In the life sciences, scientists discovered the function of DNA and began to uncover the process by which genetic traits are passed on. Powerful new drugs conquered formerly lethal diseases. The physical sciences were rocked, first by the discovery of radioactivity and X-rays, and later by the development of the atom bomb. This volume, illustrated with vivid photographs, outlines the scientific breakthroughs of this period that gave humans tremendous power?and a tremendous responsibility.
