"Darwinian Dynamics is an excellent and masterful synthesis of the
current understanding about how evolutionary principles work at the
various levels of biological organization.... Much like Einstein's
theories of relativity extended classical mechanics, Michod's
multi-selection theory is an extension of classical selection
theory.... Well produced and current.... Michod has written what
should be a classic for decades to come."---Norman A. Johnson,
Bioscience
"Individuality and fitness, two of the most fundamental concepts in
evolutionary theory, are anything but simple. Theoretical biologist
Richard Michod reviews and extends the state of the art for these
subjects in Darwinian Dynamics.... [These are] some of the most
exciting advances in modern biology from one of its most able
practitioners."---David Sloan Wilson, Human Biology
