What is The Century Of The Gene about?

In a book that promises to change the way we think and talk about genes and genetic determinism, Evelyn Fox Keller, one of our most gifted historians and philosphers of science, provides a powerful, profound analysis of the achievements of genetics and molecular biology in the 20th century, the century of the gene. Not just a chronicle of biology's progress from gene to genome in 100 years, "The Century of the Gene" also calls attention to the surprising ways these advances challenge the familiar picture of the gene most of us still entertain "Evelyn Fox Keller provides an analysis of the achievements to genetics and molecular biology in the twentieth century, the century of the gene.
