4.0 out of 5 stars
Nicely written, some VERY helpful diagrams,
By A Customer
This review is from: Genetics: Principles and Analysis (Hardcover)
Genetics is confusing. True or false? Genetics is quite enjoyable. True or false?The answer can be true to either question, depending on which book you use to learn genetics for the first time. Fortunately for me, our Biology department @BU chose Prof. Hartl's "Genetics." The book comes with nice diagrams to demonstrate certain concepts such as maternal effect and the Hardy Weinberg principle. Of course, this book isn't perfect; it could use some improvements. Chapter 12--especially the section on bicoid genes in drosophila--took a while to slog through. I suppose Prof. Hartl tried his best here, but this topic is confusing to begin with. It would have helped if pg 530-541 were rewritten. (I know that sounds very vague and fuzzy, but something about those pages just didn't click like other sections of the book). Even if your Bio department doesn't use this version of "Genetics," I would recommend treating it as a reference book. Good luck with genetics! Believe me, it CAN be fun and interesting.... -TheDeliman ps: To be honest, the GeNETics sections at the end of each chapter were quite useless. Readers won't read much if they were written out of the Fifth Edition.... :)

Good Textbook,

This review is from: Genetics: Principles and Analysis (Hardcover)
Unfortunately I sold this book during undergrad once my genetics course was over. Now at Medical School, I am rebuying it cause I know it works. Good explanations, pictures, ect. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a straight explanation...it's great if you are not a research based person.
