Here are some of the summary comments from one of the book’s editors:

Thank you for this truly engaging project….I have no particular bias on this issue, with the exception of one against its current politicization. I’m lucky to have some excellent molecular biologists as friends, though my science background isn’t a formal one……Overall, you put forward a fair and well reasoned argument. Its great strength is that it attempts to circumvent a polarized issue by providing a fresh interpretation, and then provides a tool for progress. You bolster your points with many good, specific examples, and on the whole you present your topic in a smart, accessible style. Any reader interested in the topic will be lucky to lay hands on your book…..On the whole, my experience of your argument was that it started out shaky and gradually got much stronger. This may be a natural consequence of how readers approach a new idea, guarded at first, and more accepting as the writer earns their trust……Your book was a delightful intellectual project, and I can’t wait to see it in print.
