This second edition of a very successful text reflects the tremendous pace of human genetics research and the demands that it places on society to understand and absorb its basic implications. The human genome has now been officially mapped and the cloning of animals is becoming a commonplace scientific discussion on the evening news. Join authors Julia Richards and Scott Hawley as they examine the biological foundations of humanity, looking at the science behind the sensation and the current and potential impact of the study of the genome on our society. The Human Genome, Second Edition is ideal for students and non-professionals, but will also serve as a fitting guide for the novice geneticist by providing a scientific, humanistic, and ethical frame of reference for a more detailed study of genetics.

The Human Genome: A User's Guide focuses on the genome that makes us who we are and presents the basics in a clear and readable way for those of us who are not geneticists, even for people who havent had a science class since high school. This is one of those rare books that truly succeeds in presenting sound and modern science in a completely accessible way. To understand the science and the ethics we all need to understand the genetic data within our cells and what can and should be done, now and in the future, with that information. The subtitle emphasizes that we all users of the genome and have a vested interest in it, whether to understand the nature of genetic diseases or the role of heredity in the development of our personalities. This book teaches what is common to all of us and how our genome makes us all individuals.
