    “Book Descriptions: A HARVARD BIOLOGIST AND MASTER INVENTOR EXPLORES HOW NEW BIOTECHNOLOGIES WILL ENABLE US TO BRING SPECIES BACK FROM THE DEAD, UNLOCK VAST SUPPLIES OF RENEWABLE ENERGY, AND EXTEND HUMAN LIFE.

    In 'REGENESIS', George Church and science writer Ed Regis explore the possibilities of the emerging field of synthetic biology. Synthetic biology, in which living organisms are selectively altered by modifying substantial portions of their genomes, allows for the creation of entirely new species of organisms.

    These technologies - far from the out-of-control nightmare depicted in science fiction - have the power to improve human and animal health, increase our intelligence, enhance our memory, and extend our life span.

    A breathtaking look at the potential of this world-changing technology, 'REGENESIS' is nothing less than a guide to the future of life.
