Description: "Professor Roy Burdon has written this book to explain to the lay person what science now knows about how our genes are adversely affected by the modern environment in which we live. The irony is that these environmental adversities are mainly the result of the unintended consequences of the very industrial revolution and modern technologies which have transformed our lives in so many positive ways."--BOOK JACKET.
