Designed for comprehensive genetic courses (not human genetics). As with previous editions, this new fifth edition is praised for its engaging writing style, emphasis on research and experiments, numerous end-of-chapter problems, full-color design, and helpful pedagogy. New features include a new chapter on the genetics of cancer, updated and expanded molecular and genetics coverage, new and updated questions and problems

Since the last edition, the science of genetics has passed a major milestone: The DNA sequence of the human genome has been determined. This edition has been prepared with the new issues, questions, insights, and technologies in mind. Recent discoveries have been incorporated into the text, and the pedagogy has been enhanced, balancing new information with fundamental principles.
William S. Klug, Michael R. Cummings
Concepts of Genetics by Klug and Cummings is a comprehensive and widely used textbook designed for the undergraduate students in biology, biotechnology, and related field, that introduces students to the fundamental principles of genetics, combined with the classical Mendelian concepts with modern approaches.

Camera-Cut-Composition: A Learning Model is a film rhetoric based on the uniquely cognitive nature of motion pictures. It is designed for filmmaking and film studies programs. A historical survey of breakthrough technical advances and artistic triumphs is combined with an analysis of the filmmaking process to show the constructive perceptual unity surrounding the making and interpretation of motion pictures. According to author Aaron Sultanik, the viewer's response to a film derives from three visually ascertained, dramatically realized cognitive elements: (1) the multiple points of view of a camera's placement, angle, and mobility; (2) the dynamic spatiotemporal assemblage of a film's editing; (3) and the final meaning of a film through the story's pictorial stylization. Sultanik offers instructive analogies to classic texts in rhetoric, visual perception, and film criticism to define a movie's distinct aesthetic properties and their perceptual-cognitive interdependence.
