Review # 1 was written on 2008-10-09 00:00:00 Rani Rendon What a fine book. The result of a relentless curiosity about the world around us and a keen mind. It seems that Hubbell has built a dream life where she spends much of her time exploring and thinking about the natural world and it is our fortune that she writes so well and is willing to share her observations...about cats, apples and err.. silkworms. Like it or not this is the stuff genetic engineering is made of and Hubbell seeks to reconcile our inner edenic impulses with the seductive razor of wild science. At the very least she brings everyone along the spectrum to the negotiating table, implicating us all mad scientists so that we might better understand what our choices are going into the future. but my favorite part of this book is the lovely stories she tells of silkworms smuggled in the coiffures of princesses and the luxuriant genetic promiscuity of apples. ive always believed in the inherent poetry of science and this book and books like it will be my proof if ever i am called upon to witness.
