Synopsis
Let's face it: from adenines to zygotes, from cytokinesis to parthenogenesis, even the basics of genetics can sound utterly alien. Consequently, who better than an alien to explain it all? Enter Bloort 183, an asexual scientist on a dying planet charged with researching the fundamentals of human DNA and evolution and boiling it all down into clear, simple language so that even his slow-to-grasp-the-point leader can get it. In the hands of multiple-award winning graphic novel author Mark Schultz, Bloort's predicament becomes the means of giving even the most science-phobic reader a complete introduction to the history and science of genetics. Ninety percent of "The Stuff of Life" is the basic information of genetics and DNA, with Schultz's aliens stepping in only at those points where the reader will welcome someone saying, 'Hold up a moment; could you go over that last part again?' In conjunction with the absolutely stunning illustrations of the award winning comic artists Zander Cannon and Kevin Cannon, the complex is made clear and even the most alien concept behind the genetic basis of human evolution is rendered understandable. Complete with a glossary and suggested reading, "The Stuff of Life" is the high-school-level introduction to the most basic facts of genetics, evolution, and life as we know it for anyone and everyone.
