Book Reviews of Essential Genetics: A Genomic Perspective
Book Review: Unclear and unnecessarily complicated
Summary: 2 Stars
Though I find genetics fascinating, this book is not good at explaining concepts. The meanings of many vocab words were not apparent through context, and there were numerous errors in the problems and answer key. The thousands of attention-grabbing real-life situations and hooks about genetics that could have been used to open up sections and chapters weren't used. Rather, the text is dense, boring, and unclear. I found myself consistently referring back to my biology book (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0321543270/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_3?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=0130819239&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1P6ECN16NTDD3QF50GHR) which is far better at presenting concepts, both through the text and visually.
Summary of Essential Genetics: A Genomic Perspective
Completely updated to reflect new discoveries and current thinking in the field, the fourth edition of Essential Genetics is designed for the shorter, less comprehensive introductory course in genetics. The text is written in a clear, lively, and concise manner, and includes many special features that make the book "user friendly." Topics were carefully chosen to provide a solid foundation for understanding the basic processes of gene transmission, mutation, expression, and regulation. The text also helps students develop skills in problem solving, achieve a sense of the social and historical context in which genetics has developed, and become aware of the genetic resources and information available through the Internet.Biology Books
