  Biotechnology is a field that has revolutionized many aspects of science, health, agriculture, and industry. Defined broadly, it is the use of living organisms or their components to develop or create new products. Biotechnology combines elements from various scientific disciplines, including biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering, to harness biological systems and organisms in ways that can benefit society. The origins of biotechnology can be traced back thousands of years, though its modern applications are far more advanced, opening up new possibilities that were once beyond imagination. 
  The history of biotechnology begins with early humans’ use of fermentation in food production. Ancient civilizations used microbial fermentation to produce alcoholic beverages, bread, and other food products. While these early practices were largely based on trial and error, they laid the groundwork for what would later become a scientifically rigorous and highly specialized field. Over time, as our understanding of biology and genetics advanced, biotechnology expanded beyond simple fermentation. The discovery of DNA, the identification of genes, and the subsequent development of genetic engineering techniques paved the way for biotechnology to play a central role in fields such as medicine, agriculture, and environmental conservation. 
  One of the key milestones in the development of biotechnology was the invention of recombinant DNA technology in the 1970s. This groundbreaking innovation enabled scientists to manipulate genetic material in organisms and create genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The ability to transfer genes between species brought new possibilities for improving crops, developing vaccines, and producing medicines. The first genetically engineered human insulin, for example, revolutionized the treatment of diabetes and marked a significant leap in biotechnological advancement.

  Award-winning journalist Bill Weir confronts the biggest threats to life as we know it and explores ideas for building a more promising future. 
   
  Bill Weir has spent decades telling the stories of unique people, places, cultures, and creatures on the brink of change. As the first Chief Climate Correspondent in network news, he is immersed in the latest scientific warnings and breakthroughs while often on the frontlines of disasters, natural and manmade. 
   
  After the birth of his son in April 2020, Bill began distilling these experiences into a series of Earth Day letters to his boy, weaving together worry and wonder into a poignant reminder that a better future can still be written. Life as We Know It (Can Be) digs into fascinating corners of history, psychology, technology, and Bill’s own biography to connect the lessons he’s collected from the happiest, healthiest, and most resilient societies. From the sun-powered town that kept its lights on in a hurricane to the Antarctic nests of the one penguin species thriving amid climate change, Bill takes readers around the world to collect dozens of practical ideas to help build a more resilient future.  
   
  Life as We Know It (Can Be) is a celebration of the wonders of our planet, a meditation on the human wants and needs that drive it out of balance, and an inspiration for communities to galvanize around nature and each other as the very best way to brace for what’s next. 
   
  “There is no other correspondent like Bill Weir, and there’s certainly no other book like this one. It’s moving, funny, frank, well-researched, beautifully written, and looks at climate change in a way I’ve never seen before.”—Anderson Cooper, CNN anchor, 60 Minutes correspondent, and New York Times–bestselling author
