5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent intorduction to genetics
I knew almost nothing about genetics prior to reading this book. Now I can talk about things like genotypes and phenotypes with confidence. One of the best parts about this book is that the author takes the time to discuss the history and people behind this fascinating topic.

I recommend this book for anybody wanting to learn about genetics.

1.0 out of 5 stars More of a glossary
I'm thankful to the publisher for sending me a free copy of this book, but "teach yourself" is not the name I would give it. Self-education is impossible with it unless you happen to learn in alphabetical order. The book is a glossary, not a self-tutor.

If you would like a systematic learning resource, the Schaum's outlines tend to be at least decent...

(Now I wonder what's going on with this site. The ISBN number of this book (0-658-01208-8) is the same as the one in my hand, but the "look inside" pages are completely different. Either the publisher or Amazon has made a mistake.)
