Molecular biology textbooks have a reputation for inducing a coma by the
second page. But David Clark and Lonnie Russell show that with a bit of humour
and a lively writing style, this needn’t always be the case. Primarily aimed at
students, Molecular Biology Made Simple and Fun will also appeal to anyone
interested in the nitty-gritty of the genetic revolution. Published by Cache
River Press, $34.95, ISBN 0 9627422 9 5.
