Riassunto

The author's distillation of population genetics is based on papers from the literature which he recommends be made available to students. Assuming knowledge of Mendelian genetics, a smattering of molecular genetics, simple algebra, and elementary probability theory, chapters cover the Hardy-Weinberg law; genetic drift; natural selection; nonrandom mating; quantitative genetics; and the evolutionary advantage of sex. Appendices contain most of what is needed in the way of mathematics. Paper edition (unseen), $19.95. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Recensione

"John Gillespie has done the near-impossible, condensing the essence of population genetics into a very short book. The result is a little gem. The derivations are simple and clear, and often strikingly original. The minor gaps in the first edition are filled by this equally concise second edition. Population genetics is a complicated subject; only a person of Gillespie's depth of knowledge and insight could simplify without distorting." -- James F. Crow, author of Genetics Notes
