Description

During the past 4 decades, molecular biol. (MB) has dominated the life sciences. This history of the development of this powerful science relates the intellectual history of the most influential discoveries in MB from Echols own experiences. Includes interviews with the principal operators & promoters in the field to convey a captivating side of science -- specifically how the personalities of scientists & their competitive & collaborative relations affect new ideas with discoveries. Reveals how logic & order often arise only in hindsight from the chaos of discovery; eventual solutions often come from experiments performed for entirely different reasons. “Ties together the biol. questions with the scientific solutions of the people who established the field.”
