Features: The life sciences have attracted widespread social attention not only because they will be the pillar industry and foundation of the biotechnology sector in the 21st century, but more importantly, because their research subjects are life itself, which concerns every individual and every family. A country's scientific level is not determined solely by the quality of its scientific research, but more importantly by the extent to which the general public understands, accepts, and supports science. This task should be undertaken by scientists, sociologists, and especially the media. Mr. Xu Xiong's book is a comprehensive collection of scientific knowledge that is close to the public and easily accepted. From the perspective of a journalist, the book provides readers with insights into the human life sciences, including information, background, trends, advancements, predictions, theories, practices, and debates among differing opinions.
