RADIATION, GENES & MAN

BRUCE WALLACE & THEODORE DOBZHANSKY

Atomic energy gives to man almost incredible power; but its use endangers his
most precious possession-his genetic heritage. That threat is the subject of this
book. Much ink has already been spilt on this subject and diametrically opposed
views have been expressed with emotional conviction-to the confusion of the
ordinary man.
In this work two scientists of world repute explain the facts of radiation-induced
mutations and their effects on living populations-particularly human populations.
They estimate without bias the number of 'genetic deaths' to be expected under
various conditions and on various assumptions. In so doing they present with
extraordinary skill and lucidity a great deal of information on modern genetics in
addition to their account of radiation, thus giving the general reader a scientific
basis for reaching his own conclusions and evaluating the opinions of others.
