The Tangled Field: Barbara McClintock’s Search for the Patterns of Genetic Control
Nathaniel C. Comfort
Barbara McClintock (1902–1992), a geneticist who integrated classical genetics with microscopic observations of the behavior of chromosomes, was regarded as an unorthodox, nearly incomprehensible thinker. Here, Comfort replaces the “McClintock myth“ with a new story, enhancing our understanding of women in science and scientific creativity.
