Reviews
A biochemical counterpart to Bill Bryson's <em>A Short History of Nearly Everything</em>. Cordes does essentialy for molecular life science what Bryson did for cosmology, earth and planetary science, and the origin and evolution of life, and he succeeds in his own goal just about as well. This book is eminently readable, with numerous illustrative anecdotes and figures of speech that liven the presentation. --<em>Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education</em> The tone is conversational, and ideas are often conveyed using clever and original analogies, personal anecdotes, and homey expressions. -- The Quarterly Review of Biology
