"If you read one book about the human genome, this is it! An
extraordinary thoughtful, readable and myth-busting contribution to
understanding our future. I loved it!"-Donna E. Shalala, former U.S.
Secretary of Health and Human Services


The genetic revolution has provided incredibly valuable information
about our DNA, information that can be used to benefit and inform-but
also to judge, discriminate, and abuse. An essential reference for
living in today's world, this book gives the background information
critical to understanding how genetics is now affecting our everyday
lives. Written in clear, lively language, it gives a comprehensive
view of exciting recent discoveries and explores the ethical, legal,
and social issues that have arisen with each new development.

Full information about the book, including the table of contents, is
available online: http://go.ucpress.edu/McCabe
