Praise for The Life Project

An elegant mix of science and human drama, The Life Project was - by a considerable measure in my view - the best science book published this year

Robin McKie, Best Science Books of 2016, Observer

Eye-opening book, extraordinary insights into ordinary lives ... Part scientific narrative and part postwar social history, along with some fantastically cut-throat academic politics ... A very British success story

Isabel Berwick, Financial Times

Fascinating, shocking, heartening ... The greatest scientific experiment in modern British history
