Thus, the lives of geneticists - their friendships, colleagues and associations - play an important role in the historical development of the science. This book summarizes the history of genetics by reviewing the lives of the prominent and influential researchers beginning with the earliest and simplest branches of genetics (studies of inheritance and mutation) and ending with the human genome project - the pinnacle of genetics research of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey selling features:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummarizes the lives of important genetics researchers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReviews the development of important foundational concepts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighlights the way new technologies and methods have advanced the study of genetics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores the influence of genetics in other biomedical fields\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoids simplistic chronological summary of genetics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This is the kind of book that any historian of medicine, geneticist, or researcher should have on his\/her shelf, as should any reader interested in understanding the current trends in medicine… a book to consult as an inspiration, particularly for young scientists, but also for seasoned researchers coping with unexpected problems, crafting a new project, or exploring uncharted waters.\" - Alain Touwaide, PhD (The Huntington)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"In the fields of history, philosophy, and sociology of science there is a reasonable amount of information for the curriculum vitae of each of these geneticists and about half of them have had a biography written about them.
