THE TREE OF LIFE, planned and edited by Ruth Nanda Anshen, philosopher, is committed to the advancement of nascent ideas. It is a program to present books in the various experiences of the heart and mind by some of the world's most deeply concerned thinkers. these books attempt to point to the new threshold of consciousness. They show that towards the end of an historical period, when thought and custom have petrified into rigidity, and when the elaborate machinery of civilization opposes and represses man's more noble qualities, life stirs again beneath the hard surface. This series aims to present solid analysis of the critical issues of our time in all cultures and to describe the phenomena as well as to prescribe the values of life in all its plenitude and manifordness whether human, animal, plant or galaxies since a common bond links all organic and inorganic matter. Modern humankind may thus find its legitimate place in the cosmic scheme. For faith in the dynamic energy of all life processes creates its won verification in the unitary structure of all reality. VOICES IN THE LABYRINTH is a critique of science and its effect on humanity. Written by an insider who has spent his entire life in science, the book considers, in generally understandable language and without the use of scientific jargon, some of the existential problems posed by the enormous growth of science in our time. Free forms of discussion and dialogue -- pathos, polemics, irony, and humor--are employed to give the reader a vivid impression of questions that have not been raised before.

Erwin Chargaff

Seabury Press

<p>Erwin Chargaff (11 August 1905 - 20 June 2002) was an Austro-Hungarian biochemist that immigrated to the United States during the Nazi era and was a professor of biochemistry at Columbia University medical school. Through careful experimentation, Chargaff discovered two rules that helped lead to the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA. The first rule was that in DNA the number of guanine units is equal to the number of cytosine units, and the number of adenine units is equal to the number of thymine units. This hinted at the base pair makeup of DNA. The second rule was that the relative amounts of guanine, cytosine, adenine and thymine bases vary from one species to another. This hinted that DNA rather than protein could be the genetic material</p>
