Quantitative Approaches AppendixReviewsAn excellent and easy-to-read, engaging textbook. * Professor Robert Gerlai, University of Toronto Mississaugu * Very easy to read, and the narrative makes it engaging. * Dr Michelle Luciano, University of Edinburgh * The book covers a wide variety of topics in appropriate depth and with an informative, but relatively informal, style. A major strength is its focus on the recently highlighted topic of reproducibility (and how to maximise this), which is an area in which students need to be suitably educated. * Dr William Davies, Cardiff University * The breadth of knowledge that is required to prepare a new generation of behavior geneticists is certainly present in the 2nd edition of How Genes Infuence Behavior * Tinca J. C. Polderman, Behavior Genetics, 07 June 2021 * Easy to read, comprehensive, up to date. The entertaining writing style will enthuse many new students, as will the low price. * Tinca J. C. Polderman, Behavior Genetics, 07 June 2021 * The authors are to be applauded for sharing with us their fascinating journey through the world of genetic research (and Irish hostels, and tattoos), and as such delivering a great contribution to the behavior genetics literature. * Tinca J.

Ralph Greenspan is a Professor at the University of California San Diego where he is Associate Director of Kavli Institute for Mind and Brain. He work includes analysis of the genetic control of nervous system development in the fruit fly and mouse, and genetic and neurobiological studies of innate and learned behaviors in the fruit fly. Kenneth Kendler is a Professor at the Virginia Institute for Psychiatric and Behavioral Genetics at the Virginia Commonwealth University. He has conducted family and twin studies on a range of psychiatric and substance use disorders as well as molecular genetic studies on schizophrenia, alcoholism, and depression.
