Far from being a new branch of scientific discovery, biotechnology has been practiced for thousands of years; it affects everyday life in continuously evolving ways. Biotechnology: Changing Life Through Science aims to explore this complex subject in a way that is understandable for students with an emphasis on real-world applications of biotechnology. It will explore the relationship between science (the natural world) and technology (the human-made world) and highlight its impact. Entries are separated into three volumes, each with a focus on a specific area of biotechnology impact:

• Volume 1: Medicine (covers health applications
• Volume 2: Agriculture (covers food, nature and the environment)
• Volume 3: Industry (covers industrial uses)

Features include full-color custom illustrations, photographs, timeline, "Words to Know", a bibliography and an index.
