Reviews
"[E]ncourages readers to thoughtfully consider the reasons and possible consequences--for both humans and animals--for manipulating these complex systems."-Children's Literature, "New tools have opened new avenues to genetic engineering of animals, living and dead. Is this a good idea? This engaging introduction invites readers to form their own conclusions about the new world of genetic modifications. An opening essay provides an overview of the book's structure, relatively simple explanations of how the process of genetic change works and new gene-editing technology, and some questions to consider about projects of this sort: Are they practical and effective? Are they socially and morally acceptable? Will genetic changes harm the animal (or other animals) in any way? In subsequent sections, further divided into short chapters, Campbell describes projects connected to animal conservation, the restoration of extinct animals and damaged ecosystems, our food, our pets, and our own health and medicine. Each major section is followed by a spread on a specific topic: genetic engineering, cryobanking, synthetic biology, and efforts to improve humans. The conversational text is comfortably accessible, broken up with frequent topic headings and photographs and enhanced by the colorful design. The examples--from ligers and tigons in zoos to the titular glowing bunnies created in a French lab and pigs for human organ transplants--are intriguing. The writer's emphasis on animal welfare will resonate with his audience, and there is extensive backmatter for readers interested in going further. A controversial subject presented with verve that allows readers to make up their own minds."--Kirkus Reviews, "Divided into five parts, this fascinating, detailed text focuses on how genetic engineering could help animal conservation and the extinction crisis, restore damaged ecosystems, make agriculture more efficient and less polluting, create unusual and useful pets, and fight or eliminate disease in both animals and humans. . . . presents safety and ethical pros and cons, raises legal considerations, and asks guided questions but ultimately allows readers to decide for themselves."--Booklist, "A controversial subject presented with verve that allows readers to make up their own minds."--Kirkus Reviews, "Campbell's intriguing, easily digestible foray into animal gene editing, its effects on present and future scientific climates, and its contemplation on whether these practices are ethically responsible, practical, or inherently harmful proves thought-provoking. This enlightening work encourages readers to ask questions and conduct their own research, while maintaining that science continues evolving and changing faster than one can blink."--Publishers Weekly, "What do glowing bunnies, a chickenosaurus, and a liger all have in common? They are all real creatures resulting from humans trying to unlock the secrets of DNA and genetic modifications. Campbell introduces readers to a number of ways that humans are manipulating genetics, from inter species mating to attempting to bring back (or re-create) a chicken size dinosaur. His clear prose makes the highly technical subjects understandable. Additionally, his focus is less on how humans do this and more on why, encouraging readers to think about both intended and unintended consequences of playing with nature. Just because we CAN do something, Campbell suggests, doesn't mean we SHOULD. But, Campbell's book isn't simply an argument against genetic modification. In fact, he frequently points out he benefits to humans and the environment, while decrying fearmongering. Instead, he encourages readers to thoughtfully consider the reasons and possible consequences--for both humans and animals--for manipulating these complex systems. Back matter such as a glossary, resources, and index make this an excellent tool for research. Give this to students looking working on reports or just curious about current science research. Reviewer Rating: 4" -Children's Literature, "The book is written in a friendly, age-appropriate style with genetic engineering terms and procedures well defined. Young readers will enjoy popular culture references to Jurassic Park and Frankenstein that make the complicated subject matter more relatable. Colorful captioned photographs and larger font headings balance the text in each chapter. The work also aids future reading and reference with an extensive bibliography, source notes, and glossary. Libraries looking to update their science collections for middle grade students will want to consider this nicely packaged publication."--School Library Journal

Synopsis
Our brave new world is here. With modern genetic technologies, science fiction's "what if?" has become the scientist's "why not?" Bioengineering has the potential to remake animals in almost any way we can imagine, and it's being used to solve a range of urgent global problems, including climate change, species extinctions, the destruction of natural habitats, and human health issues. But just because we can do all these things, does that mean we should? In the pages of Glowing Bunnies!? you will encounter some of the strange and wonderful genetically modified animals of tomorrow. Learn why scientists are going to such lengths to mess with genes and what the ethical and health-related consequences might be. By understanding both the science and the stakes, you too can judge the potential of this budding science to save--or ruin--the world. Presented as a compendium of existing and proposed creatures, this book describes the animals being created, the scientific techniques involved, and each animal's purpose. Additionally, it addresses bioethics, unintended consequences, and animal welfare., A fun, factual middle-grade/YA book about new ventures in animal bioengineering by an award-winning author, Our brave new world is here.
