Well, here's a sign of the times: our library just received a new Prentice Hall book... New Biology for Engineers and Computer Scientists, a primer on the essentials of new biology (genes, proteins, cells, the Human Genome Project, etc.) for intotech geeks making the shift to cash in on the biotech gold rush. "This book provides an effective tool to teach new biology to those engineers and computer scientists wanting to join the biotechnology workforce." Actually, it's a good read, although at only 286 pages the overview moves very quickly, perhaps too fast for some.
