Overview

The ongoing revolution in genetic research and cell biology promises to change the way we look at life itself. Over the last decade hysterical predictions of genetic accidents and of misdirected genetic engineering and wild speculation in the "booming" biotechnology market have continued to make dramatic headlines. Avoiding the sensationalism that has surrounded this new field, Dr. Zimmerman draws on his long experience in the laboratory, in legislative committees, and in international biotechnology to provide a balanced perspective on the startling developments that are only now beginning.
