Reviews

Engaging and entertaining writing, with concepts clearly conveyed in a way accessible to less numerate students. It is by far one of the most enjoyable and interesting text books on evolutionary genetics I have read. Simon Goodman, University of Leeds Nothing else comes close in terms of completeness and accessibility to our students. Reading the text is almost like having a conversation. Lawrence Mays, University of North Carolina at Charlotte
