Book excerpt: This revised and updated edition contains provocative and challenging essays from Australian and New Zealand specialists that address ethical, social, and ecological problems arising from biotechnology and genetic engineering.

Though promising much, emerging technology also threatens to disrupt evolution and usher in new forms of social control. This book is essential reading for those uncomfortable with developments in this area.
