Editor-in-Chief: Genetics Macmillan Reference, 2003

Genetics is a four-volume encyclopedia designed for high school students, beginning college students, and the general public. Its 255 entries provide a state-of-the-art introduction to the vast range of topics within this most important and central field of biology. Topical areas include molecular genetics, inherited human diseases, biotechnology, ethical issues, experimental techniques, history of genetics, and careers. Entries were written almost exclusively by professionals in the field, and have been edited to meet the needs and reading level of high school students studying biology. It is extensively illustrated in full color. Most of the diagrams were designed by me and were specifically tailored to illustrate simply and clearly a difficult concept or central idea within the entry. It also contains a glossary and a comprehensive index. Read the Preface Read the reviews at Amazon
