Voici un ouvrage très bien construit avec une évidente et remarquable volonté pédagogique qui amène le lecteur jusqu'aux questions actuelles des modifications génétiques des plantes.
Les illustrations et les encarts complètent le texte principal et l'ensemble est réellement passionnant.
Bravo à l'auteur !
