4) GLOSSARY IN BIOTECHNOLOGY AND GENETIC ENGINEERING AND BIOGRAPHIES OF RELATED SCIENTISTS HANDBOOK

The book provides the definitions of biotechnology and is intended for anyone working directly or indirectly with those pioneering the frontiers of modern biology. This includes and teachers from Pre University (11th and 12th std) for whom biotechnology has become indispensable in the new syllabus, undergraduates and post graduates in biotechnology and microbiology and not to mention researchers from the same area. The book has been written for readers without necessarily holding advanced degrees in molecular biology. The authors have taken care and made certain compromise between absolute scientific rigor and definitions based on analogy, with the inherent possibility of oversimplification. The cross reference after each item is extensive and provides the logical connections with other items for readers to explore relevant topics. This book will be of a great help especially for people with no advanced training in biological and chemical sciences to understand concepts and buzzwords that are indispensable to their work. Nevertheless, biotechnologist, who is probably only an expert in one of the diverse areas of biotechnology, and advanced students In one of the many biotechnology fields, may find it useful. The book will help one keep up to date with the biotechnology terminologies and communicate successfully with those working on the cutting-edge of modern science and enter interdisciplinary collaborations. This book is recommended to pre university students, teachers and scientists. This book will enable a better understanding of the complex ideas presented in today?s biotechnology work environment. As the progress of molecular biology is attributed to the scientists who made the discoveries this book provides information about some of the important biology of the world, including the famous, infamous and unknown. In an attempt to give a novel touch, a complication of forty six biographies describing the lives and work of influential biologists, genetists, microbiologists and molecular biologists is included in this book which will certainly augment the curiosity of an enthusiastic reader.
