Drawing on historical and archival material, as well as original interviews with more than fifty scientists worldwide, Elizabeth Jones explores the field's formation and explains its relationship with the media by examining its close connection to de-extinction, the science and technology of resurrecting extinct species. She reveals how the search for DNA from fossils flourished under the influence of intense press and public interest, particularly as this new line of research coincided with the book and movie Jurassic Park. This book presents the first historical and sociological account of the search for DNA from ancient and extinct organisms with attention to the intimate interplay between science and celebrity. 650 0 $a DNA. 941 $a 1 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220601010247.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=241A64C2E17011EC82262A731FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
