Book Description

3527301003 978-3527301003 May 29, 2001 2
The most up-to-date and comprehensive collection of all terms of this essential field of modern life sciences!

With more than 6000 technical terms, this dictionary reflects the importance of gene technology for present-day biology. Extensive explanations and illustrations accompany the terms, providing admirably clear access to the complexities of this vital discipline. Moreover, the book elucidates the jungle of synonyms, acronyms and swamps of jargon that have frustrated many a researcher.

The multitude of cross-references enables non-specialists and experts alike to understand links to related sciences such as genetics, biotechnology, microbiology and biochemistry. Students, researchers, officials and journalists will soon find it difficult to imagine tackling gene technology without the assistance of this user-friendly dictionary.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"...this book should be available within hand's reach for everyone who is enthusiastically involved with molecular biology and gene technology" - Angewandte Chemie

"...This book is much more than what its concise title implies - it is more than a mere dictionary, in the sense of a collection of terms and acronyms, but rather a self-sufficient research tool, an illuminating read, and in fact an entire encyclopedia for the post-genomic era" -Trends in Molecular Medicine

"...This precious piece cannot be missed in any library or laboratory, nor on any desk!" - BioTech

Review

"Physically the book is beautifully presented on high quality paper and one aspect that I particulary like is the plethora of illustrations. ... this book would make a useful addition to any academic library."
--Robert Harris, School of Biosciences, University of Birmingham, ISSX newsletter, Winter 2004/Spring 2005 edition, Vol. 24, Issue 4/Vol. 25, Issue 1 --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.
