3.0 out of 5 stars words, not pictures, 1 Jul 2009

By	P. C. ADAMS (wales) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: How the Cows Turned Mad: Unlocking the Mysteries of Mad Cow Disease (Paperback)

The story of the search for the causative agent of TSEs is fascinating, going through Pasteur and bacteria, viruses in early 20th century, to the recognition of prions. The historical context is well created by the author.

But it's all in words: no charts, no pictures - but the tasks of explaining molecular biology, brain disease, and genetics have become so visual in the last two decades. What a shame
