Biotechnology: Demystifying the Concepts not only presents key concepts in biotechnology but examines the far-reaching social, ethical and political issues raised by this evolving field. The text begins with basic scientific concepts, then guides students through multi-staged biotechnical applications, and finally explores biotechnology's effects on today's society and on future generations. Abundant examples, based on real life issues, illustrate and clarify topic discussions.
