Product Description In its scope and emphases, Evolution is a readily recognized descendant of the author's previous textbook, Evolutionary Biology. However, it is much shorter and is exclusively directed toward an undergraduate audience. Teachers and students will find the list of important concepts and terms in each chapter a helpful guide, and will appreciate the radically different dynamic figures and lively photographs. The content of all chapters has been updated, and material has been reorganized into new chapters such as "Conflict and Cooperation" and "How To Be Fit." Contributors Scott V. Edwards and John R. True have provided authoritative chapters on "Evolution of Genes and Genomes" and "Development and Evolution," two of the most rapidly developing subjects in evolutionary biology. A new final chapter on "Evolutionary Science, Creationism, and Society" treats such topics as the nature of science and the practical applications of evolutionary biology. | ||

Excellent Biology Textbook I found this book informative and engaging. Futuyma covers a wide breadth of biology and provides case studies and recent research to illustrate his points. Also, I found the loose-leaf version useful. It was slightly cheaper, and I was able to split it up in a 3-ring binder so I could read the portions I needed wherever I was at the time. However, be aware that the pages can become crumpled because there is _literally_ no binding, just 3 holes on the left-side margin. I was surprised when I received the book. | ||
So far, So extremely good I'm a senior in biology, and have been using this book for my evolution class. Well, not much can be said other than it's great. Well written, good use of the technical language, very nice examples, etc, etc, etc... | ||
cheap and nice Great book. Just a little easier to get teared when you put it into the binder. | ||
