The Engineer in the Garden

This book is an interesting look at genetics, heredity and our understanding of these sciences and what they mean, or should mean, to our planet and our daily lives. The author gives a very clear history of genetic theory, cloning and the Human Genome Project. This book should be read by anyone who needs better knowledge of this topic, which is just about all of us.
