Beschreibung
This book aims to make population genetics approachable, logicaland easily understood. To achieve these goals, the book'sdesign emphasizes well explained introductions to key principlesand predictions. These are augmented with case studies as wellas illustrations along with introductions to classicalhypotheses and debates.
Pedagogical features in the text include:
* Interact boxes that guide readers step-by-step throughcomputer simulations using public domain software.
* Math boxes that fully explain mathematical derivations.
* Methods boxes that give insight into the use of actual geneticdata.
* Numerous Problem boxes are integrated into the text toreinforce concepts as they are encountered.
* Dedicated website at www.wiley.com/go/hamiltongenetics
This text also offers a highly accessible introduction tocoalescent theory, the major conceptual advance in populationgenetics of the last two decades.

"To achieve these goals, the book design emphasizes a wellexplained introductions to key principles and predictions. Theseare augmented with case studies as well as illustrations along withintroductions to classical hypotheses and debates." (Zentralblatt MATH, 2012)
"The most catching aspect of Hamilton's book is itsextremely well thought-out structure and pedagogical concept. Allsections are well motivated in the respective introduction and allchapters have reviews at the end. A large number of problems havebeen interspersed throughout the text for students to work on, andthe solutions are provided at the end of each chapter. A veryinteresting and novel feature is the use of so-called'interact boxes', which are essentially links tointeractive learning and simulation software available on theinternet." (Human Genetics, December 2009)
"Hamilton's volume would be the best choice for someone seekinga thorough grounding in the subject." (The Quarterly Review ofBiology, April 2010)
"Both population biologists and upper-level biology studentswill appreciate the relatively clear explanations of exceptionallydifficult material." (CHOICE, November 2009)
