She Has Her Mother's Laugh

If you've submitted your DNA to one of the popular ancestry services and would like to increase your ability to interpret the results or are just curious about heredity, biological inheritance, and genetic research, this is the audiobook for you. Narrator Joe Ochman's personable delivery helps listeners become caught up in these accessible explanations of the meaning and implications of heredity. His straightforward performance is a good match for author Carl Zimmer's well-rounded examination of what it means to know your genetic makeup as well as how past and ongoing work in genetic engineering and gene therapy affect--and will continue to affect--our our lives. Newsworthy research, quiet experiments, and the author's personal experiences enliven the story of a century of genetic discoveries. C.B.L. � AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
