"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

"...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.
