Scientoonics is a new discipline in science that disseminate scientific knoweldge through the medium of comics and cartoons (called scientoons). These are essentially cartoons based on scientific concepts, discoveries, results, and their applications. This book takes an entirely novel approach in communicating scientific facts. It will not only help the layman to acquaint himself with the scientific jargon but also allow him to understand how we can make use of such facts in our day-to-day life. Recent advances in scientific research, in fact, demand pro-active efforts from the scientists to ensure that complex ideas reach to the public effectively. Through scientoons this book aims to depict present concerns brought forward by the recent explosion of knowledge, especially in areas such as DNA, DNA fingerprinting, the human genome, conservation of wildlife, etc. The authors have taken the opportunity to provide information that will not only entertain the readers but also enrich their knowledge about the scientific advances taking place around the world. Each scientoon is therefore associated with a text that narrates the formal aspects of the science or its applications. This book is an endeavor to reduce the gap between the excitement of the advances in modern scientific world and the curious readers who want to know more about science.
