Positioned at the cutting edge of science, Cell of Cells charts the international race to utilize the stem cell.
(Cell of Cells) makes one think about the immense possibility science holds for society. It tells a great story...Aspiring students of science would benefit from this book, both as stimulation and as an example of the kinds of approaches undertaken in this particular scientific endeavor. The restrictions placed on hES cell research by religious groups will only delay success (assuming that there will be success at the end of this road). Fox's book is an excellent introduction to the field of stem cell research and makes for interesting and entertaining reading.
