In The Beginning Was the Worm by Andrew Brown/Simon & Schuster, Pocket Books, £7.99, ISBN 0743415981 Reviewed by Maggie McDonald
A TINY worm that gorges itself on bacteria and slime moulds is an unlikely hero, but Andrew Brown’s In The Beginning Was the Worm just out in paperback is a compelling read. “A remarkable understanding of the painstaking efforts that made the current genomic revolution possible”, is how the reviewer of the hardback Mark Pagel described it (Â鶹´«Ã½ 22 February 2003, p 51).
