About this Book

Major topics include: mutations and mutagenesis; genetics of T4 bacteriophage and other intemperate and temperate phages; transduction; transformation; conjugation and plasmids; recombination and repair; probability laws for prokaryote cultures; applied bacterial genetics. Based on ten years of study and direct personal contact with college basketball team members and coaches across three cites and five universities, the Adlers provide a sympathetic yet realistic portrayal of the talented athletes, from their on-court celebrity to their social isolation on campus and feelings of rejection and failure in the classroom.
