Editor's Summary
3 January 2008
A good book
Evolutionary biology has seen some remarkable advances in the past 30 years, with new fields like 'evodevo' and evolutionary genomics expanding the scope of the field in all directions. This means there is always room for a good up-to-date textbook. Our reviewer rates Evolution, from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, as one of the best. With support promised from http://www.evolution-textbook.org/, the book weighs in at a convenient size and scores well on readability.
Books and Arts: Keeping pace with change
A textbook covering all aspects of evolution puts the spotlight on the molecular motor that drives it.
