Biotechnology: what it is, how it's used, and how you do it!
' … the book is well presented, with clear and instructive diagrams
and useful glossaries for those subject matters that come with
their own specific nomenclature. It will certainly be a good
resource for anybody who wants to study biotechnology or move into
the field from another discipline.' Chemistry in Britain
'The two editors are to be congratulated for providing a very
pertinent and practical textbook … highly recommended as a test for
biotechnology students and it is a good starting point for teachers
and researchers also.' Pak-Lam Yu, Biotechnology Advances
'… a useful reference tool for a comprehensive understanding of the
fundamentals behind the current applications of biotechnology.'
Kakoli Ghosh, Food, Nutrition and Agriculture
'… essential reading for a whole range of people. students and
those involved in biotechnology: those involved in its wider
application and those in public life who have to formulate policy:
protesting types: and, those who lose sleep worrying about the
future, can all benefit from the broad overview.' Peter Spedding,
Chemistry and Industry
