A fascinating subject and a complex one explained with impressive clarity. A great addition to a series of consistent quality. ( ) This was a fantastic book! I have been reading nonfiction texts for inclusion in school libraries, and _Stronger Than Steel_ has everything that I was looking for: researched information, student-friendly but also discipline-specific vocabulary and writing style, engaging subject matter, a glossary and index, and excellent pictures. This was a treat, and a book that I would heartily select for inclusion! Excellent for complex text standards as outlined by the CCSS. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Readers explore rapid advancements in the application of genetic medicine and their potential to save and improve lives while considering the crucial ethical concerns of genetic research. A timely addition to the acclaimed Scientists in the Field series. "-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
