Reviews
This book will be particularly interesting to the student who not only wishes to know the facts of genetics, but also the very interesting story behind those facts.
---The book's central chapters provide a very engaging account of the main steps taken to reach our present knowledge of the material and the structure of the gene, and should encourage many readers to delve further into the subject of the book.
