Genetics of Natural Populations: The Continuing Importance of Theodosius Dobzhansky
Search in google:
A discussion of the life and wok of Theodosius Dobzhansky and an assessment of the current research that has the origins in his findings and contributions. Booknews Two dozen essays and scientific papers from an August 1993 workshop in Birmingham, England, assess the continuing influence of Dobzhansky (1900-75) in the study of evolutionary genetics, many of them by his colleagues and students. They cover personal reflections and reactions, intellectual legacies, chromosomal polymorphisms, genetic load and life cycles, speciation and mating behavior, and molecular studies. Annotation c.
