5.0 out of 5 stars Ahhh, enlightenment., April 20, 1998
This book is a must for molecular biology courses- undergrad and grad alike. It is a beautiful in-depth examination of a model to give us an appreciation for molecular biology at a comfortably sophisticated level. This effective practice of learning generality from particular models is one that, sadly, many professors have gotten away from in our current world of 1200 page textbooks. Ptashne writes with brilliant simplicity without sacrificing nature's complexity.
