Completely updated to reflect new discoveries and current thinking in the field, the fourth edition of Essential Genetics is designed for the shorter, less comprehensive introductory course in genetics. The text is written in a clear, lively, and concise manner, and includes many special features that make the book "user friendly." Topics were carefully chosen to provide a solid foundation for understanding the basic processes of gene transmission, mutation, expression, and regulation. The text also helps students develop skills in problem solving, achieve a sense of the social and historical context in which genetics has developed, and become aware of the genetic resources and information available through the Internet.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Genetically Fun,
By A Customer
This review is from: Essential Genetics (Paperback)
This was a book that I dreaded to read for a college class. I opened it and stared at the cover with dread. However, I was very surprised to find that it was easy to understand and even.....interesting? Yes, I admit, I fell in love with the subject of genetics by reading this book. It had real world applications and provided many sample questions. The pictures were great and a perfect addition to the entire book. I really enjoyed this book.

This review is from: Essential Genetics: A Genomic Perspective (Paperback)
I was a little sketchy when I saw how cheap this book was priced when I ordered it but thought it would be worth a shot. And it was certainly worth it! It's in good condition and as a college kid, saving money is the best! :)

This review is from: Essential Genetics: A Genomic Perspective (Paperback)
Adequate book for my Genetics class, even though it's an edition behind the one recommended.
