[ Jack and the Beanstalk ]
This book is based on the British folk tale Jack and the Beanstalk. It is metaphorically created, comparing the threat of genetically modified organism (GMO), which has spread around the world, with a giant beanstalk that stretches to the sky. It is bound quite simply - two sheets of paper folded into a spiral shape (just like a gene).
