Reviews
An excellent addition to the human genetics library. This book should reach not only genetics professionals but all health care providers.... [It] is the first global attempt by several experts from diverse backgrounds to address specific ethnic and cultural beliefs and their implications for genetic services. It is long overdue!
The book succeeds in making the reader aware of the ethnic groups that [geneticists] might meet.... If you see this book on your shelf, do pick it up.... You will find the book fascinating.
This is the only book I know of that discusses in depth the problems, solutions, and guidelines for cross-cultural and cross-ethnic genetic counseling in North America. Logical and effective in manner, this text is a substantial contribution to the field and will also be of interest to nurses, social workers, and other health workers involved in genetic counseling.
