Reviews
The Graft Hybrid is well composed, thoughtful, and an original contribution to the history of biology.--Luis Campos, Rice University
Holmes's new history of graft hybrids offers new insights into the most celebrated and controversial topics in biology over the last century. From Darwin's questions to the emergence of genetics to the challenge of Lysenko, the figure of the graft hybrid has been a central part of the story of biology. Told with clarity, Holmes's book informs our own biological moment of biological engineering.--David Munns, John Jay College
