In The Biological Time Bomb Taylor heralded the advent of artificial insemination, organ transplants, as well as research into memory and controlling moods.
From the first paragraph I was hooked! Taylor writes with such wit and authority about the vital subject of how humans affect the planet, covering with his literary umbrella a plethora of subjects that include us all. I've re-visited the book at various time over the decades, and it continues to make socio-cultural sense. It's diverting to play the "did he get his predictions right" game - but that's really not the point. If you're at all interested in the bigger picture of your life, I urge you to read this remarkable book now!
The author writes with immense authority and the book helps us realize how far science has gone in altering and discovering what was recently thought of as impossible in the world of Biology.
