1. Human Heredity : Principles and Issues (with
InfoTrac) by Michael Cummings, Paperback: 544 pages,
Publisher: Brooks Cole
The clear, readable, concise, highly polished and
refined writing is a traditional strength of this book.
Complex topics and important concepts are presented with
great clarity and precise logic, without oversimplifying
the topic. In this beautifully illustrated and
thoroughly revised new edition, Michael Cummings guides
students toward understanding the hows and whys of
genetic topics and new discoveries. Using an accessible
writing style to explain complex concepts, Cummings
includes the right balance of detail at the right level
for nonscience students. In addition, he helps student
see the social, cultural, and ethical implications
associated with the use of genetic technology. In light
of the recent developments in these fields (completion
of the human genome), Cummings has incorporated such
newly acquired "knowledge" and the resulting modern
methods and& technology not only in Chapter 13, but also
throughout the book, wherever applicable.
2. Current Perspectives in Genetics: Insights and
Applications in Molecular, Classical, and Human
Genetics, 2000 Edition by Shelly Cummings, Paperback:
170 pages, Publisher: Brooks Cole
This book comprises 33 articles obtained from a
variety of publications, both scholarly and popular. It
is intended to help you gain a basic understanding of
genetics and its varied applications in the real world.
excellent for people that are undergrad science majors,
medical students, and physicians that want to know more
about this most important field.
3. The Science of Genetics by Alan G. Atherly,
Jack R. Girton, John F. McDonald, Hardcover: 704 pages,
Publisher: Saunders College Pub
Textbook for undergraduate biological science students.
It clearly presents the fundamental principles of
genetics, with an emphasis on the problem-solving skills
crucial to understanding the complexity of genetics.
Intended for undergraduate students in the biological
sciences, it is designed to ground students in the
basics of genetics, yet also enable them to explore more
advanced and specialized subjects. Although the text
does not presume an advanced knowledge of biology and
chemistry, it does contain numerous examples of how the
study of modern genetics rests upon these basic life
sciences.
4. Forensic DNA Typing : Biology, Technology, and
Genetics behind STR Markers by John M. Butler,
Hardcover: 688 pages, Publisher: Academic Press
The second edition of this highly successful book
includes the latest information on DNA typing systems, Y
chromosome material and mitochondrial DMNA markers. New
chapters cover statistical genetic analysis of DNA data,
an emerging field of interest to DNA research. Several
chapters on statistical analysis of short tandem repeat
(STR) typing data have been contributed by Dr. George
Carmody, a well-respected professor in forensic
genetics. Specific examples make the the concepts of
population genetics more understandable. The only book
available that specifically covers detailed information
on mitochondrial DNA and the Y chromosome; The only book
available that specifically covers detailed information
on mitochondrial DNA and the Y chromosome - Chapters
cover the topic from introductory level right up to
cutting edge research; High-profile cases are addressed
throughout the book, near the sections dealing with the
science or issues behind these cases.
5. Genes VIII by Benjamin Lewin, Hardcover: 1056
pages, Publisher: Prentice Hall
The unique feature of this book's first edition was the
presentation of a unified approach to the molecular
biology of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The success of
this approach, and its continuation, is the result of a
long string of discoveries showing similarities in
solutions to biological problems that often extend
across many or even all species. A six-part organization
covers genes, proteins, gene expression, DNA, the
nucleus, and cells. For individuals in the science
community interested in genetics.Menu: Products>Book Store>Science Books>Genetics Books for College &
