Richard W. Oliver predicted the onset of a new era in The Coming Biotech Age. That age is here. The biotech revolution is taking place within our leading universities, corporations, and government—which are becoming the new economic engines of growth and innovation. In less than a generation, Oliver asserts, virtually every company will be a "bioterials" company.

Now, in The Biotech Age, Oliver offers businesses access to the latest developments in this fast-moving, volatile industry. The Biotech Age is the first practical guide to the business of biotechnology, reflecting the rapid change experienced in various industries and the increasing effect that biotech is having on our lives. Oliver provides information on the latest research, examples of biotech breakthroughs, and a close examination of hot-button biotech issues, such as cloning and stem cell research. He addresses the new economic laws of biotech—eliminating the theory and jargon—and the vast implications and opportunities that biotech has for all types of industries, with remarkable technology that will take us further and faster than any before it. Oliver also outlines his version of our biotech future—revealing why developments in biotechnology are likely to have a more profound effect on the economy than the Information Age and the Industrial Age combined.

Putting you at the forefront of a revolution with a business potential almost unfathomable, The Biotech Age is a book no one can afford to miss.
