Reseña del editor

Biotechnology encompasses the processes and methods used to manipulate living organisms or the substances and products from these organisms for medical, agricultural, and industrial purposes. Barnum not only supplies the big picture of the biotechnology field, but provides in-depth details to illustrate the technology. Traditionally, biotechnology texts have been too narrow in coverage and focused only on the methods used in biotechnology. In contrast, Barnums text extensively covers the topics, with lots of examples and case studies, and discusses the implications in areas such as gene therapy, medicine, agriculture, marine biology, and forensics. Designed to grab the interest of students and make the topics relevant to them, Barnums text is an excellent integration of historical and modern biotechnology topics.

Reseña del editor

Designed for use in introductory biotechnology courses or as a supplement in molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, or microbiology courses, Barnum's text gives readers a broad view of biotechnology, integrating historical and modern biotechnology topics. It then proceeds to describe the processes and methods used to manipulate living organisms or the substances and products from these organisms for medical, agricultural, and industrial purposes. Detail illustrates the technology and how it's applied - including discussions on the implications of biotechnology in such areas as gene therapy, medicine, agriculture, marine biology, and forensics. The author also uses many examples and case studies to explain topics.
