I suggest "The Cartoon Guide to Genetics".  It clearly explains
basic genetic concepts that any survey course includes.  It 
is inexpensive, around $10 or so--much less than the $50 price
of traditional texts.  And it is fun.  I know TA's who have used 
this in the classroom for general biology classes and at least
one lecturer in Anthropology assigned for a non-majors' course.
  
I do not have a copy handy, or I would give you the ISBN and
the names of the authors (Groenic and Whelis ?).  Perhaps 
somebody will post it.
