What he discovered is a revolution under way--an explosion of new ideas about what cancer really is and where it comes from. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDeftly excavating and illuminating decades of investigation and analysis, rooted in every discipline from evolutionary biology to game theory and physics, Johnson explores what we know--and what we still don't--about cancer, and why a cure remains such a slippery goal.
