I am biotechnology professor in Hong Kong teaching Chinese students and writing books for beginners and students myself. So I can truly appreciate Gina Smith' s book. I cannot agree at all with some negative reviews here. The book is a magnificient opus and badly needed, especially for the often ill-informed US readers. I am using the book now for my Introduction to Biotechnology course and let the students read the original.



I would hope it is available soon in German language also for my "blue-eye" obese and unfit countrymen who on one hand use recombinant insulin, antidepressants and novel anti-cancer drugs and reach an ever higher age and lamenting on the other hand against modern bioscientific progress.



Bravo, genius Gina!!
