Genetic Medicine: A Logic of Disease

Barton Childs''s book is erudite and informative.
—Rodney Harris, Human Genetics The author gives us new ways of looking at old medical disorders and offers plenty of food for thought to stimulate changes in current thinking.
—Virginia E. Kimonis, Teaching and Learning in Medicine This book is highly recommended for a wide variety of audiences in addition to physicians and medical students: ethicists, anthropologists, social workers, nurses, and other members of the health profession. Hospital administrators, insurance personnel, and lawyers could also benefit, particularly in this day of managed care. Members of curriculum committees of medical schools and public health schools could also benefit. Fortunately, some of Childs''s concepts are being applied to medical teaching already, but I know of no better synthesis in one book.
—James E. Bowman, Perspectives in Biology and Medicine Childs thus provides a conceptual framework within which to teach and practice a humane medicine.
