Foresight: How the Chemistry of Life Reveals Planning and Purpose

_{Featuring Brazilian Chemist Dr. Marcos Eberlin}

In his extraordinary new book, Foresight: How the Chemistry of Life Reveals Planning and Purpose, renowned Brazilian chemist Marcos Eberlin explores a gold rush of recent scientific discoveries that pose a grave challenge to modern evolutionary theory. Drawing on his expertise as former president of the International Mass Spectrometry Foundation, Dr. Eberlin uncovers a myriad of artful solutions to major engineering challenges in the biological realm, solutions that point beyond blind evolution to the workings of an attribute unique to minds — foresight.

Foresight has just released on Amazon.com, and this event provides a first-chance opportunity to hear the book’s message from Dr. Eberlin himself and to purchase the book at a steep discount.
