The Language of Genes by Steve Jones
	1994 Doubleday 272pp. 0-385-47372-9 Bibliography; Index

Of all the books on genetics published in 1994, this is probably the most enjoyable to read. Its strength resides in Jones's superior communications skills, which he uses to make the topic of genetics and its history vivid and exciting.
