„... succeeds in provoking students to think like geneticists... itsemphasis on foundational principles sets it apart from many of itscontemporaries. I heartily recommend it. Although the book isintended for advanced undergraduates, its analytical approach, combined with a strong emphasis on principles, could lend itself toreading by first-year students.“ Paul B. Rainey, Times HigherEducation Supplement, March 2004 „Necessarily the text is detailed and highly technical incontent, but the literary style is direct, lively andpersonal... Overall, this book is an accessible and well-presentedreference resource.“ Chris Clegg, Journal of BiologicalEducation, August 2003 „This is a book that you will want to own. It is the only textin which I have found definitive explanations of several keyconcepts that are presented in the course. The primary author, Scott Hawley, is an accomplished Drosophila geneticist who takesthe education of new geneticists very seriously.“ Steve Mount, University of Maryland „Geneticists are certain to go on devising further ingeniousscreens and methods for analysis, exploiting advances in technologyand novel ideas, but always building on the same basic strategies. This book should help to inspire new and deeper experimentation; Irecommend it strongly to any serious practitioner of genetics, andparticularly to any graduate student embarking on research ingenetics.“ Jonathan Hodgkin, University of Oxford, BioEssays, June 2004
