Editorial Reviews

From Booklist
Gr. 7-12. A hereditary disease affecting nearly 30,000 Americans, cystic fibrosis (CF) often causes death before its sufferers reach the age of 30. The authors explain what CF is, how it is transmitted, and how it affects those who have it, paying particular attention to the respiratory and digestive problems it can cause. They also include a chapter on treatment and research, including a look at ethical issues. Diagrams and photographs help readers better understand how the illness progresses through the body; notes, a bibliography, and a glossary are provided. A fine addition to the health books shelf. Patricia Braun
