Summary: Excellent Intro and MoreRating: 5

This is extremely well written introducton for undergraduates. I am using it as the backup since my instructor assigned Harwell et al's book, which is not nearly as well written. This book has excellent graphics, the whole book is well organized and well written.
Summary: great book, conciseRating: 5
This book covers genetics quite well its concise. It covers all the topics pretty well and also has plenty of genetic problems to make sure you know your stuff. I'd recommend getting the solutions book as well
Summary: decent book - satisfactory genetic textRating: 4
My class didn't use this text much as part of the course but when i read it i found it helpful - the reviews were well done and outlines helped cover the material.
Summary: I used this book for my lectures.Rating: 5
OK, let me put it simply.
I used this book to prepare for my lectures to 2nd year medical undergraduates- and I received outstanding feedback. The students just loved it!
Summary: A descent book for beginnersRating: 4
Before making any critics about this book I should stress upon the fact that the authors well deserve a four star rating for this most readable book, both for the writing style and for the contents. Almost everything written is clear, concise and well presented. The captions are of high quality and if you ever buy this book feel sure that you are not wasting your money! I am referring in particular to chapter 16: Genetics of Bacteria and Bacteriophages which in reality is quite tricky but here presented with simple words. You may not have to read it more than once for you will understand it right from the first lecture. For in-depth study though you might need something more advanced!However I did not really appreciate the way the fluctuation test of S.Luria and M.Delbruk was presented nor was the following work of J.Cairns and B.Hall in chapter 14: Gene mutation, DNA repair and Transposable elements. There seems to lack the true essence of it. Furthermore the existence of mutational hotspots is limited to a subsection only of chapter 14 and a few lines on the work of S.Benzer. Even B.Lewin in Genes VII gives a better treatment of mutational hotspots. Finally I would have expected a chapter on Mutations to talk about mutator mutations as possible ways to increase or decrease the spontaneous mutation rate but no such references were made.Despite these few things, if you love genetics or need an introductory course be sure that this book is meant for you!==Concepts of Genetics 8th Edition== Chapter bookmarked PDF with Cover (scanned, Premium Quality), Metainformation, info-file packed with 7z, 359 MB no pass
