Same material as US edition?

I have never used an international edition before. Can anyone reassure me that this version has the same material and organization/paging as the US edition? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks,

Informative material

I bought this book for a class I am taking. It has great pictures and explanations, which are beneficial in the understanding of the material.

easy to read text

great text book for genetics course. I use it at NYU. Easy to read, great illustrations, helpful index.

Decent..........

This is a good book, but the topic is so enormous that the book is too broad and should be more specific. The book is an overview of so many areas and it doesn't go into much detail. A excellent book for someone who is illiterate in human genetics like an undergraduate.

Excellent overview of the subject.

Very good read. Thorough discussion of underlying science and technology trends. Call me if you want more info : 510-664-3016. Peter Thottam. genesisla@aol.com.
