- Genes, Blood, and Courage
- David Nathan
- This is the absorbing story of a doctor's thirty-year struggle to keep alive a patient ravaged by thalassemia, a life-threatening inherited disease of the blood. As this case illustrates, this new area of human genetic research--in which Nathan is a leading clinical investigator--promises tremendous advances in the rational diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of inherited disorders and even of acquired illnesses such as cancer and infectious disease.

- Heredity and Hope
- Ruth Schwartz Cowan
- Neither minimizing the difficulty of the choices that modern genetics has created for us nor fearing them, Cowan argues that we can improve the quality of our own lives and the lives of our children by using the modern science and technology of genetic screening responsibly.
