Still excellent and essential

This book presents the logical and quantitative structure of the foundations of genetics as laid out by the end of the 1960s (which is close to most of undergraduate genetics): the key explanatory facts, how we know them from experiment, what their implications are, and what questions they raise (circa 1969). Each chapter is well-written by some of the relevant original researchers. Excellent problems at the end of each chapter. Genetics texts today have to be comprehensive and full of biochemical details to make them suitable for a variety of pre-med style courses, which is why you don't see short for-scientists texts like these anymore.
