This review is from: The Book of Man: The Human Genome Project and the Quest to Discover Our Genetic Heritage (Paperback)
By putting "The Human Genome Project" in the title one is deluded into thinking that the book may contain results from post 1991 human genome research. The reader will be disappointed. The anecdotes are interesting and well written accounts of events concerning use of genetic/DNA material to find the gene related cause of some hereditary diseases. Also some stories are about use of DNA in forensic cases. The book was originally published in 1994 and republished in PB in 1997. The Amazon description might have included this fact. I plan to return the book owing to its lack human genome project information.
