Revue de presse

'A key source for researchers, as well as for students and teachers ... this is likely to be one of the most widely plagiarized books in the history of evolutionary biology.' (Joel Peck, Nature)

'The list of advisors and contributors reads like a who's who of biology ... an excellent resource. ' (Library Journal)
