Introducing a popular science book to the masses that covers the depth and breadth of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) revolution is a large undertaking, but one that Marc Zimmer has taken on in his new book, Glowing genes. The lay reader is not likely to have much, if any, prior knowledge of this relatively new field, so Zimmer’s book would seem to be a good place to start making this technology accessible to the masses.
