E-Book Overview
"The book ...is, in fact, a short text on the many practical problems ...associated with translating the explosion in basic biotechnological research into the next Green Revolution," explains "Economic Botany". The book is "a concise and accurate narrative, that also manages to be interesting and personal ...a splendid little book." Biotechnology states, "Because of the clarity with which it is written, this thin volume makes a major contribution to improving public understanding of genetic engineering's potential for enlarging the world's food supply ...and can be profitably read by practically anyone interested in application of molecular biology to improvement of productivity in agriculture."
