Cambridge University Press Evolution and the Theory of Games
Book SynopsisIn this 1982 book, the theory of games, first developed to analyse economic behaviour, is modified so that it can be applied to evolving populations. John Maynard Smith's concept of an evolutionarily stable strategy is relevant whenever the best thing for an animal or plant to do depends on what others are doing. The theory leads to testable predictions about the evolution of behaviour, of sex and genetic systems, and of growth and life history patterns. This book contains a full account of the theory, and of the data relevant to it. The account is aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate students, teachers and research workers in animal behaviour, population genetics and evolutionary biology. The book will also be of interest to mathematicians and game theorists; the mathematics has been largely confined to appendixes so that the main text may be easily followed by biologists.Trade Review"Of those two near-contradictory things publishers say about a book, that it is 'seminal' and that it is 'long-awaited', Evolution and the Theory of Games somehow manages to make me think of both at once....This is a book that must be read by every serious ethologist/sociobiologist....It is unmistakably a brilliant book by one of the most important contributors to ethology in its history, still at the height of his powers. The only reason we don't call him an ethologist is that he is so much else besides....the gems of wisdom and biological insight are still there on every page, and ethologists can spend many happy field sessions testing the ideas here."

Cambridge University Press Charles Darwins Natural Selection Being the Second Part of His Big Species Book Written from 1856 to 1858
Book SynopsisCharles Darwin's On the Origin of Species is unquestionably one of the chief landmarks in biology. The Origin (as it is widely known) was literally only an abstract of the manuscript Darwin had originally intended to complete and publish as the formal presentation of his views on evolution. Compared with the Origin, his original long manuscript work on Natural Selection, which is presented here and made available for the first time in printed form, has more abundant examples and illustrations of Darwin's argument, plus an extensive citation of sources.Trade Review'Natural Selection is a joy to read. It is full of insights and subtle observations that never found their way into the Origin.' Science' … enables all interested in evolutionary theories to appreciate the background information on which Darwin based the statements he made and the conclusions he reached in the Origin.' New ScientistTable of ContentsCommonly use symbols and abbreviation code; Acknowledgements; General introduction; 1. Editorial considerations; 2. Darwin's table of contents; 3. Possibility of all organic beings crossing; 4. Variation under nature; 5. The struggle for existence; 6. On natural selection; 7. Laws of variation; 8. Difficulties on the theory; 9. Hybridism; 10. Mental powers and instincts of animals; 11. Geographical distribution; Appendices; Bibliography; Guides to the texts of the long and short versions; Collation between the Origin and Natural Selection; Index.
