Review
In his book Veterinary Genetics, published in 1987, I believe Frank Nicholas did an excellent service in producing a text which covered comprehensively the basic genetics and its application to the health and the breeding of animals. This new, shorter, edition is at a simpler level and concentrates rather more closely on the genetics of disease ... brings in the considerable new knowledge on specific diseases and on use of markers. I suspect it is more suitable than its predecessor both for the undergraduate vet and agriculture student and for the professional or amateur reader concerned with animal genetics and breeding ... undoubtedly a nice piece of work. Whilst the basic theory and the animal breeding applications can be found elsewhere, the content on the genetics of animal disease is, I believe, uniquely available here. (William G. Hill, University of Edinburgh, Genetical Research, 1996)
most excellent book ... It is a most comprehensive, and comprehensible, primer on genetics. It is right up to date, accurate, and clear, and it is a delight for a human geneticist to read because it is so interesting. The book is highly recommended both for its genetics (veterinarians will be well instructed by it) and for the horizons which it broadens for human geneticists. (Mary J. Seller, Journal of Medical Genetics, Vol. 33, No. 10, Oct 1996)
This book provides an introductory and up-to-date overview of those aspects of genetics that are relevant to animal disease and animal production ... it provides an excellent introduction to anyone interested in acquiring a basic understanding of genetics. Examples are drawn from the field of veterinary science and a clear account is provided of the importance of molecular biology to genetics. The various concepts are clearly and concisely expressed. (Colin Hetherington, Laboratory Animals, 30, 1996)
The writing is generally clear, realistic and quite positive on many aspects, so that many students should be tempted to get more involved in genetics. Further reading is proposed after each chapter and covers quite well the different research fields as well as most of the domestic species. The author should be congratulated for this quite comprehensive overview. (M. Tixier-Boichard, Genet Sel Evol (1997) 29)
The rather modest title to this book conceals an undertaking of heroic proportions; to introduce and summarise the whole of host genetics and current genetic methodology. (Avian Pathology, June 1997)
