Summary:
Oxford University Press is proud to present GENES VII--the latest edition of Benjamin Lewin's best-selling textbook. This authoritative work provides an integrated account of the structure and function of genes and incorporates all the latest research in the field. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT REORGANIZATION TO DATE. The power of direct analysis of the genome has made a significant difference in the approach of GENES VII. In a departure from previous editions, which started with a traditional analysis of formal genetics, the new edition begins with the molecular properties of the gene itself. The text is now reorganized to begin with the concept of genes as a segment of DNA coding for protein, and then proceeds directly to the characterization of the genome in terms of its content of genes.

The organization of this book is horrible and the explanations are not student friendly. You could buy this book if you wanted to fill your bookshelves for aethetics reasons only, but if you want to learn about genes, get another book which is student friendly.

the best book
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
In my opinion it is the best book i have partly read by far and every time when i have a free time i intrestingly like to read this book. In fact, i have found it very usefull to undrestand basic meaning of celular and molecular phenomenons and genes.

Great book
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
This book is well written and provides an excellent introduction to the subject matter. It's a comprehensive text for anyone who wishes to gain a thorough exposure to the genes, genomes and gene regulation. However, this book does have it's drawbacks. Recent advances in genomics maybe covered on a later textbook. Perfect for an undergraduate or a beginning grad student. I suggest this book as a companion for a more comprehesive text such MBOC by alberts et al. If you are faced with a choice of either alberts or Genes VII, I suggest alberts. For the seasoned molecular biologist I urge you to look elsewhere.

Good
Customer Rating:  Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4
This book is useful but if your new to genetics and want a nice reference book that is easy to read I recommend "Concepts of Genetics" by Klug and Cummings. I have the 6th version and even though it is not as popular as Lewin's texts it reads well and has great pictures.

Lewin has excellent figures and gives you the basics in Genes VII. Recently he's gotten into this pay for info on his website. Buy the book but don't get involved in his website.
