As a Ph.D student in biochemistry, I found this book to be a very useful and comprehensive review. Also, I found it to be an excellent source for people who prefer reading diagrams and figures over long and boring texts. Over all, I recommend it for any one involved in biomedical studies or research. Other excellent books from the same publisher include color atlas of biochemistry and color atlas of physiology.

This is a great book for both beginners and experts in the field of medical genetics. It is well illustrated that makes it very easy to understand one of the advanced and rapid growing field of medicine.

The book is a concise, up to date review of medical genetics. Those of us that love to see a picture along with an explanation will enjoy this book. Certainly, you won't get everything from it ... I personally used it for review. There are several more extensive books out there for your reading and learning pleasure, like Thompson & Thompson. Nonetheless, for a quick overview, or a brush up of info, this book is just great.

This book is a very good desk reference of genetic terminology. There are useful illustrations and references after each section, and wonderful "quick reference" tables in the back of the book.

I found this book to be extremely helpful in my Molecular Diagnostics course and other courses as well that dealt with genetic concepts. Includes a really interesting time line and the history of genetics and genetic procedures. Does not go into a lot of detail, but simply gives definitions, procedures and concepts in a easy to follow way. If your regular genetics text is too much, try this book to supplement the text. Jammed full of information in a straight forward manner that is easy to understand, full of diagrams, and photos. I love this little book! I would never have gotten through my course without it! Also suitable for someone, not a student, just someone wanting to understand a bit more about genetics.

Book was exactly as described.....very good condition! I did well to purchase from Amazon.com!

this is a good reference, but is a bit terse and is not the answer to my genetic woes.
