Reviews

...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
