Recenzii
""There has been nothing like this: a strong yet accessible review of the science and genetics of sports wrapped in personal stories. It will cause readers of all stripes to question their assumptions about just what it takes to become an elite athlete." "
"--STEPHEN M. ROTH, exercise physiologist and director of the Functional Genomics Lab, University of Maryland"
""Truly a groundbreaking work, contemporary sports journalism at its best. After reading Epstein's superb book--by turns a travelogue, highly readable primer on sports science, and string of ""who knew? ""anecdotes--you will never watch sports the same way again." "

""Step by surprising step, David Epstein takes our hand, grips our mind, and leads us deeper and deeper into the fascinating jungle of sports and genetics . . . until we finally begin to ""see ""the miracle we've been watching in our stadiums and on our TV screens all our lives." "

"I can't remember a book that has fascinated, educated--and provoked--me as much as "The Sports Gene." Epstein has changed forever the way we measure elite athletes and their achievements."
--Malcom Gladwell
"Clear, vivid, and thought-provoking writing that cuts through science anxiety for rank-and-file sports fans."

--Michael Shermer, "The Wall Street Journal"
"This is the book I've been waiting for since the early 1960s. I can't imagine that anyone interested in sports--particularly the fascinating question, 'How do the best athletes become the best?'--will be any less enthralled than I."
--Amby Burfoot, (1968 Boston Marathon Champion), "Runner's World"
