Abstract
I am generally suspicious of books by venerable scientists who think it is their prerogative to make pronouncements on all sorts of subjects outside their specialties. Although the present book falls into that category, it nonetheless has many redeeming features. François Jacob, a Nobel laureate (in Physiology or Medicine), writes engagingly and provides a sense of excitement about developments in modern biology in terms accessible to anyone with even a minimal biological background. It is to some degree "gee-whiz science," but it is not naive. At only 150 pages of text, this can be an easy evening's read.
