{"product_id":"cats-are-not-peas-laura-gould-9781568813202","title":"Cats Are Not Peas: A Calico History of Genetics, Second Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Vets Turn Pale. . . George, a male calico, was a genetic anomaly, a manifestation of something that isn't supposed to happen, a creature so rare that even most veterinarians have never seen one. His curious existence sparked Laura Gould's long search through the archives of genetics to unearth the charming and valiant roles played by early cat geneticists, as well as cats themselves, in the study of genes and how they work. For everyone with an interest in cats and cat breeding, this is an unforgettable and often hilarious account of the intersecting lives of cats and geneticists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The field of genetics has exploded since 1992, when the first edition of \u003ci\u003eCats Are Not Peas\u003c\/i\u003e was completed. Thus a lengthy Addendum is included in this new edition, providing the reader with the terminology and concepts needed to understand two burgeoning new areas in which cats have again had significant roles to play---the sequencing of genomes and the production of clones. These descriptions allow you to view with increasing wonder the world around you and to think seriously about whether you would like to have your personal genome mapped or your cat cloned, both of which are now possible (if you can afford it).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Gould\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1568813201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781568813202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e A K PETERS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/08\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2008 pg. 136","brand":"Laura Gould","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088575213823,"sku":"9781568813202","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f3fe0d83-79c4-489d-b258-79a0bfa7af06.jpg?v=1769105534","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cats-are-not-peas-laura-gould-9781568813202","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
