Edward B. Lewis' science is the bridge linking experimental
genetics as conducted in the first half of the 20th century, and
the powerful molecular genetic approaches that revolutionized the
field in its last quarter. His Nobel Prize winning studies founded
the field of developmental genetics and laid the groundwork for our
current understanding of the universal, evolutionarily conserved
strategies controlling animal development. A lesser-known aspect of
Lewis' canon is the pioneering studies he carried out on ionizing
radiation and human cancer. In doing so, he was propelled into a
public storm over nuclear weapons testing policy. For the first
time Lewis' key publications in the fields of genetics,
developmental biology, radiation and cancer are compiled within one
volume. commentaries on the papers placing them in their scientific
and historical context and, throughout, giving insight into Lewis'
approach to science and the motivations that drove Lewis' choice of
subject matter. This book will be invaluable to a wide audience of
professionals in the life and biomedical sciences; including
geneticists, developmental biologists, molecular biologists,
radiation biologists and cancer researchers. It provides source
material for advanced undergraduate and graduate level courses in
genetics, developmental biology, radiation and cancer. In addition,
historians of science will find it to be a valuable resource both
because it contains original research publications and because of
the illuminating commentary.
