Hodge, Russ

An exploration of genetic engineering that examines DNA, RNA, and proteins; and discusses structures, behaviors, and how chemistry and physics allow organic molecules to build tissues, organs, and organisms.

Explores current genetic research featuring the tools of genetic analysis and manipulation. Considers the potential influence of research on issues such as the causes of aging and death, the nature of the brain, and quality of life. Covers topics such as biodiversity, gene manipulation, and the "new" pharmacology.

An exploration of genetic engineering that discusses the history of genetic science, and also covers cell theory and chromosomes, cloning, ethics, genetically modified plants and animals, genomes, heredity, and other topics.

An exploration of developmental biology that examines the relationship between cells, genes, and the environment; discusses how discoveries in various branches of biology have allowed scientists a greater understanding of the complexity of organisms; and also covers the phases of human life, origins of major organs, cancer, and more.

An exploration of human genetics that examines how genetics are used in medicine, forensic science, and genetic counseling; and also discusses evolutionary psychology, the genetics of cancer, stem cell research, and other topics.

An exploration of evolution that discusses the work of Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace, examines how the theory has been received by society, and provides information on DNA, genomes, heredity, sequencing, and other topics.
