Biotechnology textbooks?

[augment]

Im a junior in high school. I have only completed one year of biology I'm taking Chem 1 this year. Next year I will be taking advanced biology and chem 2. If anybody didn't read my thread in the engineering seciton I want to work in the biotechnology industry as a research scientist. I want to buy a textbook so I can start learning about genes, DNA, RNA, rDNA, and things like that.

 

Any recommendations?

The one I used is Molecular Biotechnology by Glick and Pasternak 3rd edition, I found it very usefull. My current proff (Glick) wrote it.

I haven't had need to use another one though so I don't really have anything to draw a comparisson from.

Just out of curiosity, why does your info say Toronto if you're in Waterloo?

Oh Well that's where I grew up, I have only a half month left in Waterloo, and 99% of the people on this board don't know where that is.
