Living up to his reputation as our premier science and health "myth buster", Michael Fumento sorts out science from nonsense in this fascinating look at the amazing new age of biotechnology we are now entering. "Bioevolution" is science fact that reads like science fiction because of the wonders it describes. Most of the dramatic, life-changing advances it discusses are already far along the research pipeline and will come to fruition in ten years, five years, or less.

• Biotech has demonstrated the potential to cure almost any disease. Miracle drugs and treatments now under investigation will eliminate diabetes, AIDS, Alzheimer's - and end the days of cancer as a death sentence.
• Biotech will dramatically increase both the length and the quality of life. Research on human issue and animals indicates that lifespan increases of 30 percent or far more can be achieved by those of us already in adulthood.
• Biotech will make fields more fertile, yielding crops that are hardier, more abundant, tastier and more nutritious. Plant diseases will be wiped out. Malnutrition will disappear as food is produced on less land, in colder climates, with less water and fewer chemicals.
• Biotech will restore the environment naturally by cleaning up toxic and even nuclear waste sites.

Reporting from ground zero of laboratory experimentation and clinical trials, Michael Fumento shows that the biotech future is now.
