"This is a most important book for educationists, teachers, psychologists, parents and learners." (South West Review, 1 June 2014

"In sum, G Is for Genesis an admirable effort by two authors who are excellent translational scholars. It alights on a number of important educational issues and does so in a reasoned and constructive manner." (PsycCRITIQUES, 7 April 2014)

"This book breaks down complex science in an engaging and accessible way so that the wider audience can enjoy reading about genetic research, molecular biology, genome screening and most relevantly the implications for education." (Early Years Educator, 1 February 2014)
