Klappentext
A thoroughly engrossing memoir that recounts Beckwith's halting steps toward scientific triumphs - among them, the discovery of the genetic element that turns genes on - as well as his emergence as a world-class political activist, "Making Genes, Making Waves" is also a compelling history of the major controversies in genetics over d<"@the last 30 years. Presenting the science in easily understandable terms, Beckwith describes the dramatic changes that transformed biology between the late 1950s and our day, the growth of the radical science movement in the 1970s, and the personalities involved throughout. He brings to light the differing styles of scientists as well as the different ways in which science is presented within the scientific community and to the public at large. Ranging from the travails of Robert Oppenheimer and the atomic bomb to the Human Genome Project and recent "Science Wars", Beckwith's book provides a sweeping view of science and its social context in the latter half of the 20th century.
