Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Looks at 2 of the greatest scientific projects of the last 20 years: the Human Genome Project and the advances made in brain imaging. But Le Fanu also acknowledges the limitations of science, and points out that we are still mysteries to ourselves, and that a monotonous gene sequence can't explain the beauty and diversity of the living world.

Publisher's description:

The imperative to 'know thyself' is both fundamental and profoundly elusive -- for how can we ever truly comprehend the drama and complexity of the human experience?
