For quite some time textbooks have steered the teaching of genetics down a fairly narrow path - transmissions genetics first, followed by molecular genetics. In Genetics: The Continuity of Life, Fairbanks and Andersen modernize the study of genetics for students. With a clear, robust style, the authors approach genetics at its most fundamental molecular level, building on students' previous exposure from other courses. Once the molecular concepts are in place, transmission genetics is more easily understood. The result is a textbook that reflects the way geneticists think about solving genetics problems in a completely integrative manner. Students relate to the organization and are able to grasp the larger concepts and their applications.
Great for Undergrads.
| Customer Rating: | | I am currently taking two biology classes at BYU, both of which use portions of this book, and I have found it to be very straight-forward and useful. Although some may say that I am being preferential since Dr. Fairbanks is a professor here at BYU, I'm not-- this book far outperforms the other texts we have and use, including the much lauded Molecular Cell Biology by Lodish. Dr. Fairbanks's book is well-written, contains clear, concise and easy to understand diagrams and his writing style brings genetics to life. Even a Freshman like I can easily dive into this book and understand the world of genetics. Furthermore, his choice to teach the molecular basis of genetics first is very logical and provides a solid background to later ideas like recombination and epistasis. |
