The Eighth Day of Creation: Makers of the Revolution in Biology / Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Unavailable in the U.S. for many years, Horace Judson's remarkable lay history of molecular biology is now published in a new, expanded edition. The author has added new material on some of the principal figures involved, particularly Rosalind Franklin. Also included are a new Forward and an Afterword which sketches the further development of molecular biology into the era of recombinant DNA. No one active in current molecular genetics can fail to be informed and entertained by this extraordinary account of how it all began. Also highly recommended for students and interested lay people.

Book News Annotation:

A revised and expanded edition of Judson's 1978 history of the human and scientific origins of molecular biology, with new material on some of the principal figures involved, including Rosalind Franklin and Erwin Chargaff. Also includes a preface by Sir John Maddox, a new foreword, and an epilogue sketching the further development of molecular biology into the era of recombinant DNA.
