    Introduction 5 the end of some chapters under the heading General Readings. They are of relevance to major areas of that chapter and should provide a guide to additional reading. At the end of this chapter a list of general readings in behavior genet¬ ics is given, and at the end of Chapter 2 is a list of some of the ele¬ mentary genetics texts. General readings Ehrman, L., G. S. Omenn, and E. Caspari (eds.). 1972. Genetics, Environment and Behavior: Implications for Educational Policy. New York: Academic Press. The proceedings of a research workshop on the genetics of behavior, human and animal, at molecular, cellular, individual, population, and evolutionary levels, with the aim of seeking possible applications in research of interest to education.
