Product Description
iGenetics: A Mendelian Approach reflects the dynamic nature of modern genetics by emphasizing an experimental, inquiry-based approach with a solid treatment of many research experiments. The text is ideally suited for students who have had some background in biology and chemistry and who are interested in learning the central concepts of genetics. Problem solving is a major feature of the text and students have the opportunity to apply critical thinking skills to a variety of problems at the end of each chapter. Pedagogical features such as "Principal Points," at the beginning of each chapter, and "Keynotes," strategically placed throughout the chapter, are useful learning tools. The iGenetics CD-ROM and the companion website contain 25 activities and 59 narrated animations, all of which are based on text figures, to help students visualize complex processes and challenging concepts they encounter in the main text. An intense developmental effort, along with numerous third-party reviews of both text and media, ensure the highest degree of accuracy.

 Good Text Book September 27, 2005

I think this is one of my favorite text books that I've encountered to this point. It's wonderfully straight forward and has beautiful diagrams that clearly illustrate the subjects being taught. It's also very nice reading, which is more than I can say about most text books!

The book arrived within a week of ordering and was in the condition promised. New and still in plastic wrap. I'm very satisfied with the product and the service.

Like the solution manual, this book explains the fundamentals of genes in a way that other books have not....its a must have for any molecular biology major out there..

The actual condition of the textbook is better than its description. It does not states 6th edition, but it's published in 2006 though.
 Riddled with Errors April 8, 2008

I am currently using this book for an upper-level university course, and I don't believe it could be much worse. I am no geneticist, but I find errors on every other page and even in the accompanying solutions manual. My professor often mentions during class "Your book is wrong here" or "This is a typo" or "This is what they meant to say." I do realize that this is the first edition, but it seems almost as though the author wrote the book and never bothered to edit it. It's also quite wordy and usually a bore to read. Overall, the book stinks. Molecular Biology of the Cell 5 is more helpful in this class and it's not even a Genetics book.
