	New Clinical Genetics
	By: Andrew Read, Dian Donnai ISBN: 1904842313 Publisher: Scion Publishing Ltd Release Date: 30 January, 2007 Bioscience book rank: 284426	This is very good textbook in the field of medical genetics. It concentrates on clinical aspects of the specialty covering different areas in medical genetics. Each chapter starts with number of cases, which is very good idea, then covering the different aspects of diagnosis, molecular & cytogenetic genetics aspects of these cases, then goes further to cover the management & genetic counseling. I really enjoy reading it
	Molecular Genetics Mycobacteria

	Human Genetics, concepts and Applications: Case Workbook to accompany

	Management of Genetic Syndromes (Cassidy, Management of Genetic Syndromes)
	By: Suzanne B. Cassidy, Judith E. Allanson ISBN: 0471308706 Publisher: Wiley-Liss Release Date: 25 November, 2004 Bioscience book rank: 565567	"...a detailed practical guide for management of patients with genetic conditions...an asset to the bookshelf of any healthcare provider...also an excellent educational text..." (Journal of Genetic Counseling, Vol. 12, No. 4, August 2003) "...quite useful to anyone...interested in a taste of what emerging technologies in genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics can bring to bear on questions of potential importance in biomedical research." (American Journal of Human Genetics, Vol. 72, 2003) Cassidy and Allanson have assembled a talented group of authors to address the more common genetic disorders. The chapters are extremely well organized and each emphasizes not only diagnostic techniques and differential diagnosis, but also patient management. The generalist will find a wealth of practical information readily available and accessible. The clinical geneticist will discover and rediscover valuable "pearls" within this text. --Edward R.B. McCabe, Department of Pediatrics, Mattel Children's Hospital at UCLA
	The Emergence of Genetic Rationality: Space, Time, & Information in American Biological Science, 1870-1920 (In Vivo: the Cultural Mediations of Biomedical Science)

	The Strongest Boy in the World and Other Adventures in Genetics
	By: Philip R. Reilly ISBN: 0879698012 Publisher: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Release Date: 10 February, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 172041	This was overall a well written overview of the impact of genetic knowledge on both science and society. It is presented in the form of relatively short topic-based essays, selected and ordered (seemingly) randomly. I had to read this book as accessory reading for a cell biology class. While the book was certainly more interesting than a textbook and as a chemistry major/future doctor I found it very good, it is not something I would reccommend reading unless you actually have a desire to learn something more about genetics. This book is very nice because it is written with stories and personal notes from the author, although a bit biased at times. Not your typical genetics book. I really liked the book, and it was a required reading for a genetics class. The author is a physician, geneticist, lawyer, and story teller. Therefore, it is flows and is easy to read. It also contains lots of interesting medical and legal details/depth. I passed this book on to my family for them to read.
	Prostate Cancer: Biology, Genetics, and the New Therapeutics (Contemporary Cancer Research)

	The Calculus: A Genetic Approach
	By: Otto Toeplitz, David Bressoud ISBN: 0226806685 Publisher: University Of Chicago Press Release Date: 01 June, 2007 Bioscience book rank: 286483	I would find a good "genetic" approach to the calculus extremely valuable, and Toeplitz seems perfect for the job: a big German professor of the classical tradition who says all the right things in the preface, and who throws around quotations in Latin that he expects everyone to understand. So far so good. One is all the more dissapointed then when it turns out that the book simply isn't that good. It covers the calculus from the Greeks and stops after Newton (it seems that there was meant to be a second volume). The topics are the usual ones. Certainly one could learn a lot of calculus from this book, and certainly there are many interesting historical remarks, but the unity of the two does not reach the great heights we had hoped. One can achieve pretty much the same effect by simply pasting together a calculus history book with any old calculus textbook. This translation from the German by Luise Lange is superbly done. The book can be appreciated by high school level students who have an interest in math. I plan to use some of the examples on my web site which will employ math 101 and Visual Basic programming techniques....Leo JL...programmer at large
