Review
"This latest edition is a welcome update of the most useful and reliable reference work in the area." Joseph G. Gall, Department of Embryology, Carnegie Institution of Washington
"King, Stansfield and Mulligan defeat the notion of a dull dictionary. If you look up a definition you get carried away and find dozens of other things that you want to read about. It is equally useful and stimulating for young students and old timers working in the field." Walter J. Gehring, Division of Cell Biology, University of Basel
"There are many new terms, modifications of some previous definitions, plus very worthwhile expansions of the previous appendices. The authors' meticulous editing and succinct writing provides a well organized global coverage of genetics, cellular, developmental, molecular, and evolutionary biology." Ellen Rasch, J. M. Quillen College of Medicine, East Tennessee State University
"A Dictionary of Genetics is a fascinating collection. Its remarkable breadth of coverage ensures that a simple flip through the pages will be educational, yet the information is detailed enough to make the book a valuable reference for the specialist. The chronology of biological discoveries provides a true sense of the excitement and rapid pace of progress in modern biology." Paul Lasko, Department of Biology, McGill University
"This is the most useful book on my genetics bookshelf! King, Stansfield, and Mulligan have updated the outstanding 6th edition to produce an amazing 7th edition. I recommend this well-organized and easy to read reference to students and faculty alike." Susanne M. Gollin, Graduate School of Public Health, University of Pittsburgh
