Finding cures to genetic diseases requires a deep understanding of the mechanics of single molecules. This book explains how the chemistry and physics of organic molecules drive processes within cells and permit the construction of amazingly complex plants and animals. It shows how and why scientists study biological molecules.

The theory of evolution can be observed anywhere - from exotic tropical rain forests to our own backyards - and is based on three main principles: heredity, variation, and selection. This book demonstrates why the theory was necessary, shows how it has been received by society, and explains the central role that it plays in science.

Scientists are learning to manipulate the genes of plants and animals, changing existing organisms and creating new ones. By taking control of the mechanisms that govern heredity in other species, humans are actively directing their own evolution. Breakthroughs have come so quickly that many people find them strange and frightening. "Genetic Engineering" traces the history of genetic science up to the present day and proposes some thoughts about how it is likely to affect the future.
