Fascinating and comprehensive...Not many books describe how science is actually done. James Watson's The Double Helix was one, and this book is another...Non-scientists will not only learn a lot of biology, but they will also get a good idea of what makes scientists tick.

[Second Creation] sets the record straight on the history and impetus behind cloning research, relates the scientific journey to the creation of Dolly and provides an insider's view of the cutting edge of biotechnology. But the core of the book is its final section, 'The Age of Biological Control.' Here Wilmut squarely confronts the dilemmas of an era in which, inevitably, we will achieve nearly total control over the creation and development of any and all biological organisms, including humans.
