Genetics

The Strongest Boy in the World by Philip R. Reilly
This is a great collection of 20 essays on modern developments in genetics. In all of them, Philip does a great job of summarizing the history and current state of research on that topic, how he sees things going forward, ethical issues, and his take on them.
For me, the great take-away from this book was just the background and recent developments in so many parts of genetics. The moral part was also interesting and informational, but well, I wasn't really as troubled by genetics as many other people.
But I kind of whizzed through it. I definitely would like to reread it slowly at some point, and think through all the issues to understand them a lot more thoroughly.
