Review

'... the book provides students with an easily gained insight and appreciation of just what it is that plant evolutionists do.' Dan Schoen, Trends in Plant Science

'... a thought provoking and readable volume.' John Warren, Scottish Agricultural College

' ... suitable for university students in Environmental Sciences, Agricultural Sciences, Botany and Plant Biology. It is particularly a useful book for updates. The book is highly recommended for the professional practitioner in the field as a background, for plant physiologists and people in related fields it provides a thorough review of the field as it now stands. It may stimulate many new ideas in these areas.' Vassiolios Sarafis, Journal of Plant Physiology

'There is no other comparable text available. As a textbook on variation in plants, this book is a classic.' Journal of Applied Ecology

Book Description

Our understanding of microevolution and the evolutionary history of the flowering plants has been transformed by the use of molecular techniques. This new edition reviews recent progress in its historical context, showing how hypotheses and models developed in the past have been critically tested via these new techniques.
