Evolution at the molecular level / edited by Robert K. Selander, Andrew G. Clark, and Thomas S. Whittam

Near fine copy in the original stiff-card wrappers; edges very slightly dust-dulled and toned. Remains particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Physical description; xii, 350 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.
