Contemporary Genetics for Easy Reading By A Customer This book is good for those who want to learn about genetics without reading a tedious, text-ridden book. The diagrams are simple enough to understand without being too involved. The text, usually complete, lacks in some areas. That's why I rated it a "4" instead of "5". I would recommend this book for graduate students in the "Biomedical sciences" and also dedicated medical students want a strong background in genetics. See all 1 customer reviews...
