Perception
By M. Lévesque. 1986
discusses the characterization of the products of these newly isolated oncogenes. Each of these reviews concludes by examining the directions for future experiments; the subsequent article then often describes that research. The series of four articles permits the reader to get a sense of the length of time, the number of researchers, and the huge effort necessary to make significant advances. The book is written at a level which can be understood by anyone with some background in biology. It assumes very little, and most articles are self-explanatory. As Friedberg is careful to point out, this book is not meant to cover all of cancer biology rigorously or comprehensively, but instead to convey several important concepts. As such, it is an excellent, easily read volume for anyone, especially students, wishing to learn about cancer biology; it would be very useful as a fast overview of the field which will make subsequent reading of more detailed articles much easier. So well written and easy to read that it is both enjoyable and informative, this book is highly recommended to anyone interested in learning about cancer biology.
