"This in-depth series on genetics, covering both plant and animal cells, is good for middle and high school students in need of research matter. Topics such as heredity, DNA, and cell structure are explored. Each book begins with an accessible overview, providing clear definitions, solid examples, and comparisons. Because the individual topics of each book are interrelated there is some overlap of facts, which reinforces the material. Photography of microscopic cells, diagrams, and sidebars make the complex topics more understandable. VERDICT With many cross-curricula applications, this set is a fine choice for classrooms and school libraries everywhere.--Jody Kopple, Shady Hill School, Cambridge, MA ""School Library Journal, Series Made Simple"""
