Summary: Enthralling book
Comment: I had a hard time keeping the book down till I finished it.
It is written on the same lines as Scientific American,
New Scientist, and Nature (from which it draws heavily).

Recommended for anyone who wants to find out what protien
folding/nano tech, is all about. The next book to folow up
would be Nature's Robots.

Summary: Another great science read from Philip Ball
Comment: Ball does a great job of leading the reader from a non science background into the scientific with easy use of lyric and literature. The illustrations help to make the biochemistry vivid, and easy to understand. Ball's prose is clear and informative, while avoiding the dry lecturing tone of many text books. Toss the text and read this.

Summary: too dry
Comment: Most readers with an interest in
science will be familiar with the
ground covered here. Unfortunately
the style tends to be too often dry
and flat - almost like a textbook.
