It is essential that textbook authors step back and look
with fresh eyes as each edition of their work is planned. In
doing so, two main questions must be posed: (1) How has
the body of information in their field?in this case Genetics?
grown and shifted since the last edition; and (2) What
pedagogic innovations might be devised and incorporated
into the text that will unquestionably enhance students?
learning? The preparation of the 10th edition of Concepts of
Genetics, a text now well into its third decade of providing
support for students studying in this field, has occasioned
still another fresh look. And what we focused on in this new
edition, in addition to the normal updating that is inevitably
required, were two things: (1) the need to increase the
opportunities for instructors and students to engage in active
and cooperative learning approaches, either within or
outside of the classroom; and (2) the need to provide more
comprehensive coverage of important, emerging topics
that do not yet warrant their own traditional chapters.
