Reproduction and genetics are the central themes of biology. They relate to big questions of life such as: who are we, where do we come from, and where are we going? In the combined science of reproductive genetics, generations are interconnected and fertility plays a significant role.
The cell lineage responsible for this is known as the germline, with gametes as the functional products and heralds of information. The book follows the germline and attempts, through a more liberal and narrative use of language, to bridge the gap between an academic textbook and society. Personal experiences are not shunned but do not dominate.
The book is intended for those professionally involved in or entering this field, including those in education and journalism. However, it is also suitable for enthusiasts without a professional background, partly thanks to its beautiful colour illustrations and an up-to-date glossary.
