Book Synopsis
Written for historians, sociologists, and anthropologists of science and medicine, as well as bioethics scholars, physicians, geneticists, and families affected by genetic conditions, Life Histories of Genetic Disease is a profound exploration of the scientific culture surrounding malformation and mutation.

Trade Review
By presenting a historical review of the critical scientific literature for these clinical examples, the narrative provides an excellent demonstration of the sequential, developmental process of scientific discovery and acceptance of disease mechanisms... Recomended. Choice
