challenges for the field of synthetic biology."

the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues
"An exceptionally stimulating work on human genomics, especially
for nontechnical audiences, including college students. The
discussion of pharmacogenomics--a subject not generally addressed
in college textbooks--is both seminal and informative. This book is
a valuable contribution to the scientific literature on human
biodiversity, human genomics, and genomic medicine."
--Alondra Oubr�, medical anthropologist and author of Instinct and
Revelation: Reflections on the Origins of Numinous Perception
"Essential. All levels/libraries. . . . This is the perfect book
for anyone looking for a reliable, thorough source to understand
the underlying science, ethics, and sociopolitical challenges posed
by contemporary transformations in biotechnology. . . . Throughout,
Bradley speaks with a specialist's authority, a generalist's open
mind, and a humanist's sensitivity."--CHOICE
