Review # 1 was written on 2018-07-08 00:00:00 Susan Rumpel Pak Sham's book is, in my opinion, the strongest of the graduate-level textbooks in genetic epidemiology. Although no text in statistical genetics covers everything I would like to cover in an introductory course, Statistics in Human Genetics covers most of the middle- to upper-level material in depth. If I need to look something up about heritability or genetic variance, I'll reach for this book first.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-06-09 00:00:00 Daniel J Drain I've read the 7th edition of "Principles of genetics", so I imagine it's improved a lot from the 1st edition. It has that classic textbook vibe, with the pictures, diagrams, color, study outlines at the beginnings of chapters, and all those little things that help while studying. But when compared with some other books (e.g. Lewis' Human genetics), the text is considerably more dense and requires more engagement from the student. The part I read thoroughly, Quantitative genetics, is well done, but I still found that the writing style kinda hampered my progress. I guess I'm not used to such a style... Hence the four stars.
