4.0 out of 5 stars
Much room for improvement, but better than most in the field
The new edition has not rectified numerous misprints and calculation blunders, which had plagued its predecessors. Still, in the clarity of presentation and information layout the book has few rivals in the field. Let us face the truth: Geneticists are notoriously maladroit at trying to get their concepts across. It is a sobering experience trying to read textbooks...

Needs an editor!!!
This book, for all of Peter Russell's genetic knowledge, is atrocious. This book (Fourth Edition) is full of mistakes in practice problems, answers to those problems, and in figures and general lay out. I would suggest that the publishers hire some editors to review the final draft of the new edition because for the money I spent on this text, it is not worth it.

By A Customer
This review is from: Genetics (5th Edition) (Hardcover)
The new edition has not rectified numerous misprints and calculation blunders, which had plagued its predecessors. Still, in the clarity of presentation and information layout the book has few rivals in the field. Let us face the truth: Geneticists are notoriously maladroit at trying to get their concepts across. It is a sobering experience trying to read textbooks of other authors. Russell's text is not perfect, but on the brighter side is is solidly written and well illustrated. Until I see someone come up with a better comprehensive review of Genetics, Peter Russell will definitely remain my first choice as a recommended reference text.// Alexander Talalaev. Cancer Research
