Reviews
""Can a country claim to have its own genetic material?... Rabinow demonstrates that the answer to this question is far from simple.... The wide variety of subjects that he treats guarantees the interest of a large group of readers: students, researchers, scientific managers from academic institutions as well as from industry, politicians, and interested laymen."" - Wilhelm Ansorge, Science ""A fast-paced story of personalities and research organizations, interspersed with chapters delving into French history and politics to analyse how past events influenced current thinking and decision making.... The author has done an excellent job of marrying presentation of 'news events,' science, and philosophical analysis, and a book such as this is valuable for its cross-disciplinary insights."" - Clare Robinson, Endeavour ""Rabinow's book introduces a dramatis personae that could fill the pages of a bio-tech corporate thriller."" - Gary Lachman, Times Literary Supplement
