A Field Guide to Little Known Genetically Engineered Organisms: Including Revisionary Interpretations About Their Impact on World History

The High-flow Cow (pictured on the front and back front covers) is just one of many remarkable organisms that could be created by the biotechnology industry. Here the author guides readers on a fascinating behind-the-scenes journey into the little-known world of genetic engineering. Not only are field marks, behaviors, habitats, and geographic ranges provided for 35 of the world's most top-secret genetically engineered species, but so too are described the historical sagas and personal dramas behind each creature's artificial manufacture. From Migratory Chickens and Marijuana-sniffing Dogs to Fire-retardant Trees, Square Tomatoes, and Oil-drinking Bacteria, the creatures described in this Field Guide give new meaning to the old adage that fiction is stranger than truth.
