Seed of Eternal Blossom: DNA: Past, Present and Future

By Mohamed M Haq MD

Human societies have intuitively recognized, from the earliest of times, the continuity of life. Cats give birth to kittens and humans to cute little babies. It was also evident that physical and emotional traits carried over from one generation to the next. However for most of our history we had been clueless as to the mechanisms involved.The SEED OF ETERNAL BLOSSOM: DNA PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE, traces the evolution of our concepts of life as a fetus from the time of the Egyptian Pharaohs to present day knowledge of genes and DNA. It offers a narrative which takes the reader through the rise of Greek civilization to the Roman Empire, followed by a long period of dark ages, dominated by myth and mythology, to the advent of the Renaissance and right up to modern times.The SEED OF ETERNAL BLOSSOM is the saga of giants standing on the shoulders of giants to unravel the enigma of nature. Competition and rivalry, along with grace, magnanimity and cooperation, are a part of this fascinating march of science.The stories of the scientists as they probe the secrets of nature are as interesting as the fiction and mythology of Harry Potter. It becomes more fascinating as techniques are developed to manipulate the molecule of life to alter nature in ways beyond imagination.The book is unique among the books on this topic. It is relatively brief, and in simple English, easy to read quickly in one or two sessions, without any background in biological sciences. Even though concise, it covers all aspects of DNA from antiquity to the unfathomable possibilities looking into the future. It is structured in a series of chapters, which are interesting as independent stories. As the field has been exploding with new breakthroughs recently, this work is up to date, compared to books published even 2 years back.
