Radioisotopes and Life Processes (Revised)
Walter E. Kisieleski and Renato Baserga
Tag an atom, then watch it travel through a living cell. This clear primer explains how radioactive isotopes act as biological detectives, tracing the workings of DNA, the structure of the cell, and the dance of mitosis. Accessible mid-century science on a tool that transformed biology. Discover how a faint glow let researchers follow life's chemistry step by step.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
