内容简介 在线阅读本书

This second edition of a very successful text reflects the tremendous pace of human genetics research and the demands that it places on society to understand and absorb its basic implications. The human genome has now been officially mapped and the cloning of animals is becoming a commonplace scientific discussion on the evening news. Join authors Julia Richards and Scott Hawley as they examine the biological foundations of humanity, looking at the science behind the sensation and the current and potential impact of the study of the genome on our society.

The Human Genome, Second Edition is ideal for students and non-professionals, but will also serve as a fitting guide for the novice geneticist by providing a scientific, humanistic, and ethical frame of reference for a more detailed study of genetics.

New in this edition:
· 60% new material, including data from the Human Genome Project and the latest genetics and ethics discussions
· Several new case studies and personal stories that bring the concepts of genetics and heredity to life
· Simplified treatment of material for non-biology majors
· New full-color art throughout the text
· New co-author, Julia Richards, joins R. Scott Hawley in this revision
作者简介 Julia E. Richards (PhD, Genetics, University of Wisconsin) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences and on the faculty of the Department of Epidemiology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. She teaches introductory genetics to graduate students in the university’s School of Public Health. Her research program at the Kellogg Eye Center emphasizes inherited eye diseases and she has written more than 50 scientific articles on genes that cause especially complex disorders such as glaucoma.

R. Scott Hawley (PhD, Genetics, University of Washington) is an Investigator at the Stowers Institute for Biomedical Research, Kansas City, Missouri, and a Professor of Molecular Biosciences at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. He spent ten years on the faculty at the University of California at Davis and nine years at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He has taught human genetics to undergraduates, both majors and non-majors in biology, graduate students, and medical students. His research interests include the causes and origin of birth defects and the biology of meiosis. He has published three genetics books and more than 75 scientific articles.

"This second edition of a very successful text reflects the tremendous pace of human genetics research and the demands that it places on society to understand and absord its basic implications." -BIOWORLD, 2006 "The clarity of writing and thought in The Human Genome, A User's Guide makes an understanding of genetics and its impact in modern society accessible to everyone." -Bruce Chase, University of Nebraska at Omaha "It is easy to read, well thought-out, and full of good examples that clearly explain some of the more difficult concepts in modern genetics." -Richard K. Wilson, Washington University "The authors have done a superb job of identifying the key concepts and breaking them down into understandable and relevant explanations..." -Neil Lamb, Emory University "This is an excellent version of classical human genetics for sophomore level science students or for all levels of non-science majors." -John Merriam, University of California at Los Angeles "It is enjoyable to read, clear, and accurate... The first edition was excellent but this one is even better." -Philip Meneely, Haverford College

TERRY HASSOLD, Case Western Reserve University
"...a wonderful addition to the human genetics landscape." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

STEPHANIE SHERMAN, Emory University School of Medicine
"This textbook relates the WOW! aspects of human genetics...It will be a valuable resource for teachers and students who want to, and need to, understand human genetics at a basic level so as to unravel new findings reported in the lay press on a daily basis." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

ROBERT HOLMGREN, Northwestern University
"The examples are excellent and the topics covered are just the ones you'd like to see...There is a real need for a text on this topic that goes beyond the very introductory concepts, but is not so advanced as to be unusable outside an advanced genetics course. This book clearly fits that need." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
