This book is definitely not just for dummies. It goes into a lot of detail and is reasonably up-to-date. However having never studied this subject before I found it really hard work to read. The problem is it jumps across a wide range of topics and you are required to remember and be able to cross-link topics on different pages. A book with a logical top-down structure would be much easier to digest.

I was cruelly forced to take a genetics module as part of my stage one zoology degree, and to begin with found it completely impossible, not to mention unutterably boring. I'm almost ashamed to admit it, but I'm actually quite enjoying it now because of this book. All of the concepts are explained step by step, and so far I haven't come across anything I don't understand, even though more detail is given than I need to know. It's very reasonably priced too so it won't feel like a waste of money when I no longer need it (unlike the 40 book I was advised to buy and haven't yet opened!).
