Recenzje

In this brilliant multi-method exploration, Hochschild shows how citizens and experts form beliefs about genomics and determine whether to oppose or support it. The answer lies not in political ideology or partisanshipDLthe fallback explanation that many may presumeDLbut rather in attitudes about genetics and risk. The book provides a remarkable portrait of what people think of genomics. Even more important is that Hochschild reveals how people form their impressions on new issues with huge public policy consequences. A must read for those interested in genomics and for anyone who cares about the public, preferences, and democratic governance.
