Summary: Simple yet complete
Comment: Having work in a genetics laboratory for some time, I wanted to have a more in-depth understanding of the principles of my work. Although the coverage of the book was not as deep as I expected, I believe it is an excellent introductory textbook to the basic principles underlying genetic engineering.
Even though the pictures and graphs are not as good as in other textbooks and that a CD-Rom with animations is not provided, the plain-English explanation allows students gain a good insight on the techniques used in genetic engineering. The book does not even expect the reader to know anything about science and builds more complex concepts from there. For example, an explanation of different types of bonds is provided.
I must congratulate the author of this book for covering many of the techniques I used in the laboratory in a nutshell. I must also congratulate you if you get ahold of the book since you will learn from one of the most straighforward books available.

Summary: Genetic Engineering in plain english
Comment: I can't begin to tell you how useful this book is. As I'm doing research in several university libraries, I found books that were complexed and difficult to understand. This book however, puts genetic engineering into such a simple language that even a fifth grader could understand it. This is the perfect book for a beginner.
