An excellent introduction or review of molecular evolutionary principles.

I have been using this book as a study guide for my qualifying examinations in evolutionary biology & genetics. It is concise and well-illustrated. The citations to original papers are exceptional. The authors do an amazing job of making difficult material seem simple. I'm now considering using this book as the basis for a lecture course. Maybe for those who enjoy crunching equations for hours this is not the best text, but for everyone else who wants practical knowledge that is readily applicable to phylogenetic and bioinformatic research in the field of molecular evolution--I have seen no better text.

Good info, easy to understand

I ordered this to go along with a class on molecular systematics and evolution. So far it has been great. I haven't had a genetics class in a while, but I'm having no trouble following the reading. I'd definately recommend this book to anyone else new to the field of who is looking for a good desk reference.

One of the best out there

This is probably one of the best if not the best for beginners. I used this in grad school and reccommend this to all budding molecular evolutionists.

good text

I't a required text book. I've been using it for about 3 weeks. It gives good discription for bioinformatics problems.

In depth, informative

This is a very complex, indepth, informative book on molecular and genetic evolution. Explainations of genetic drift, mutation rates, times to fixation, patterns in evolutionary changes. Lots of statistical information on how allele frequencies change. Written for a knowledgable audiance with a good understanding of evolution and genetics. Gives informative understanding of trends in evolution beyond natural selection. Supports neutral theory of evolution quite strongly.
