Synopsis

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.

Booknews

Framing his arguments in terms of asexual, haploid microbes, Bell (genetics, McGill U.) explores this facet of biological inheritance. Types of selection studied include simple, single and multi-character, auto, social, and sexual. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
