ABSTRACT

Johansson, I., and J. Rendel, Genetics and Animal Breeding. W. H. Freeman and Co., San Francisco. xi + 489 pages, 180 illus., 63 tables, $17.50. Translated from the Swedish by Michael Taylor, May, 1968.

This book is a translated and revised edition of the original Swedish book, Ärftlighet och husdjursförädling, with the chapter on production traits in poultry rewritten by Dr. John C. Bowman of the University of Reading. As the authors point out, this book was note written as a textbook for a particular college course, but was to be a general survey of the genetics of farm animals and the breeding methods for their improvement. They hoped that the book would be used as an introduction to animal genetics by students at agricultural and veterinary colleges, as well as by animal breeders.

As a textbook, this edition should be useful to undergraduates having no previous knowledge of genetics.
