Genetics and the Urologist.

With commendable brevity, three Detroit urologists have compiled what might loosely be termed a primer on genetics. In the space of 98 pages, which contain nine chapters, they serve up a genetic aperitif that whets the appetite for further consumption. This they facilitate with an excellent bibliography comprising books and journal articles.

As the fly-leaf indicates, its greatest value will be to those who were medically educated in the first half of the century. From the practical viewpoint, it represents a most useful source of reference when confronting an occasional thorny and embarrassing problem of genetic counseling. Its glossary proved a considerable boon to the stumbling learner like myself.
