This book provides a comprehensive history of mapping procedures as they were developed in classical genetics. An accompanying volume - \u003cem\u003eFrom Molecular Genetics to Genomics \u003c\/em\u003e- covers the history of molecular genetics and genomics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book shows that the technology of genetic mapping is by no means a recent acquisition of molecular genetics or even genetic engineering. It demonstrates that the development of mapping technologies has accompanied the rise of modern genetics from its very beginnings. In Section One, Mendelian genetics is set in perspective from the viewpoint of the detection and description of linkage phenomena. Section Two addresses the role of mapping for the experimental working practice of classical geneticists, their social interactions and for the laboratory 'life worlds'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith detailed analyses of the scientific practices of mapping and its illustration of the diversity of mapping practices this book is a significant contibution to the history of genetics.
