Product Description
From Library Journal
To most nonscientifically oriented readers, molecular biology is a jumble of jargon concerning DNA, gene transcription, and messenger RNA. Dulbecco, a Nobel laureate in physiology, has written a clear, detailed, yet nontechnical exposition of biology at the molecular level. He also relates micro- and sub-micro biological processes to the development of the whole organism. He concludes with excellent chapters on the machinery and design of the brain and an epilogue on lifewhat it is and how it began. Highly recommended for most libraries, although the general reader will need a grounding in high school biology. Eleanor Maass, Maass Assocs., New Milford, Pa.

Book Description
Nobel laureate Renato Dulbecco presents a fascinating overview of the current state of information about life processes, ranging from the characteristics and activities of DNA to sexuality, practical aspects of genetics, communication between cells and between organisms, and the effects of drugs on the brain. He concludes with a provocative discussion of biology and human affairs in which he poses questions about brain programming and its relationship to accountability, freedom of choice, and the future. Dr. Dulbecco's book will be of interest to general readers as well as to specialists in the field.

A Serious Introduction to Genes,
By
This review is from: The Design of Life (Paperback)
I was looking for a good introductory type book into Genes and Biotech and I think I found one. This book starts from Cell and explanis DNA RNA all that good stuff with nice tecnical drawings showing the growth, partitions, mutations etc. It is written for educational purposes so it is not popular science type that all in words, it is serious but you do not have to be a med student to understand this. A good bilogy background and serious reading will do.Book continues with other subjects related to genes and DNA. I particularly liked the sections about Brain, the machinery and the design of it. it is a perfect book about DNA and Genes and life.
