A very complex subject is broken into understandable pieces and then put back together to form a complicated but comprehensible whole. From Library Journal Using the theme of sexuality, the authors discuss basic genetics information and analytical techniques and the genetic basis of cancer, AIDS, and mental illness. . Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, IncThe Human Genome discusses the interface between science and society, covering the basic intellectual processes that underlie genetic analysis and gene therapy. Written in an inviting and engaging style, The Human Genome meets the interests and answers the questions of today's students. It also looks at the use of cloning techniques to search for genes responsible for such human disease states as cystic fibrosis, cancer, AIDS, and mental illness. It begins coverage of the fundamental concepts of genetics and heredity, then illustrates these concepts as they relate to the development of human sexual differentiation and sexuality. The book describes the role of the X and Y chromosomes, the role of hormone-controlled differential gene expression in sex determination, and the role of genetics in sexual orientation and sex-role development.
Key Features:
* Offers a concise discussion of contemporary human genetics and relevant topics
* Accessible to the reader with no formal science background
* Reviews the fundamental principles that underlie genetic analysis, prenatal diagnosis, and gene therapy

Muybridges momumental work photographing animals in all different gates and poses and tests of ability. Okay, this book took me for a bit of a loop because I wasn't expecting it to be of a new character that wasn't introduced in the form of the Alien Trio from the first book. He may be retired, but he still goes at it the only way he knows how and soon seems to have antagonized his former bosses as well as other parties. This book is garbage. A pleasure to add to my collection. Its an interesting chapter in the history of photography and the history of art, too. The second checklist has a column for each of 30 different islands/keys to show where the species has been present.I've listed several related books below1) Butterflies of North America (Kaufman Focus Guides) by Brock/Kaufman2) The Butterflies of North America by Scott3) Field Guide to the Butter
