Terrific book for anyone interested in scientific research. The type people in the field, their dedication, problems and rivalries; the research process; how much time required to unravel each small piece of the complex biological process that operate within cells. Complex issues are described in lay terms, but you may need to study many of them with some independent research to gain a better grasp. Terrific introduction for any teenager with an interest in research to gain an overview of the field. Very insightful.
