Reviews

Being at Genetic Risk delves deeply into Mol's concept of `logic of care'; set in the context of the risk of a genetic disease (rather than focusing on patients living with a disease or a difficult-to-define symptom), this adds in significant and interesting ways to the conversation. -Jodie Nicotra, University of Idaho This book is groundbreaking, not only for scholars interested in women's health, or health or science studies more generally, but also for rhetorical scholars and (post)humanists. -Celeste M. Condit, author of Angry Public Rhetorics: Global Relations and Emotion in the Wake of 9/11
