This introductory college level textbook covers the basic processes of gene transmission, mutation, expression, and regulation. Hartl (Harvard U.) and Jones (Carnegie Mellon U.) present an integrated view of the modern world of genetics, treating classical, molecular, and population genetics as unified subdisciplines within the field. Modern and historical experimental methods are examined, along with the discipline's historical and social context. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Reveals the connections between genetics and specific diseases Understand the science and the ethics behind genetics Want to know more about genetics? This non-intimidating guide gets you up to speed on all the fundamentals. From dominant and recessive inherited traits to the DNA double-helix, you get clear explanations in easy-to-understand terms. Plus, you'll see how people are applying genetic science to fight disease, develop new products, solve crimes . . . and even clone cats. Discover: What geneticists do How traits are passed on How genetic counseling works The basics of cloning The role of DNA in forensics The scoop on the Human Genome Project

A major debate in anthropology concerns the relationship betweenanatomically modern humans and earlier "archaic" humans includingthe Neandertals. What was the origin of modern humans? Did we ariseas a new species in Africa 200,000 years ago and then replacearchaic human populations outside of Africa, or are our originspart of a single evolving lineage extending back over the past twomillion years? In addition to fossil and archaeological evidence,anthropologists have increasingly turned to using genetic data onliving populations to address this question. Patterns of geneticvariation within and between living human populations are felt tocontain clues as to our species' evolutionary history, and providea reflection of the past. This book reviews the modern human origins debate focusing on thegenetic evidence relating to our origins, including geneticvariation in living humans and recent discoveries of ancient DNAfrom fossil specimens. Following a brief introduction to theproblem and a review of evolutionary genetics, the book focuses ongene trees and the search for a common ancestor, genetic diversitywithin populations, genetic distances between populations, the useof genetic data to reconstruct ancient demography, and NeandertalDNA. The main point of the text is that although the genetic dataare often compatible with a replacement model, they are alsocompatible with some multiregional models. The concluding chaptermakes the case that modern human origins are mostly, but notexclusively, out of Africa.

Harvard Univ., Boston. MA. Textbook focusing on the basic principles of genetics. Emphasizes the genetic implications of biological phenomena and minimizes the details of cell biology and biochemistry. Provides a broad understanding of genetics while discussing the issues of contempor- ary societal interests. Previous edition: c1994. Color format.

LIGHTNING FAST SHIPPING! A heavily used, but still working copy. Coffee stain and wrinkling to the edge of the pages when a tired undergrad fell asleep and knocked their cup over on their books. The binding and pages of the book have been reinforced with tape, has tape and stickers on the cover, as well as lots of notes (some of the answers in the learning activities may be filled in) on the pages. Definitely not pretty, but it's a working copy at a great price that ships fast. ~ Book does NOT contain an access code or CD/DVD.

An extension of the 1986 edition to include higher organisms, focusing on how an organism uses its genes to direct its growth. New chapters assess how well the lambda model can explain gene control in eukaryotes, and the elaborations necessary to explain more complex systems. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.

The Genetic Basis of Evolutionary Change is about the core of population genetics - the nature of genetic variation and changes in genetic variation. Topics covered include the nature of variation, the measurement of variation, multilocus dynamics and speciation. Particular attention is paid to methodological questions and to making clear the limitations of the models used. Although many of the details have been outdated by the advances of the last twenty years, particularly in molecular genetics, this is a classic of the field, and probably still required reading for population geneticists. -- Danny Yee

Here is a provocative work that challenges our common assumptions about nature and science. It is a book for all those who want to question and more deeply understand the biological revolution of the late twentieth century. Clearly written, well-illustrated, and without unnecessary technical jargon, Holdrege employs fascinating examples to show how living organisms develop and exist within the context of their environment. He asserts that genes alone cannot determine organisms because their effects are always qualified by the contexts within which the organisms live. With a unique and probing perspective on contemporary science, Holdrege shows how scientific theory and practice inevitably fuse to produce the systems that will ultimately create our future, and he questions our understanding of the organisms we manipulate through genetic engineering and the consequences of such manipulation. In an age of expanding biotechnology and an ever greater capacity to reshape life on Earth, this book offers a profound and complex vision of nature. Holdrege gives us a means for establishing a more conscious and responsible connection to the world around us.

NOTE: Access Code is NOT INCLUDEDWith Genetics: A Conceptual Approach, Ben Pierce brings a master teacher’s experiences to the introductory genetics textbook, clarifying this complex subject by focusing on the big picture of genetics concepts and how those concepts connect to one another.   The new edition features Pierce's signature writing style, relevant applications, student-friendly art, and emphasis on problem-solving, while incorporating the latest trends in genetics research. The new edition text and LaunchPad media work closely together for a seamless experience for both instructors and students.

Genetic Genealogy in Practice, the first workbook on genetic genealogy, the book provides family historians and genealogists who have just begun to explore genetic genealogy practical, easy to understand information that they can apply to their research. Readers learn the basic concepts of genetic genealogy. They then build on that knowledge as they study the testing, analysis, and application of Y-DNA, X-DNA, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), and autosomal DNA (atDNA) to reach and support genealogical conclusions. Each chapter includes exercises with answer keys for hands-on practice.

GENETICS AND GENOMICS FOR NURSING brings together the genetics and genomics knowledge nurses need to provide safe and effective care in today’s “genomic era.” It teaches through small, modular units, each with pretests, section quizzes, and post-tests. Answers are provided to help students check their knowledge, and Emerging Evidence and Critical Thinking checkpoints encourage them to apply it. The text first places modern genetics in context, introduces its essential principles, and outlines its deep ethical, legal, social, and public policy implications. Next, readers learn how to take family genetic histories and assess risks; utilize immunogenetics and cancer genetics in cancer prevention and treatment; apply genetics in public health promotion; recognize the role of genes in psychiatric illnesses and in aging; and much more.
