Reviews
Carey's enthusiasm for her subject is infectious.... An excellent introduction to a subject that we are certain to be hearing a lot more about in the near future., [ Junk DNA ], which is frequently humorous and well documented, does a fine job of explaining a complex subject for lay readers who are willing to put in some effort., Engaging, Informative, and Humorous, Dr. Carey's Appealing Book Will Be of Interest to Many Readers., A clear introduction to junk DNA and its involvement in phenomena as diverse as genetic diseases, disease treatments, viral infections, sex determination in mammals, and evolution., Junk DNA provides a cutting-edge, exhaustive guide to the rapidly changing, ever-more mysterious genome., Carey makes two points very clearly: that our understanding is tentative and evolving, and that chromosomal functioning is far more intricate than anyone ever hypothesized., The first popular overview of this field.... [Carey] has an excellent grasp of the history of junk DNA and its implications for both basic and applied science. She has a gift for analogies and converts complex biochemistry into imagery that brings it to a level nonspecialists can grasp.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!
