Biological Sciences

Taylor&Francis

The new edition of Introducing Genetics is a clear, concise, and accessible guide to inheritance and variation in individuals and populations. It first establishes the principles of Mendelian inheritance and the nature of chromosomes, before tackling quantitative and population genetics. The final three chapters introduce the molecular mechanisms that underlie genetics, including the techniques responsible for the current genetic revolution. As genetics affects all living organisms, examples are taken from insects, plants, animals, and humans. Each chapter ends with a set of problems to help the reader develop their understanding of genetics.

Hilda Carline was the first wife of Stanley Spencer, yet the fact that she was herself an accomplished artist has been repeatedly overlooked. This book, long overdue, is the first to recognize Hilda Carline's own creative powers and charts a career which lasted half a century.Alison Thomas's text looks at the full range of Hilda's work, seen against the background of her complex relationship with Stanley Spencer. She discusses the two artists' troubled marriage, the proposed menage a trois with Stanley Spencer's second wife, Patricia Preece, and their final reconciliation at the end of Hilda's life.
