Short description:
Addresses major themes: including the history of evolution, evolutionary processes, adaptation, and evolution as an explanatory framework-at levels of biological organization ranging from genomes to ecological communities. Extensively revised for clarity and currency, this new edition of Evolution presents this field of evolution as a living, breathing science. Updated coverage in evolutionary genetics and genomics illustrates the rapidly moving science of evolution and emphasizes the interplay between theory and empirical tests of hypotheses, acquainting students with the process of science. Written for undergraduate students in Psychology and Biology, the text is available in a dynamic and interactive Enhanced eBook that allows student to hone their problem solving and data analysis skills while seeing Evolution in the context of their life through video, animations and more.
Long description:
The gold standard in undergraduate-level evolutionary biology textbooks.
This new fifth edition presents the field of evolution as a living, breathing science. Extensively revised for clarity and currency, Evolution, 5th Edition, includes updated coverage in evolutionary genetics and genomics to illustrate the rapidly moving science of evolution and emphasizes the interplay between theory and empirical test hypotheses, acquainting students with the process of science. Evolution is available in a dynamic interactive enhanced e-book that allows students hone their problem-solving and data analysis skills while seeing the evolution in the context of their life.
Evolution is good at providing a lot of empirical examples for each major concept, and I generally like the organization, particularly in the early units, where chapters build on each other in a good natural progression.
