Product Description
Written by a leading expert in the field, Genetics of Populations is designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of biological science and is the most current and comprehensive introduction available to this dynamic area of study. Completely updated and revised to keep pace with on-going developments in the science, Genetics of Populations integrates empirical and experimental population genetics with theory, and gives methods for estimating population genetics parameters as well as other statistical tools useful for population genetics. A complete bibliography and subject index also make this text an invaluable reference tool for professionals in many related disciplines including population ecology and behavior, conservation biology, medical genetics, and plant and animal breeding.

5.0 out of 5 stars A complete, up-to-date text book on population genetics, March 29, 2000
By E. Postma (Wageningen, The Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This text-book deals with population genetic theory in great detail, without loosing sight of the basics. This makes it a good introduction in population genetics as well as a complete reference work. With chapters on evolutionairy and quantative genetics and numerous examples this book describes the state of the art in population genetic research. Compared to Hartl and Clark's Introduction to Population Genetics, Genetics of Populations is more detailed and more clearly structured. Overall an excellent book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superbly presented and comprehensive introduction, December 5, 2004
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
A superbly presented and comprehensive introduction to population genetics as one of the fundamental underlying principles and processes of the evolutionary process, Genetics Of Populations is now published in a newly updated and significantly revised third edition. Author Philip W. Hedrick (Arizona State University) integrates theoretical issues with a clear and acceptable presentation of experimental population genetics with empirical data providing students and researchers with one of the most articulate and up-to-date texts available. Features new to this latest addition is a focus on data from genome projects that compare population samples to identify patterns of genetic diversity and genes that have been under selection. All of the individual chapters have been completely updated with the latest examples and approaches in this rapidly evolving field of study. Of special value for curriculum development are the new and updated tables, chapter exercises, end-of-chapter problems, art, photographs, featured researchers, extensive bibliography, and detailed index. Highly recommended.

El libro esta bien, solo que en la parte de abajo vino un poco roto. Pero por lo
demás esta bien. El tiempo de entrega fue el convenido.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poorly structured, badly written
This and Hartl and Clark's book are the standard textbooks for population genetics. I am an applied math/bio grad student working in this area. Read more
