Paperback. Condition: New. This refreshingly clear layperson's overview of genetics shows how heredity actually works and how it is studied in plants and animals, clearly explaining these concepts without an overload of technical jargon. The author devotes separate chapters to such popular topics as: the genetic differences between males and females, the potential effects of radiation on the human genome, eating irradiated or genetically modified foods, cloning, genetic therapy, stem-cell research, nature vs. nurture, and how genes are related to many diseases, psychological disturbances, and possibly other behaviors. The book concludes by addressing common misconceptions about genetics and emphasizing the discipline's potential for curing some diseases, extending human lifespan, enhancing medicine and agriculture, and generally improving society.

First Edition
Hard Back. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Printing. 337 Pages Indexed. White boards with red spine lettering and pointed corners. No defects noted.Interior text pages are flawless. In this refreshing and entertaining guide, distinguished geneticist Richard V. Kowles explains the importance of genetics-the science of inheritance and physical and chemical traits-and examines its broad applications to just about every area of life. As Dr. Kowles demonstrates, it really is no exaggeration to say that genetics is everywhere. Kowles begins by leading readers through the science involved in genetic research to show how heredity actually works and how it is studied in plants and animals, clearly explaining these concepts without an overload of technical jargon. He then turns to the many applications of genetics in our daily lives. Separate chapters are devoted to such popular topics as the potential effects of radiation on our chromosomes; eating irradiated or genetically modified foods; creating pest-resistant plants; gene therapy; nature versus nurture; and how genes are related to many diseases, and possibly psychological disturbances and behaviors. If you have ever considered why it would be wise not to mate with a close relative, how Dolly the cloned sheep got her name, or what it took to make seedless watermelons, The Wonder of Genetics will answer these questions and many more.

Condition: As New. International Edition. The principle objective of this book is to help undergraduate students in the analysis of genetic problems. Many students have a great deal of difficulty doing genetic analysis, and the book will be useful regardless of which genetics text is being used. Most texts provide some kinds of problems and answers: few, if any, however, show the students how to actually solve the problem. Often the student has no idea how the answer was derived. This work emphasizes solutions, not just answers. The strategy is to provide the student with the essential steps and the reasoning involved in conducting the analysis. Throughout the book, an attempt is made to present a balanced account of genetics. 496 pp.
