Reviews

"Fundamentals Of Molecular Evolution can serve both as an excellent text book for students of different biological disciplines and as a very useful introduction into molecular evolution for professional readers. Undoubtedly, this book should be an essential purchase for all libraries in higher education institutions with biology departments."--V. N. Ksenzenko and Y. A. Trotsenko, Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology
