The "Origin" Then and Now
Princeton University Press 2011; US$ 45.00Charles Darwin's Origin of Species is one of the most widely cited books in modern science. Yet tackling this classic can be daunting for students and general readers alike because of Darwin's Victorian prose and the complexity and scope of his ideas. The "Origin" Then and Now is a unique guide to Darwin's masterwork, making it accessible to a... more...
The 10,000 Year Explosion
Basic Books 2009; US$ 16.95Two leading researchers make the controversial argument that our species is still measurably evolving in important ways?in fact, faster than ever before. more...
Acquiring Genomes
Basic Books 2008; US$ 16.95From one of the great iconoclasts of modern biology, Lynn Margulis, a groundbreaking new theory of the origins of species more...
Adam's Tongue
Farrar, Straus and Giroux 2009; US$ 15.99How language evolved has been called ?the hardest problem in science.? In Adam?s Tongue , Derek Bickerton?long a leading authority in this field?shows how and why previous attempts to solve that problem have fallen short. Taking cues from topics as diverse as the foraging strategies of ants, the distribution of large prehistoric herbivores, and... more...
Adaptation and Fitness in Animal Populations
Springer 2008; US$ 149.99Fitness and adaptation are fundamental characteristics of plant and animal species, enabling them to survive in their environment and to adapt to the inevitable changes in this environment. This book brings together a sample of the world's leading scientists in animal breeding and evolutionary genetics to exchange knowledge. more...

Adaptive Diversification (MPB-48)
Princeton University Press 2011; US$ 110.00Understanding the mechanisms driving biological diversity remains a central problem in ecology and evolutionary biology. Traditional explanations assume that differences in selection pressures lead to different adaptations in geographically separated locations. This book takes a different approach and explores adaptive diversification--diversification... more...
Adaptive Dynamics of Infectious Diseases
Cambridge University Press 2002; US$ 89.00An integrated study of the evolutionary ecology of infectious diseases and the management of virulent pathogens. more...
The Adaptive Landscape in Evolutionary Biology
OUP Oxford 2012; US$ 69.99The 'Adaptive Landscape' has been a central concept in population genetics and evolutionary biology since this powerful metaphor was first formulated by Sewall Wright in 1932. Eighty years later, it has become a central framework in evolutionary quantitative genetics, selection studies in natural populations, and in studies of ecological speciation... more...
