C. Little, and to the emerging structures of modern biomedical research centered around the National Institutes of Health. Throughout \u003ci\u003eMaking Mice\u003c\/i\u003e, Rader explains how the story of mouse research illuminates our understanding of key issues in the history of science such as the role of model organisms in furthering scientific thought. Ultimately, genetically standardized mice became icons of standardization in biomedicine by successfully negotiating the tension between the natural and the man-made in experimental practice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book will become a landmark work for its understanding of the cultural and institutional origins of modern biomedical research. It will appeal not only to historians of science but also to biologists and medical researchers.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This energetic and elegantly written book represents a landmark study of the role of model organisms in the history of science.
