For those of us who enjoy the fascinating new field of DNA and genetics, this book give a great background... all the scientists over the decades who have contributed to the field leading to what we know (as of 2014). A lot of information explained in layperson's terms and with humor. Excellent!

Great book. Read it cover to cover. Learned a lot. No short sentences, though.
