Praise for the first edition: "A concise, readable picture of biology as it is practiced in the field, the laboratory and the classroom. [Janovy] moves easily from philosophy to politics to petri dish... This book will be appreciated by biologists as well as those who want to know how a scientist's mind works." New York Times Book Review "A charming book ... frank, open, and a pleasure to read." Noel Perrin, Civilization
