** Review **
"George Klein, a Hungarian Swedish Jewish atheist cancer pioneer .
. . writes on Wagner and sex, being caught on a Cuban airliner
forced to land in fascist Portugal, Sweden's puritanical
pornography, and how old viruses get on well with people... His
anecdotes rank with the best. . . Klein is a first class teacher.
You learn science the intelligent way. No gimmicks, just
simplicity and clarity. Klein adores life with a spiritual
fervour. Add to that a streak of wry worldiness and you have an
original thinker, a rational romantic whose work will disappoint
cynics, frustrate clerics and bring a warm glow to the hearts of
agnostics."--Daniel Green, Financial Times
