Nature's Magic
Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 32.00In Nature's Magic, Peter Corning describes how synergy - a vaguely familiar term to many of us - has been a wellspring of creativity in the natural world and has played a key role in the evolution of co-operation and complexity, from physics and chemistry to the latest human technologies. more...
Natural Selection
Oxford University Press 1992; US$ 80.00In this work, George C. Williams--one of evolutionary biology's most distinguished scholars--examines the mechanisms and meaning of natural selection in evolution. Williams offers his own perspective on modern evolutionary theory, including discussions of the gene as the unit of selection, clade selection and macroevolution, diversity within and among... more...
Phylogenetic Analysis of DNA Sequences
Oxford University Press 1991; US$ 209.99With increasing frequency, systematic and evolutionary biologists have turned to the techniques of molecular biology to complement their traditional morphological and anatomical approaches to questions of the historical relationship and descent among groups of animals and plants. In particular, the comparative analysis of DNA sequences is becoming... more...
Oxford Surveys in Evolutionary Biology
Oxford University Press 1992; US$ 259.99This new volume in the OSEB series presents reviews of key theoretical ideas and frameworks, and outlines progress in evolutionary studies. more...
Evolution
Oxford University Press 2003; US$ 9.99This title is about the role of evolutionary biology in transforming our view of human origins and relation to the universe, and the impact of this idea on traditional philosophy and religion.

Adaptive Genetic Variation in the Wild
Oxford University Press 1999; US$ 169.99This collection of papers summarizes understanding about the extent of genetic variation within wild populations and the ways to monitor such variation. It proposes the idea that an objective of evolutionary ecology is necessary to predict organism, population, community, and ecosystem response. more...
Darwin without Malthus
Oxford University Press 1989; US$ 169.99The first book in English to examine in detail the scientific work of 19th-century Russian evolutionists, and the first in any language to explore the relationship of their theories to their economic, political, and natural milieu. more...
The Implicit Genome
Oxford University Press 2006; US$ 54.99Discusses three interconnected themes: information can be implied, rather than explicit, in a genome; information can lead to focused and/or regulated changes in nucleotide sequences; and information that affects the probability of distinct classes of mutation has implications for evolutionary theory. more...
Life Evolving
Oxford University Press 2003; US$ 54.99A Nobel laureate discusses findings in the biological sciences in the past half century and explains what they reveal about the nature of life. more...
