"This latest edition of A Dictionary of Genetics is not a
dictionary in the usual sense, but a fascinating compendium of
useful knowledge, historical tidbits, and little known facts about
all aspects of genetics, cell biology, molecular biology, and
development. In a new feature, the authors list female scientists
by both first and last names, making it easier to identify their
important contributions to modern biology." -- Joseph G. Gall,
Department
of Embryology, Carnegie Institution of Washington
"A Dictionary of Genetics has been, since its inception, an
invaluable reference tool for faculty, students, and the interested
amateur. The breadth of coverage supported by precise wording makes
this one of the most reliable genetics texts around, essential for
a quick in-depth consultation. The eighth edition builds on this
tradition with new and updated entries and will not disappoint the
loyal fans of this great book!" -- Ana Campos, Department of
Biology, McMaster University
"A fascinating collection. The chronology of biological discoveries
that is provided in an appendix provides a true sense of the
excitement and rapid pace of progress in modern biology." -- Paul
Lasko, Department of Biology, McGill University
"The most useful book on my genetics bookshelf! I recommend this
well-organized and easy to read reference to students and faculty
alike." -- Susanne M. Gollin, Graduate School of Public Health,
