Human genetics has blossomed from an obscure branch of biological science and occasional explanation for exceedingly rare disorders to a field all of its own that affects everyone. Human Genetics: The Basics introduces the key questions and issues in this emerging field, including:
- The common ancestry of all humanity
- The role of genes in sickness and health
- Debates over the use of genetic technology
Written in an engaging, narrative manner, this concise introduction is an ideal starting point for anyone who wants to know more about genes, DNA, and the genetic ties that bind us all.

She is currently writing a book about children pioneering gene therapy, tentatively entitled The Forever Fix. It will be published by St. Martin's Press.
