Edition: Paperback; 2002-12-12
Summary:
In this timely and controversial work, Sue Hubbell contends that the
concept of genetic engineering is anything but new, for humans have
been tinkering with genetics for centuries. Focusing on four specific
examples — corn, silkworms, domestic cats, and apples —
she traces the histories of species that have been fundamentally
altered over the centuries by the whims and needs of people.
