The Fragile Species - Tapa dura

In "The Fragile Species", Dr. Thomas raises challenging questions about some of the major issues of our time - AIDS, drug abuse and ageing. He voices his vital concern for the planet Earth, "hanging there in space and obviously alive", and he offers a way to avoid, in a solution rooted in biology, the possible destruction of "so lovely a creature". With perception, Dr Thomas discusses such varied topics as evolutionary biology, the development of language, the therapeutic aspects of medicine and his love for his profession.
