As a full service publisher of quality educational products, McGraw-Hill does much more than just sell textbooks to your students.

Orders of new (versus used) textbooks help us to defray the cost of developing such supplements, which is substantial. Please consult your local McGraw-Hill representative to learn about the availability of the supplements that accompany Human Genetics: Concepts and Applications.
