Scientists extract dinosaur DNA remnants lingering in the stomachs of insects entombed in amber for millions of years, reconstitute them into complete copies of dinosaur DNA, and then "grow" dinosaurs inside the lab. It sounds intuitively plausible--if far-fetched--but could it really work? In this fascinating book, Rob DeSalle and David Lindley explain in detail how scientists might attempt this painstaking task and the challenges they would face. In the process, they provide a running tutorial on the techniques of genetic engineering and play spoilsport to the occasional sloppy science of the Crichton and Spielberg works. The result is thoroughly entertaining yet simultaneously enlightening. 221851 5 1997 The Science of Jurassic Park: And the Lost World Or, How to Build a Dinosaur total:31|5:7|4:15|3:4|2:5|1:0| 31 117 48 2 5 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Tue Nov 20 05:07:11 -0800 2007 Tue Nov 20 05:08:31 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2000 Wed Dec 19 14:06:01 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 19 14:07:03 -0800 2007
