Genetics is the newest of all sciences - nothing useful was known about inheritance until just over a century ago. Now genetics is exploding, and before long we will have the complete code, written in three thousand million letters of DNA, of what makes a human being.

Introducing Genetics takes us from the early work of Mendel to the discovery of DNA, the human gene map and the treatment of inborn disease. No one can afford to be ignorantof genetics. This book is the perfect introduction.

The book is fine and accurate in most regards

The book is fine and accurate in most regards. However, the book seems to have ignored the important field called Epigenetics.
Epigenetics is a vast study that is an essential aspect of modern genetics.

Not a serious book on genetics for those with any understanding at all of the subject. Like many museums, the content seems to be suitable for children.

A good basic introduction. The illustrations are easier to see in the printed version than in the kindle version.

genética comprimida

Reviewed in Spain on February 27, 2013

Este libro, como todos los que conozco de esta serie, es excelente, pero me temo no al alcance de cualquiera. Las ilustraciones, al menos a mí, no me parecen curiosamente lo más útil ni atraynete, aunque soy un profesional de la sanidad. En este sentido, los ilustradores españoles aventajan a los británicos o americanos y ahí está el inefable "Simiocracia".
Pero este pequeño libro, y ahí reside su dificultad, intrioduce a una enorme cantidad e conceptos genéticos en muy poco espacio. es muy comprimido y los conceptos gençeticos, leyes de mendel incluidas, que en sí son sencillas, requieren, creo, un poco más de espaci para ser entendidas. Si se conoce ya algo, el libro es smuy bueno, pero debe leeerse con atenció. No es una divulgación tan fácil, y no todo medico general o biólogo sabe todos los conceptos genéticos que contiene, algunos, bastante actualizados.
Añadamos que este librito, como casi todos los de esta colección, contiene además unas consideraciones político- morales sobre el tema que tratan En este caso, se inicia con las opiniones de tres hombres muy diferentes como G. Bernard Shaw, Wisnton Churchill y Adolf Hitler, sobre las ideas genéticas y eugenèsicas de su tiempo, con el resultado, cierto por otro lado, de que los tres opinaban algo muy parecido: los sujetos inferiores sobran en la sociedad. De ahí a ciertas practicas como las del nazismo, por supuesto hay un paso muy grande, porque esos tres hombres fieron prácticamente contemporaneos y estonces este tipo de doctrina eugenésica estaba de moda, seguramente porque entonces la natalidad en los paises industrializados era muy grande y no se tenía gran respeto al niño, que se reproducía fácilmente si moría, mientras una nueva máquina era el mayor de los bienes. Hoy, estas opiniones han cambiado aunque algunos las mantienen.

Introducing Genetics gives very good awareness about genes and the silent communication existing between them to unite and differentiate both at the same time which is really miraculous. I think every one who is novice to this kind of knowledge should read this book to have minimum awareness in Genetics.
