Dancing Naked in the Mind Field

Here is a multidimensional playland of ideas from the world's most eccentric Nobel-Prize winning scientist. Kary Mullis is legendary for his invention of PCR which redefined the world of DNA genetics and forensic science. He is also a surfer a veteran of Berkeley in the sixties and perhaps the only Nobel laureate to describe a possible encounter with aliens. A scientist of boundless curiosity he refuses to accept any proposition based on secondhand or hearsay evidence and always looks for the money trail when scientists make announcements. <p/>Mullis writes with passion and humor about a wide range of topics: from global warming to the O. J. Simpson trial from poisonous spiders to HIV from scientific method to astrology. <b>Dancing Naked in the Mind Field</b> challenges us to question the authority of scientific dogma even as it reveals the workings of an uncannily original scientific mind.
