The New Genetics and the New Public Health addresses the emerging social and political consequences of the new genetics and provides a stimulating critique of current research and practice in public health.
The rapid advancement of genetic science, fuelled by the Human Genome Project and other related initiatives, promises a new kind of public health practice based on the pre-detection of disease according to calculations of genetic risk. This book by two well-known sociologists:
* explores the implications of the new genetics for public health as a body of knowledge and a domain of practice
* assesses the impact of new genetic information and technologies on conceptions of health, illness, embodiment, self and citizenship
* critically examines the complex discourses surrounding human genetics and public health.
