520 3  Biotechnology is a fascinating interdisciplinary field 
       uniquely poised to take on some of the world's most 
       complex problems. This takes a refreshing problems-based 
       approach to exploring the field. Novice readers will come 
       away with a broad appreciation for the significance of 
       current and emerging biotechnologies--from regenerative 
       medicine, to genetically enhanced crops, to biofuels. 
       Experts will benefit from the concise review of timely 
       game-changing technologies such as DNA sequence-by-
       synthesis and genome editing. Despite being set within a 
       conceptual framework of "wicked" problems (i.e., disease, 
       food production, environmental degradation), insights into
       the current state and future potential of biotechnologies 
       make this book both optimistic and forward thinking. This 
       is not just an informative text--it's an entry point into 
       a discipline with the potential to change the world.
