Reviews
In recent years, resources on cloning and genetics have saturated the market, but this one is really special. In one comprehensive volume, Yount provides the ultimate resource for students, teachers, and library media specialists. The first 50 pages offer an overview of the topic, sweeping quickly through history to the early 1970s, then meticulously detailing the scientific achievements, ethical concerns, and judicial conflicts of biotechnical advances. Chapter two moves, case-by-case, through important legal battles, looking at scientific concerns, patent struggles, and health issues (Can a dentist refuse to treat a patient who is HIV positive?). Each court battle is drawn with care--from the surrounding circumstances to the legal issues to the decision and its impact. The remainder of the book is a fact-finder's dream: chapters are dedicated to an extensive chronology, biographical listings, and a glossary. Part two of the text then directs researchers to Web sites, other books, and articles via a huge, annotated bibliography subdivided by topic. For small or large collections, this will be an excellent starting point for almost any research on the subject. Roger Leslie
