PositiveGeographical (UK)Rutherford focuses less on the moral debate ... Instead he does what he does best, and asks whether the science behind such attempts even stacks up ... A strong and compelling riposte to all those who would see us merrily tinker with human genes and human lives.

PositiveGeographical (UK)Intermingled family, geographical and political history make this a fascinating and gentle read. It is both an introduction to Taiwan, its people and its topography, and a highly personal, and honest, account of one family. It is beautifully written, full of metaphor and short passages of illuminating description ... there is also a sense of rising peace. As Lee plods determinedly up mountains in the wind and rain she, like many before her, finds relief in the steady act of walking and the slow, determined growth of trees.
