"This fascinating, lucid and angry book by the sociologist Hilary Rose and the neurobiologist Steven Rose (they are married) boasts abundant targets and a lethally impressive hit ratio." - Steven Poole, Guardian "On my must-read list!" - Margaret Atwood "Genes, Cells and Brains is an angry book. It is also an important one...contains wonderful descriptions of the science behind the new biology." - Time Literary Supplement "Clear and engaging... a testament to the power of the Roses' writing and their perceptive understanding of the relation between science and society." - Lancet "A scathing account of the failure of recent projects in biology to provide significant new knowledge...the Roses provide thought-provoking and interesting contrasts to the secular, neoliberal view that predominates at present." - Nature
