I would recommend this as an introductory genetics textbook for every university that teaches basic genetics. There is enough material in this book to allow individual instructors to pick and choose which chapters and which subjects they would like to cover, without having to sacrafice anything. If you buy this book you have it all. It has chapters on basic genetics, chromosome mechanics, human genetic diseases, population genetics, genetic engineering, forensics, molecular biology, and biotechnology. No subject is neglected.
Every chapter includes a problem solving section with solved problems.
The Language of the Genes by Steve Jones Genetic engineering tells us a lot about the evolution of man. In The Languages of the Genes, Steve Jones examines the social issues that go along with genetics. This revised edition will appeal to anyone wanting an introduction to genetics and the latest developments on the subject. This is the controversial question behind The Meanings of the Gene, Public Debates about Human Heredity. Author Celeste Michelle Condit charts the rhetoric and ideology affecting the advancement of this science throughout the 20th century.
