Review
...intelligently provocative' - New Scientist 'For "intelligent" read literate. Do not confuse this book with DNA for Dummies... Science made clear, not simple... Hugely enjoyable' - Tim Radford, Guardian 'Charming... as informative as it is readable. [Woolfson] has an ear for catchy descriptions that make science understandable and memorable... reading this book feels rather like having a conversation over dinner with a cultured, witty, and well-informed companion' - The Lancet
