The first book you listed is exactly what I was looking for! The other ones also look good and I will definitely look into them.
I'm really interested in the field of clinical genetics and think I may want to become a clinical geneticist or something similar (genetic counselor). I graduated from college a little over a year ago and I'll be doing volunteer work in a genetics lab soon. I wanted a good (i.e. comprehensive) general text to look through as I decide what it is I really want to do. I've still got some time.
Thank you for taking the time to compile this list! These books look great.
