Molecular Biology … Made Simple and Fun
An excellent book for those who would like to learn more on the science appropriate to this thread, makes learning and extremely complex subject interesting and accessible o laymen.
It’s been many years since I’ve schooling of any sort, I started getting interested in Molecular Biology when I was researching some bio-tech stocks. I ordered a copy of this book Molecular Biology…Made Simple and Fun
it is a fascinating book that lives up to it’s title,lots of diagrams and fun facts that made learning the subject a lot easier than most of the textbooks I looked at. An excellent book for the layman, taken through college level material. It is strictly a scientific text , but presented in an interesting manner. I found this little anecdote in it.
‘The Napoleonic Wars provided a fascinating example of eugenics by ignorance.Napoleon deliberately recruited tall men into the French Imperial Army [The Guards Regiments]. …..The combined result of constantly selecting tall men and subjecting them to massive casualties was that the average height of the French nation decreased significantly in this period.”
I heartily recommend this book if you’re anything like me (not up on the subject) and would like to learn more in a fun and relatively painless manner.
