Mark Ridley's Evolution has become the premier undergraduate text in the study of evolution.
Readable and stimulating, yet wellbalanced and indepth, this text tells the story of evolution, from the history of the study to the most revent developments in evolutionary theory.
The third edition of this successful textbook features updates and extensive new coverage.
The sections on adaptation and diversity have been reorganized for improved clarity and flow, and a completely updated section on the evolution of sex and the inclusion of more plant examples have all helped to shape this new edition.
Evolution also features strong, balanced coverage of population genetics, and scores of new applied plant and animal examples make this edition even more accessible and engaging.
Dedicated website provides an interactive experience of the book, with illustrations downloadable to Power Point, and a full supplemental package complementing the book www.
