Next, passion needs to be endowed with purpose: a clearly defined vision of the future you intend to create.

The interdependence between plants and animals is portrayed as an unwritten "green" contract.

What makes DNA different from hordes of competitors purporting to help readers understand genetics is that it is written by none other than James Watson, of Watson and Crick fame. He and his co-author Andrew Berry have produced a clear and easygoing history of genetics, from Mendel through genome sequencing. Watson offers readers a sense of immediacy, a behind-the scenes familiarity with some of the most exciting developments in modern science.

Based on the principles of the IQ test, the Compatibility Quotient (CQ), measurable through the test included in this book, offers insight into how well matched lovers, friends, and even prospective partners are to each other. Structured so that test-takers will not know a partners answers, the test evaluates a test-takers conception of what makes a good relationship and what values are most important. Discussions of the development and impact of the test consider how couples can make the most of the similarities and differences discovered in the test and how to use the CQ to improve communication.

Gregg suggests that if we can see time from this perspective, the past reveals the great secret of our moment in history and what we can expect as we approach December 21, 2012!

Fifty years ago "The secret of life" was revealed by two unknown scientists - Dr. James D. Watson and Dr. Francis Crick - with their discovery of the double helix structure of DNA. That scientific breakthrough has been called the single most important discovery of all time. Its current applications - in modern medicine and food production, for example - have already changed the way we live now. Its future potential, specifically the controversial idea of \"genetic enhancement\" in the womb, could radically alter life as we know it. Now, for the first time on television, a groundbreaking five-part PBS series charts the comprehensive history of DNA science - from the discovery of the double helix structure to the mapping of the human genome to the latest research - and examines its current, sometimes controversial applications and implications for the future.
