Evolutionary Geneticsby John Maynard SmithISBN 0198502311 (0-19-850231-1)
Softcover, Oxford Univ Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Evolutionary Genetics'Book summary:Authored by an internationally prominent figure in the field, Evolutionary Genetics unites the molecular and population approaches to evolution to show how population genetics can be applied to real biological problems. It explores the mechanisms of evolution, covering basic population and quantitative genetics; evolutionary game theory; evolution of behavior; prokaryote evolution; evolution of genomes; sex, recombination, breeding systems, and sexual selection; speciation; and macroevolution. Throughout, science is viewed as a dynamic activity rather than a body of received doctrine, and current research is given a comprehensive treatment. End-of-chapter problems, with answers and explanations at the back of the book, along with computer projects, allow students to practice the skills central to problem-solving and model-making in population and evolution.

› Find signed collectible books: 'New Uses for New Phylogenies'Book summary:Recent advances in molecular genetics make the sequencing of genes a straightforward exercise. Comparisons of sequenced genes from different individuals of a species, or from different species, allow the construction of family trees or evolutionary trees which reveal genetic relationships. This volume shows for the first time how those trees, or phylogenies, can be used to answer questions about population dynamics, epidemiology, development, biodiversity, conservation, and the evolution of genetic systems. The techniques for deciding what these new trees can tell us come together in a unified framework so that a common set of methods can be applied, whatever area of biology interests the researcher.

› Find signed collectible books: 'On Being the Right Size and Other Essays'Book summary:J.B.S. Haldane (1892-1964) was one of the great popularizers of science, as well as being a brilliant geneticist who helped found the modern theory of evolution. John Maynard Smith, one of his former pupils, has here selected some of his best popular pieces, including some of his weekly articles for the Daily Worker . They are still remarkable for their explanatory power and the quality of their ideas. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Origins of Life: From the Birth of Life to the Origin of Language'Book summary:Life is a long, strange trip, and in The Origins of Life, John Maynard Smith and Eörs Szathmáry blast you through its three-and-a-half-billion-year history at breathtaking pace.
Life, we learn, is information, transmitted in ever more intricate ways across the generations. Self-replicating chemicals walled themselves into cells, organized themselves into regimented communities of chromosomes, swapped notes with other populations to become sexual, cloned themselves to form multicellular colonies called organisms, got together with other colonies to form societies, and, eventually, in the case of one particular ape, developed the ability to put this whole story down on paper.
For those evolutionists brought up on the theory of "red queens" and "self genes," Origins provides a complementary crash course in the practical nuts-and-bolts biology behind the headlines. The authors describe the technical problems involved in the transition from one stage to another, and explain the ingenious and often fortuitous steps that natural selection took to overcome them. For example, the rigid walls of the first cells gave way to more flexible membranes that could engulf food particles and incorporate "little organs" such as mitochondria. A "cytoskeleton" of filaments and tubules was needed to maintain the cell's integrity, and--presto!--this structure was the perfect motorway for intracellular traffic, ideal for shearing the cell apart during cloning, and provided the earliest means of locomotion, such as the tail of sperm.
With this attention to detail, the book requires careful reading--but it's worth it. Maynard Smith and Szathmáry's book makes you realize just how lucky you are to be alive. --Oliver Curry, Amazon.co.uk [via]
