This textbook is designed for a one-semester college course. Goodenough follows a topical rather than historical approach to the material. The sequence of topics progresses from more simple to more complex, with emphasis on the basic research at the time of its publication. The author, good science not withstanding, brings a great deal of levity to the subject.

This book was written by a distinguished cytogeneticist. Although it is no longer on the cutting edge, it presents a history of the field through the mid-1980s. The first chapter on the history of cytogenetics is superb.
