| Summary |
"A fascinating look at how our emotional needs are bending the reaches of science and technology, as well as a study of this uncharted territory. With our pet obsession climbing to new heights and our scientific abilities even more so, this combination raises a serious concern: are we crossing the boundary of controlling science in the name of science, in the name of love, in the name of merchandising--or a blend or all three?"--Dust jacket. |
