{"product_id":"biotechnology-isbn-9783527335152","title":"Biotechnology","description":"Now presented in large format, the new Schmid is the ideal primer in biotechnology. The two-page layout with one page being a full color figure and the opposite page being explanatory text is the ideal combination between rapid visual-based learning with in depth information.Biotechnologie und Gentechnik gehören zu den Schlüsseltechnologien des 21. Jahrhunderts. Sie erlauben uns Schritt für Schritt, wissenschaftlich-technische Erkenntisse von Zellbiologie und Genetik, von Biochemie und Mikrobiologie, von Bioverfahrenstechnik und Bioinformatik auf die Gesundheitsvorsorge und die Heilung von Krankheiten, die landwirtschaftliche Produktion und die Herstellung von Nahrungsmitteln, den Technologiewandel bei der Herstellung von Chemie-Produkten und auf den Umweltschutz anzuwenden.\u003cbr\u003e Wie viele Technologien sind sie aber auch nicht davor sicher, mißbraucht zu werden. Davor kann eine sachliche und breite Information über Chancen und Risiken am besten schützen.\u003cbr\u003e Dieser Taschenatlas wendet sich deshalb nicht nur an Studenten der Natur- und Ingenieurswissenschaften und der Medizin, sondern auch an alle, die einen Überblick über die Produkte, die Methoden, die aktuellen Anwendungen und die ethischen, wirtschaftlichen und sicherheitstechnischen Rahmenbedingungen der Bio- und Gentechnologie suchen.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface to the 2nd Edition x\u003c\/p\u003e
