Techniques in Animal Cytogenetics

A better "casting" could not be conceived. The authors of this book are gold­ smiths on the subject. I have followed their work since their "entry" into cyto­ genetics and I have a high esteem for them. I consider it an honour to be asked to write the preface of their opus. Paul...
