefully demonstrates how Benzer's studies are changing our world view--and even our lives.
Jonathan Weiner, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for The Beak of the Finch, brings his brilliant reporting skills to the story of Seymour Benzer, the Brooklyn-born maverick scientist whose study of genetics and experiments with fruit fly genes has helped revolutionize or knowledge of the connections between DNA and behavior both animal and human.
