520    Growing up in California, J. Craig Venter didn't appear to
       have much of a future. An unremarkable student, he nearly 
       flunked out of high school. After being drafted into the 
       army, he enlisted in the navy and went to Vietnam, where 
       the life-and-death struggles he encountered as a medic 
       piqued his interest in science and medicine. After 
       pursuing his advanced degrees, Venter quickly established 
       himself as a brilliant and outspoken scientist. In 1984, 
       he joined the National Institutes of Health, where he 
       introduced novel techniques for rapid gene discovery, and 
       left in 1991 to form his own nonprofit genomics research 
       center, where he sequenced the first genome in history in 
       1995. In 1998, he announced that he would successfully 
       sequence the human genome years earlier and for far less 
       money than the government-sponsored Human Genome Project 
       would-a prediction that came to pass in 2001.A Life 
       Decoded is the triumphant story of one of the most 
       fascinating and controversial figures in science today. In
       this riveting and inspiring account, Venter tells of the 
       unparalleled drama of the quest for the human genome, a 
       tale that involves as much politics as science. He also 
       reveals how he went on to be the first to read and 
       interpret his own genome and what it will mean for all of 
       us to do the same. He describes his recent sailing 
       expedition to sequence microbial life in the ocean, as 
       well as his groundbreaking attempt to create synthetic 
       life. Here is one of the key scientific chronicles of our 
       lifetime, as told by the man who beat the odds to make it 
       happen.
