Editorial Reviews

Review
...readers will expect and find erudition, breadth, unusual diversity of examples and good writing in latest works...this book is explicity about selection. What makes this book useful is its singleness of purpose toegether with the great breadth of coverage of the chosen subject. - Nature, Vol. 384, Dec., 1996; I recommend the book to anyone interested in almost any aspect of natural selection and its importance in evolution. - Science, August 1997

Product Description
This book describes the process of selection and explains how the nature of the process determines the nature of evolutionary change. Written in an uncluttered style, this book will be the first point of reference for anyone looking for a more extensive and authoritative treatment of selection than can be found in any other book.
