Apparently, I found this in Amazon,com's database (I might be
boycotting them, but it doesn't keep me from using their pages):
_Living Soul_ by P.C. Jersild, Rika Lesser (Translator)
Our Price: $19.95
Paperback
Dufour Editions; ISBN: 1870041097
Jersild is not transhumanist by any stretch, but biomedically
educated. He was originally a doctor before becoming full-time writer,
and this reflects in some of his books. I expect to meet him this
friday at a seminar on evolutionary medicine, might give me the chance
to thank him for the book.
