Editorial Reviews
Review
"No matter what kind of a scientist you are, or even if you are just an interested layman, I suggest you have this book on your bedside table and read a few pages every day before sleeping. It is pleasant reading, beautifully illustrated and provides excellent cultural material which no one should ignore." -- Jacques Dubochet, EMBO Reports
"Many titles on biomedicine are inaccessible to lay audiences; not so this book, which focuses on explanations which are easy to understand, yet with plenty of scientific detail added for those involved in health care. Highly recommended." -- Reviewer's Bookwatch
"This book offers an enticing introduction to recent biomedical research." -- Victoria A. Harden, Quarterly Review of Biology
"A vivid example of how biology, history, and medicine interact to focus on human welfare." -- José Vázquez, American Biology Teacher
Review
"Written for a general audience, Exploring the Biomedical Revolution personalizes science in a charming and friendly way. This book is beautifully illustrated, and it is filled with direct quotes and photographs that illustrate the hopes and accomplishments of many young scientists across America. It brings clear explanations from the frontlines of many exciting advances that promise to improve our health. And it proves that lives filled with dreams, challenge, and adventure are still accessible to all those in our society who want to become scientists." -- Bruce Alberts, President, National Academy of Sciences
"Good science writing plainly demands lucidity and accuracy. But by my reading, the contributors to this book hold out for a higher standard. Science writing, their work attests, must be infused with feeling, too -- with the thrill of discovery, with reverence for nature's beauty and complexity, with hope for the human good that unraveling its secrets confers." -- Philip Leder, M.D., Harvard Medical School
"Elegant is the only word I can think of to describe this book. It is elegant science, elegant science writing, and elegant book design. We have come to expect nothing less from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute." -- Victor A. McKusick, M.D., University Professor of Medical Genetics, Johns Hopkins University
