Résumé

Genetic engineering. These are familiar terms to most educated individuals. However, the specifics of how and why genes work has traditionally been the exclusive domain of scientists and researchers. In this book, Walter E. Hill aims to educate the nonscience reader about genes and genetic engineering. Hill presents the basics of genetic engineering in jargon-free language accessible to everyone. Beginning with the building blocks of DNA and moving through gene manipulation and ethical considerations, Hill introduces the reader to all facets of genetic engineering. This book will provide the reader with the background necessary to understand the wealth of information on genetic engineering that is currently flooding the popular press.
