No defects noted.Interior text pages are flawless. In this refreshing and entertaining guide, distinguished geneticist Richard V. Kowles explains the importance of genetics-the science of inheritance and physical and chemical traits-and examines its broad applications to just about every area of life. As Dr. Kowles demonstrates, it really is no exaggeration to say that genetics is everywhere. Kowles begins by leading readers through the science involved in genetic research to show how heredity actually works and how it is studied in plants and animals, clearly explaining these concepts without an overload of technical jargon.
