That book is so incredibly good. When my kids are the right age I am going to give them that book to read so they will get hooked on science. It should be required reading in high school biology classes. Think about a class centered around that book where students do little experiments related to passages like this one. That would be amazing.
When I was in the 8th grade and I wrote my first program in BASIC I came home from school and told my mother "I want to be a programmer- like the guy in Jurassic Park, but not fat."
