"It's thanks to Venter, aggressive and hard-nosed as he is, that the world can read the score of the human symphony." - Time (Person of the Year 2000). "[Venter is] not just trying to understand how life works; he's trying to make it work for him, and for us." - The Atlantic. "Venter alone is taking the measure of life's true diversity and dreaming up new life-forms at the same time." - Wired. "Of all the extraordinary scientific achievements of the past century, perhaps none can match the deciphering of the human genetic code, both for it's technical brilliance and for its implications for our future. It has charted a landscape in which we will discover the most intricate workings of our species, the particularites of our own individual genetic makeup, and the promise of novel approaches to health and medicine that will make a new stage in human development, one in which inherited biology is no longer necessarily destiny. A Life Decoded is the story of this singular milestone in our history, told by the man who through a combination of vision, tenacity, ingenuity, and insight challenged conventional wisdom and refuted his critics to reveal the human genetic code.But reading the human genome is only the beginning of a revolution in our relationship with the world. Craig Venter has built on that foundation, as he explains in the closing pages of A Life Decoded, to investigate the genomes of the atmosphere and the oceans, to transplant genetic material from one organism into another, and to create synthetic life - all projects with the potential to address the most urgent problems of the twenty-first century. That, finally, is the purest goal of science and lies at the heart of this inspiring and remarkable book.".

Summary : The story of the man who achieved one of the greatest feats of our era--the mapping of the human genome. After nearly flunking out of high school, Venter went to Vietnam, where the life and death struggles he encountered as a medic piqued his interest in science and medicine. In 1984 he joined the National Institutes of Health, introduced novel techniques for rapid gene discovery, and left in 1991 to form his own nonprofit genomics research center, where he sequenced the first genome in history in 1995. In 1998 he announced that he would successfully sequence the human genome years sooner, and for far less money, than the government-sponsored Human Genome Project would--a prediction he kept in 2001. The tale involves as much politics (personal and political) as science. He also describes the other startling projects he has conducted since.--From publisher description.
