It was decided by the Neaman institute, which is engaged in policy, science and technology research, to work towards increasing and expanding the knowledge of natural and engineering sciences among youths and adults. One of the ways to achieve this objective is to translate a series of classical books on science and technology.
As the first book in this series we have chosen the book by Nobel Prize laureate, geneticist Francois Jacob. The book presents in a systematic, basic and clear manner the developments of ideas in the field of heredity from the 17th to the 20th century. The book brings together important and central ideas in modern biology and presents them through interwoven layers which enable the “intelligent” amateur to both enjoy and learn.
