Recensione

"Old agonies are brought vividly to life in Robin Henig's lucid account of genetics' origins. From the quiet of a monastery garden to the turmoil of public debate she gives us a thrilling portrait of the pioneers who started us on the path to cloning and genetic modification. How refreshing to read an account of the real issues rather the popular myths that surround Mendel and his legacy - and to enable us to understand the roots of the science that is going to change our lives in the twenty-first century." -- Simon Mawer, author of MENDEL'S DWARF
