Genetics

The new edition has not rectified numerous misprints and calculation blunders, which had plagued its predecessors. Still, in the clarity of presentation and information layout the book has few rivals in the field. Let us face the truth: Geneticists are notoriously maladroit at trying to get their concepts across. It is a sobering experience trying to read textbooks of other authors. Russell's text is not perfect, but on the brighter side is is solidly written and well illustrated. Until I see someone come up with a better comprehensive review of Genetics, Peter Russell will definitely remain my first choice as a recommended reference text.// Alexander Talalaev. Cancer Research
