"Susan Merrill Squier has great fun demolishing silos and rearranging their contents. Viewing the world through Waddington's epigenetic landscape, Squier presents us with a feminist, interactionist, reordering of some of our dearest models of reality. Be ready to question your perceptions of human development, modern art, landscape design, graphic illustration, and the relations of science, art, and nature as you enter this fascinating book." — Scott F. Gilbert, author of, Developmental Biology

“In this stunning volume one of our most erudite and eloquent guides to the rapidly changing landscapes of the contemporary biological provides us with a timely and critical genealogy of epigenetics—one of the most important but elusive concepts in contemporary society. Everyone with an interest in the past and the future of biological concepts should read this book!” — Sarah Franklin, author of, Biological Relatives: IVF, Stem Cells, and the Future of Kinship
