BOOKS:
Mapping Our Genes: The Genome Project and the
Future of Medicine
E.P. Dutton/Penguin USA
Published under the same title in Japanese and as
Rätsel der Gene (Puzzle of the Genes) in German
“Wingerson has succeeded admirably in simplifyiing
what is sometimes extremely complex research. . . She
has done a fine job of writing about genes and the
scientists who are mapping the genome, and she
has done it without ever losing sight of the people
whose illnesses provided the original clues.”
-- Perri Klass
The New York Times
“Engrossingly and accurately portrays the scientific world
that is now striving to isolate the genes behind genetic
tragedies. I most enjoyed reading it.”
-- James Watson
Nobel Prize winner
Unnatural Selection: The Promise and Power of
Human Gene Research
Bantam
“[Wingerson] explains much current and recent research,
imparting a good contemporary picture of a fast-
developing field … She is especially good on the
assessment of genetic risks, the importance of informed
and understandable counseling, and the personal decision
to have or not to have genetic tests performed. To the
literature of a subject already extensively covered,
Wingerson makes a positive, popular addition.”
-- William Beatty, Booklist
“Succeeds in presenting the fascinating issues of genetic
science and ethics in a thoroughly engaging manner. By
providing insights into the people behind the issues,
Wingerson makes the world of genetics come alive for a
wide range of readers.”
