Overall very good.,

This review is from: DNA Pioneers and Their Legacy (Hardcover)
I used this book in my Genetics course for a book report for the fall '99 semester. Interestingly, the vast majority of my students found it enjoyable as they could relate to many of the scientists as "human". The females in the class felt the shortcoming of the book was that Mr. Lagerkvist did not address the female influence in the DNA race. They noted that only two women were mentioned, Martha Chase and Rosalind Franklin. In the index, Martha Chase is listed as Margaret Chase. Many felt Rosalind Franklin was belittled in the author's account of the situation. The largest oversight (and I wholeheartedly agree with them) was that Barbara McClintock and Harriet Creighton were not even mentioned. Again, the overall was an enjoyable book, perhaps somewhat biased.
