1. Biotechnology : An Introduction (with InfoTrac) by
Susan R. Barnum, Paperback: 336 pages, Publisher: Brooks
Cole
Written for a college-level course, This textbook introduces
the field of biotechnology with a broad view. The author
then describes the processes and methods used to
manipulate living organisms or the substances and
products from these organisms for medical, agricultural,
and industrial purposes. Using case studies and
examples, the author rounds out discussions by detailing
the technology and how it is applied, including
discussions on the implications of biotechnology in such
areas as gene therapy, medicine, agriculture, marine
biology, and forensics. More complex and
difficult-to-teach topics are given special coverage, by
providing outlines, bulleted lists, and tables for
simplifying and clarifying topics such as immunology,
construction of recombinant DNA molecules, relevant lab
techniques, monoclonal antibodies, and plant
transformation/regeneration. Besides the addition of
color, this new edition places more information in boxes
to focus on the process of science, the accomplishments
of researchers in the field, and real-world examples of
biotechnology.

4. Basic Biotechnology by Colin Ratledge (Editor),
Bjorn Kristiansen, Paperback: 584 pages, Publisher:
Cambridge University Press
An excellent textbook for an introductory course in
Biotech. Biotechnology's huge, wide-ranging,
multidisciplinary activities impinge on everyone's lives
in the form of recombinant DNA techniques, cloning and
genetics, the application of microbiology to the
production of household goods, and antibiotics. It
continues to revolutionize treatments of many diseases
and is used to provide clean technologies and deal with
environmental problems. Basic Biotechnology is a
mainstream account of the current state of
biotechnology, written to provide the reader with
insight, inspiration, and instruction into the skills
and arts of the subject. The volume explains the
fundamental aspects that underpin all biotechnology and
provides examples of how these principles are put into
operation, from starting substrate to final product. The
book is essential reading for all students and teachers
of biotechnology and applied microbiology and for
researchers in the many biotechnology industries.
