Human Genetics 10th Edition

This Book is the 10th Edition by Ricki Lewis. So she has it down Pat. Organization is excellent and it covers everything that I could think of. The glossary of terms is a big help too. Extensive use of images helps when words alone are not enough. I like it. My only problem is the font size is as bit small for me. But the book is already pretty massive. Increasing the Font size would make the book unwieldy. I got a very good USED paperback copy for an amazingly low price. Fast delivery too.

I ordered this book, used, before I even signed up for the free trial amazon student/prime and I don't think it cost me more than $60! Plus decent ship time considering how inexpensive it all was! Great buy! My book came in practically new condition with a hardly noticeable bend in the corner of the cover and two of the page corners were bent. I was VERY pleased considering I watched the mailman walk away right after shoving my poor book in our mailbox! I'm sure my book was perfect before that, so overall I made out like a bandit and I would highly recommend this product.

If your college has this book in one of its transferable credits or if you must make a choice between a course that has uses this book and a course like some introductory biology course - i say take the course with this book. That way youll know why anatomy, physiology, Ob/Gyn, heredity starts at the level of cells and not some bottom-down approach.

The background information is interesting and well-written, but I found the instructions cursory and vague. Worse, a number of important topics are neglected entirely.For example, say I wanted to endow apes with the power of human speech? Or give myself the abilities of a spider (including wall-climbing, web-spinning, and a mysterious "spider-sense")? Would I be able to learn how to do this by reading Human Genetics, by Ricki Lewis?No, I would not. (Three stars for the background information and the cute pictures on the cover.)

This was the right book at the best price. What more is there to say?

It's a textbook about genetics. Unless you are highly interested in genetics, this book is quite boring. The class was a requirement for my degree program, so I endured the term. It is not a user friendly textbook. Some areas could use some revising. It is hard to find definitions in the text at times.

Did this book come with the Connect access? I paid a lot of money for it and then as I'm using it and needing it for a class I don't see anywhere where there is a code or anything for Connect and I can go to the website and buy the ebook with Connect for $85.

I got this book for a college course in human genetics, and it is not just relevant, but very interesting! I actually want to read this book when I have a new chapter assignment. The text is easily understood, but it still has the substance necessary to successfully complete my course.

exactly as advertised and on time
