Fundamentals of Molecular Evolution

Summary: Very interesting...
Review: I read this book for pleasure, and I found it very informative since I was interested in the subject matter prior to buying it. It is mathematically intense at parts, and I skipped those parts. Well worth the money if you have a passion or budding interest in this field.

Summary: C value Chart
Review: Its a pretty ok book. They didn't do alot of true research for it. They did alot of "adaptist story telling" in the book. For example: In the chart about C value. They took a chart from another reference and they called Amphiuma means a newt. Amphiuma means i by no means a newt. Its a long aquatic salamander with 4 small useless legs and gill slits.

Summary: good book
Review: This is a pretty good book. If you are trying to work on molecular evolution, comparative genomics, and bioinformatics, you should read this book and use it as a reference later on. Since this research topic is quite active now, some data or hypothesis in the book are not absolutely correct. You can read journals to keep yourself updated.

Summary: In depth, informative
Review: This is a very complex, indepth, informative book on molecular and genetic evolution. Explainations of genetic drift, mutation rates, times to fixation, patterns in evolutionary changes. Lots of statistical information on how allele frequencies change. Written for a knowledgable audiance with a good understanding of evolution and genetics. Gives informative understanding of trends in evolution beyond natural selection. Supports neutral theory of evolution quite strongly.
