Graham Bell is Molson Professor of Genetics and the Director of the Redpath Museum at McGill University in Montreal.
This textbook gives a complete and easy-to-use account of the basic principles governing the central concept of evolutionary theory: selection. It describes how the experimental study of evolution has elucidated the process of selection and how it drives evolutionary change. Graham Bell, an internationally recognized evolutionary biologist, has written a simple text that avoids mathematical arguments or technical details, while giving a rigorous introduction to the field. The book is organized as a series of short sections, each designed to make a particular point, and illustrated whenever possible by experimental results. The Basics of Selection is the only textbook to give a comprehensive coverage of the process of selection. Its simple style and logical organization makes it readily accessible to all undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in evolution, evolutionary or ecological genetics, or any allied field in biology.
