Jeremy Cherfas (Series editor John Gribbin)

ISBN: 0 7513 3716 1 (Paperback, 72 pages)
I ordered this publication via the Internet and when it arrived this tiny book's size was, at first, a disappointment. It's only after reading it that you begin to appreciate the author's skill in summarising the science and issues that surround what is arguably one of humankind's greatest scientific achievements. Now, I cannot praise this excellent little book too highly.

How many people remember the 21st May 1994? This was the day that the first GM tomato, the Flavr Savr, went on sale in Davis, California, an occasion noted for the rush to purchase and the rationing of fruit to two per person per day!

Mother Earth is indeed a blue planet when viewed from space. Its surface is almost three-quarters covered by ocean which has a mean depth of about 3 700 m, and which ranges from shallow coastal waters to trenches as deep as 11 000 m. The ocean is by far the biggest habitable space on this planet although most of it is never reached by sunlight.
