Mendelian Inheritance in Man

Booknews

**** ARBA 89 says of the 8th edition: "Written by a founding father of modern genetics, this book is the perfect example of how a caring and fecund mind utilizing available computer methodology can produce a polished and integrated product that is essential not only to all geneticists, but also to anyone in practice seeking the latest genetic advice to give patients and their families."--Garabed Eknoyan. The 10th edition continues the tradition begun in 1966. Eknoyan, above, remarks upon McKusick's brilliant conception. We choose to note the absence of earlier editions of this classic in Sheehy (we accept it as beyond the reach of BCL3), as well as any of the 525 journals with book reviews indexed in Book review index (except ARBA 89 and 91, and Book News). This leaves Nature and Science on the sidelines. Online Mendelian inheritance in man reprints the very current (thru March ^92!) data here. Some 1,000 entries have been added since the 9th edition (1990), continuing an accelerating rate of growth. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
