reviewed DNA: Promise and Peril on February 09, 2013

I swindled this for $5.00 at a local hospital so of course I had to read it! This would be a great overview of the field if you did not know much about Genetic work or DNA. There were a lot of expected topics of discussion brought up but not lengthy enough discussions to really get into them. Still a fun overview, even if most of the information can be found elsewhere.
