520    Regenesis tells of recent advances that may soon yield 
       endless supplies of renewable energy, increased longevity 
       and the return of long-extinct species. 
520    Imagine a future in which we engineer resistance to all 
       viruses, reverse aging, resurrect extinct DNA from the 
       woolly mammoth, use molecular computers, and program 
       bacteria to produce diverse plastics and chemicals. These 
       scenarios may seem far-fetched, but pioneering geneticist 
       George Church and science writer Ed Regis show that 
       synthetic biology is bringing us ever closer to making 
       such visions a reality. In Regenesis, Church and Regis 
       explore the possibilities--and perils--of synthetic 
       biology, a field that has the power to improve our health,
       increase our intelligence, enhance our memory, and even 
       extend our life span. Now with a new afterword by Church, 
       Regenesis offers a breathtaking look at the potential of 
       this world-changing technology.--Publisher description.
