The first edition introduces molecular virology through chapter-based narratives on virus families (e.g., bacteriophages, RNA and DNA viruses, retroviruses). It emphasizes replication pathways, structural biology, virus–host interplay, immune defense, antiviral therapeutics, and the use of viruses as research tools . Designed for undergraduates and early graduate students, it presents concept…
This interdisciplinary volume assembles essays by prominent philosophers, ethicists, and legal scholars examining conceptual, methodological, and ethical challenges in genetic research on violence and criminal conduct. It explores the complexity of nature vs. nurture, limits of genetic explanations, and implications for moral and legal responsibility. The collection bridges science and public p…
Genetics: Analysis and Principles offers an experimental, inquiry-based introduction to genetics. Designed for a one-semester undergraduate course, each chapter integrates real experiments to illustrate genetic concepts and the scientific method. Topics include: Mendelian inheritance, chromosomal behavior, linkage Molecular genetics: DNA/RNA structure, replication, transcription, translat…
A clear and comprehensive presentation of evolutionary genetics, updated from its 1989 first edition. Includes models, theory, mathematical approaches, and problem sets. New chapters address molecular genetics and reconstructing evolutionary history, with revisions on game theory and host–parasite interactions
A concise introduction to population genetics, covering statistical foundations, Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, genetic drift, selection, mating systems, polygenic traits, and speciation. Appropriate for undergraduate students or as a reference for geneticists.
This Darwinian biology textbook introduces key concepts—population genetics, ecology, evolution, systematics, morphology—using an engaging “magazine-style” format aimed at sophomores and juniors. It emphasizes the interplay between organism and environment to prepare students for advanced topics .
A pedagogical text aimed at introductory genetics courses. Focuses on core concepts and problem-solving without overwhelming detail. Includes clear explanations, abundant diagrams, and end-of-chapter review problems. Reflects decades of teaching experience.
An introductory yet richly detailed textbook that blends core concepts of molecular biology with the experimental history behind their discovery. Covers topics from gene structure and function to replication, transcription, translation, DNA technology, and genomics. Includes approximately 75+ experimental methods woven into narrative examples. Aimed at intermediate undergraduate and early gradu…
