Sex , Drugs and DNA: Science's taboos confronted by Michael StebbinsMichael Stebbins entertains while he educates and that's a winning combination.I highly recommend this book. Mr. Stebbins was able to cover the most contentious scientific topics of our time in an edgy, irreverent tone that is so overdue. The book is well written, well researched, and most importantly entertaining and all done in a way that even non-scientists can enjoy.I always enjoy a book that takes you through a journey of knowledge. I'm an engineer by profession and even I wasn't aware of "the life of a scientist." But that was just the beginning...the author jumps from one topic to the next with ease and provides valuable information: stem cells, sex, genetics, race, global warming, bioterrorism, drugs, healthcare, evolution, politics, and science education. And every topic is covered thoroughly, backed with supporting data and with a fervor that's contagious.If you are an educator, a politician, a scientist or just care about the truth, you need to get this book and read it.
