"I will be looking for a new general text that does a good job presenting the basics - the clinical texts will not do that for me, nor will the texts that present human genetics as problems to be solved, one disease at a time. I would be interested in considering this text should it be published." Joan Rutila, Brandeis University "I DO agree with the author's two lines of thought, I think they are very good approaches and in texts that I have reviewed, I have not found such an organisation. If I were teaching a majors course with a lecture format, I would like such an approach." Rita Calvo, Cornell University Praise from reviews: The author has clearly done a great deal of research across a broad spectrum of genetic studies in finding the examples that he has chosen to illustrate concepts. I would like to adopt this text for my class, and I think it will help students learn how to read original research publications. - Professor Georgia Floyd Smith, Arizona State University The coverage of ethics, particularly the box regarding the human genome project, is excellent. These are the types of side-trips that make teaching fun. A text which relates "issues" to the material makes the material relevant for students while giving the instructor an opportunity to lead an interesting discussion. - Professor Ellen Kittler, UMass Medical School
