Shipping was prompt and the condition of the book was great. "...I would definitely recommend this book to other genetic counsellors and health-care professionals working directly with hereditary cancer syndromes." (Health Expectations) "If you are counseling patients about cancer, this book belongs on your bookshelf. From student to healthcare professional, novice to expert, Katherine Schneider's book offers essential information about the clinical and genetic aspects of cancer, valuable guidance in risk assessment and helpful strategies for counseling patients. Katherine Schneider's succinct summaries of hereditary cancer syndromes and tables will be of great benefit in generating differential diagnoses, determining genetic testing options and what cancer screening is indicated. The case examples nicely tie together key concepts, address ethical dilemmas, illustrate the nuances of counseling and the psychological impact information has on patients and their families. "Counseling About Cancer: Strategies for Genetic Counseling" is truly a landmark book in this rapidly evolving field." -- Wendy Uhlmann, M.S., University of Michigan

	Behavioral Genetics in the Postgenomic Era
	By: Robert Plomin, John C. Defries, Ian W. Craig, Peter McGuffin ISBN: 1557989265 Publisher: American Psychological Association (APA) Release Date: 15 August, 2002 Bioscience book rank: 783763	The book is a rather good introductory book upon behavioral genetics, covering various emotional and behavioral disorders. It is stimulating and interesting, and very academic in nature. To a reader searching for practical implication of behavioral genetics, there may be little appointment. No matter what, I do agree that the behavioral genetics is a subject that every psychologist, or even every person, should have some ideas about this new development in science.
	Basic Concepts In Medical Genetics
	By: Marshall Horwitz ISBN: 0071345000 Publisher: McGraw-Hill/Appleton & Lange Release Date: 21 January, 2000 Bioscience book rank: 851879	The book covers topics in a minimalist fashion and at an undergraduate level rather than the level expected for practitioners who will be expected to use and understand medical genetics and its impact on molecular medicine during their careers. No references are given for those who wish to explore in more detail. For people who wish to explore the "why" and "how" of medical genetics, other books are better. For the student who wishes to ensure a basic level of competency for USMLE Step 1, it's OK and reasonably priced. Whether this is your first exposure to the topic, or you need a quick review, this is an excellent book. With clear explanations, key concepts separated into boxes and many examples, this is the perfect all-purpose genetics text.

	Barbara McClintock: Genius of Genetics (Great Minds of Science)
	By: Naomi E. Pasachoff ISBN: 0766025055 Publisher: Enslow Publishers Release Date: June, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 716859
	Evolutionary Genetics
	By: John Maynard Smith ISBN: 0198502311 Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA Release Date: 09 April, 1998 Bioscience book rank: 787703	The writing is clear and the derivations, for the most part, straightforward. (The derivations of mutational heritability and Fisher's Fundamental Theorem are still somewhat obscure to me.) The problems are also excellent; the computations and manipulations are not overly laborious, but you do have to think and exercise a sound conceptual grasp of the material. Make sure you know first-year calculus before tackling this book. I am a Physicist trying to learn a bit about Genetics. I take the book seriously and I solve the problems and the computer proyects that the author poses. The book is highly readable and interesting (just some few type mistakes). This I warranty since I have had not the need of much consulting outside the book and this is not my field of research!!. The author goes from the basics up to some remarks of unsolved problems and controversy.
