From Library Journal
Chronicling the brief, tumultuous history of commercial biotechnology, this book depicts the so-called "biomania" of the early-to-mid 1980s as an entrepreneurial gold rush. Teitelman, editor of Financial Times magazine, relies on personal accounts to present an insider's view of the boom-to-bust financing of these firms. Investors, who often had little scientific background, were anxious to invest large sums of money in biotechnology. These high-overhead enterprises siphoned talent from academia, and, with products still on the drawing board, had little more to sell than hope. Though the author seems to have intended to write an expose, this story of high technology and high rolling is sobering, but not genuinely shocking. For public and undergraduate libraries.
