Magnotti, Jr. is a PhD clinical chemist, teacher and entrepreneur. His inventions include the first multisource photometric device, the first FDA-approved kit for diagnosis of pesticide exposure and the first rapid test for the milk poison melamine-identified by the WHO as one of the most serious food safety issues in recent memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book begins with an explosive contradiction between rival experimental results, settled by a famous authority. It ends with a more hypothetical contradiction that is left for the reader to decide-the origin of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author's story begins with a small boy's wishful encounter in Japan with a magical wizard. Afterwards he learns many valuable lessons that carry him through the development of the American democratic socialist movement and stints in medical biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and electrochemistry. When he switches to clinical chemistry, his first invention launches a successful startup, eventually leading to scientific management of a leading tech company. A personal renewal begins an ultimately successful resolution of an old curiosity: the origin of life question.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach episode builds knowledge for the next, weaving together the struggles for scientific understanding and moral truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-15603484\"\u003eRalph A.
