Evolutionary biogeography and conservation on a rapidly changing planet: building on Darwin's vision Craig Moritz and Ana Carolina Carnaval; 8. Postgenomic Darwinism John Dupré.

"There is not a weak essay in the set, and the collection paints a surprisingly coherent picture of the breadth and diversity of Darwinian thought. The essays are appropriate for all readers; with an extremely reasonable list price, there is no reason that any library should be without it. Summing Up: Essential. All levels/libraries." R.
