Well-writtenIt's the only comprehensive, up-to-date text around. (Dr. Laurie Tompkins) This is the most thorough and up-to-date textbook of evolutionary biology available for advanced undergraduates and graduate students. Its conceptual emphasis is a valuable complement to the usual data-driven organization of biology texts. (Prof. Carey Krajewski) Very good, comprehensive text which can be used for a course covering the broad topics of evolution as well as in-depth topics for the higher level courses. (Doug Broadfield) Written according to a clear plan that emphasizes major concepts and approaches to solving problems, but also has numerous examples to illustrate these concepts. (Prof. David H. A. Fitch)
