| By: Tevfik Dorak ISBN: 041537734X Publisher: Taylor & Francis Release Date: 13 June, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 151153 | This is a good guide for getting started; I highly recommend it to graduate students or others diving into real time for the first time. It's also nice to have around as a reference when you start something new or need a refresher on data analysis and interpretation. I'm glad I bought it. | |

| By: Paul Rabinow ISBN: 0226701476 Publisher: University Of Chicago Press Release Date: 10 November, 1997 Bioscience book rank: 205970 | Paul Rabinow, professor of anthropology at UC Berkeley, has scrutinized the invention and development of a major biotechnological tool that underlies most present-day gene detection and manipulation. This book tells the story of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on the basis of personal interviews with most of the major players as well as extensive reading of the scientific and autobiographical literature. It is really several books in one: a somewhat cerebral analysis of the ultimate meaning of science in human affairs, a historical account of the emergence of PCR, a description of the issues surrounding the rise of the biotechnology industry, and a trenchant account of the roles individual psychology and personal character play in research, especially in the industrial context. Different readers may wish to concentrate on some of these elements and gloss over the others. It's a rich tapestry of a book and I plan to return to it from time to time as one or another of its themes addresses my current interests. This book belongs on the required reading list of anyone either in or contemplating a career in biotechnology. Ditto for historians of post-WWII science. Very entertaining biographical account of the discovery of PCR, individuals, corporations, money and financial risk in biotech. Highlights the solitary, individual act of scientific discovery and how this can be decoupled from corresponding financial reward (science is not business, business is not science). Paul Rabinow is an anthropologist who studies molecular biologists. He tells the story of the development of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a technique that revolutionized molecular biology. Rabinow succeeds in writing a book about science that is entertaining and informative to scientists and non-scientists alike. This book provides a first-hand examples of an unexpected revolution resulting from an unassuming research project, and the long road from concept to product. See also "French DNA" by Paul Rabinow and "The Golden Helix" by Arthur Kornberg. | |
