Reviews

"This is an utterly amazing workbook...it's surprising how much you want to find out when it's a question of mutated genes causing zombie behaviour...This would certainly be excellent for anyone contemplating a degree in genetics as well as those studying it already" 5 Star Amazon review May 2017
