Description
The fourth edition of this classical reference book can once again be relied upon to present a cohesive and up-to-date exposition of all aspects of human and medical genetics. Human genetics has become one of the main basic sciences in medicine, and molecular genetics is increasingly becoming a major part of this field. This new edition integrates a wealth of new information - mainly describing the influence of the molecular revolution - including the principles of epigenetic processes which together create the phenotype of a human being. Other revisions are an improved layout, sub-division into a larger number of chapters, as well as two-colour print throughout for ease of reference, and many of the figures are now in full colour.For graduates and those already working in medical genetics.
Review:
...should be essential reading for all geneticists. Reading the contents alone sparked a sense of anticipation that made this book essential bedtime reading! ... -there's nothing boring here. Heredity ...a classic textbook and compendium of information. It is, therefore, a distinct pleasure to open the third edition... Trends in GeneticsFrom the reviews of the fourth edition: A series of high level reviews, produced with the help of 76 co-authors. ... There is a welcome emphasis on formal genetics, which sets this book apart from most others. ... This is a handsome book, printed on good quality paper, well bound, and generally produced to Springer's customary high standard. ... It will presumably mainly end up in libraries ... . Anybody needing to prepare a lecture on one of the topics covered would be very glad to find a copy there. --- (Andrew Read, Human Genetics, Vol. 128, 2010)
