Genes for Teens

(1 customer reviews)

The book uses jeans as an introduction to a light-hearted discussion of genes and their 'teen relevant effects' including sex, pregnancy, skin (acne, smelly underarms etc); it also discusses the biology of skin color, its evolution and the meaning of 'race.' The main aim of the book is to be informative about things teenagers may wonder about; and at the same time encourage them to make thoughtful decisions about their lives - especially in view of the ever present threat of HIV/AIDS.

Genes for Teens Dec 03, 2008
By Pat
Beautifully illustrated, this book makes genetics a child's play! From a simple explanation of where the jeans we wear come from and their history, the author cleverly introduces genes and their many effects. The book even discusses why the colour of our skin and the texture of our hair is different - even a debate on how this may have evolved!
Like no other science book I have ever read, this book is written in the familiar voice of a story teller.
More importantly it not only informs but challenges teens to aspire for high goals.
A scientific book that also motivates - you bet; it's a must for all teens this Christmas!
