“Communicating Genetics: Visualizations and Representations is a thoughtful, important book that goes beyond theoretical discussion about visual representation of genetics. … I highly recommend this book for science and technical communication graduate students (even if they are not studying scientific communication) and scholars and practitioners in these fields as well. I make this recommendation not only because of the important subject matter regarding genetics, but anyone who has a hand in creating visuals can benefit from this excellent study.” (Diane Martinez, Technical Communication, Vol 65 (2), May, 2018)
