4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, incredible geneticist, May 27, 2002
This review is from: The Tangled Field : Barbara McClintock's Search for the Patterns of Genetic Control (Hardcover)
After just barely discussing Dr. McClintock's work in my genetics class, I just had to know more. This book is very insightful, and it discusses her work thoroughly. Her use of corn plants in the discovery of jumping genes (transposable elements). Truly an interesting topic and an incredible geneticist who's discovery has no doubt changed all of genetic research. This book gets a bit more in to detail than people may want for just background information. It includes some diagrams of her work, etc. A great book in all that I will add to my library.
