Johns Hopkins University Press Phenotypic Plasticity
Book SynopsisPhenotypic Plasticity: Beyond Nature and Nurture thoroughly reviews more than two decades of research, and thus will be of interest to both students and professionals in evolutionary biology, ecology, and genetics.Trade ReviewPhenotypic Plasticity is the most comprehensive book on this topic. It provides both a solid basis for understanding the subject and an inspiring synthesis of the current state of the discipline, and so can be equally recommended for students starting their research, for experts in the field and for all scientists generally interested in phenotypic plasticity. Hardly anyone will read this book without gaining new insights or new inspirations. The book is a 'must read' in the fields of evolution and ecology, and as such is an ideal topic for seminars. I highly recommend it and look forward to the next volumes in Scheiner's series. -- Ralph Tollrian Nature It is difficult to see how any student of phenotypic plasticity will be able to get by without a copy of this on their shelf... [it] appeals to students at all levels of development and sophistication... It is a fascinating read and will not fail to stimulate new insight into this most important topic. -- G.J. Holloway Heredity I appreciate the style of the book-theory, discussion, and plentiful examples from both zoology and botany are well balanced making the text understandable for a wide audience. Folia Geobotanica This book... strongly shakes and stimulates our minds. After reading this book, I feel that I can understand a little more about the diversification and evolution of the fascinating living worlds surrounding us. -- Leonardo Galetto Plants, Systematics and EvolutionTable of ContentsContents: Series Editor's Foreword, by Samuel M. Scheiner Foreword, by Paul Brakefield Preface Chapter 1: What is Phenotypic Plasticity?

Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group What Darwin Really Said An Introduction to His Life and Theory of Evolution What They Really Said
Book SynopsisWith a foreword by Stephen Jay Gould First published in 1859, Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution inalterably transformed our view of the history of life on the planet—and along with it, how we understand ourselves, our origins, and our place in the world. As we stand before the dawn of a new century, this theory is still the source of heated debate. In medicine, psychology, sociology, and politics, controversial new ideas are being espoused to claim Darwin for their legitimacy, while religious opponents continue to press for their alternative theory of “creationism” to be taught in the public schools. To being light where there has been much heat, What Darwin Really Said offers an excellent introduction to this great thinker’s discoveries, his view of human development, and the endurance of his theories against the test of time.

Rutgers University Press Darwinian Politics The Evolutionary Origin of
Book SynopsisAn examination of political behaviour from a modern evolutionary perspective. Paul H. Rubin discusses group or social behaviour, including: ethnic and racial conflict; altruism and co-operation; envy; political power; and the role of religion in politics.Trade ReviewIn this lively and insightful book, Paul Robin shows just how much light can be shed on the institutions of modern life by reference to our long species history as hunter-gatherers. This is highly recommended reading. -- Herbert Gintis * author of Game Theory Evolving *Full of insights and interesting connections among biology, public policy, and economics. It keeps the reader's interest and is well paced. Simply great - I enjoyed every minute of it. -- Michael T. McGuire * coauthor of Darwinism Psychiatry *A lucid, responsible, thought-provoking, constructive inquiry into the biological foundations of economic behavior. -- Richard Posner, judge * U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit *
