"The best book yet written about modern biology." Tom Wilkie, The Independent, 13 June 1995. I started to read this book in 1995, but found it hard work. I tried again in Covid-19 lockdown, and again found it hard work. For a book to prove both fascinating and difficult to read was unexpected. It is a significant record of biological research in the 20th century, but of its era.
