British naturalist and geneticist REGINALD CRUNDALL PUNNETT (1875-1967) is best remember for connecting statistics with Mendelism, the study of genetics pioneered by the Austrian monk Gregor Mendel. This charming little book is considered the first textbook on genetics, and one of the first works to introduce the concept to the general public.

This replica of the 1922 fifth edition includes all of the original charts, illustrations, diagrams, and photos. It remains a remarkable artifact of science writing of the early 20th century, and will delight students of genetics and popular science.
