Warren J. Ewens, University of Pennsylvania, USA\u003cbr\u003e Population genetics is concerned with the study of the genetic, ecological, and evolutionary factors that influence and change the genetic composition of populations. The emphasis here is on models that have a direct bearing on evolutionary quantitative genetics. Applications concerning the maintenance of genetic variation in quantitative traits and their dynamics under selection are treated in detail.\u003cbr\u003e * Provides a unified, self-contained and in-depth study of the theory of multilocus systems\u003cbr\u003e * Introduces the basic population-genetic models\u003cbr\u003e * Explores the dynamical and equilibrium properties of the distribution of quantitative traits under selection\u003cbr\u003e * Summarizes important results from more demanding sections in a comprehensible way\u003cbr\u003e * Employs a clear and logical presentation style\u003cbr\u003e Following an introduction to \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"an excellent reference volume\" (Zentralblatt Math, Vol. 959, No. 9 2001)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"...Burger's text is without equal.
