For undergraduate courses in Evolution

By presenting evolutionary biology as a dynamic, ongoing research effort and organising discussions around questions, this best-selling text helps students think like scientists as they learn about evolution. The authors convey the excitement and logic of evolutionary science by introducing principles through recent and classical studies, and by emphasising real-world applications.

In the 5th Edition, co-author Jon Herron takes the lead in streamlining and updating content to reflect key changes in the field. The design and art program have also been updated for enhanced clarity.

I do not give 5 star ratings on textbooks often, and am typically very critical but I can't deny that I am extremely impressed with this book. It is very well written, they are able to easily explain what is occurring during the stages of viral life cycles and thouroghly explain the statistics and graphs presenting in case studies and articles. It provides multiple case studies to support the claims they are making. So if one example doesn't work for you another will. I am normally not a textbook heavy user, in classes I prefer to pay attention to the professors lecture and slides and what they say but this book is so well written that it blasts my professors lecture out of the park. It is detailed and although each chapter is a little long the language is not overbearing enough that the reading is fatiguing. It is user friendly and hard to get lost in the lingo even 25 pages into a concept. Authors Jon C. Herron and Scott Freeman should really be proud of this piece of art they have made. I rented this book for a semester but I am almost certain I will buy it because it seems like a resource I would like to have on my shelf for reference in the future when I inevitably get assigned a book written by an idiot in the future. Well done Herron and Freeman, well done.

Complete package to understand as well as to appreciate the theory of evolution

Reviewed in India on 14 April 2018

The authors take very interesting and much-needed example-based learning approach to unravel the beauty of evolutionary analysis. The book has the right combination of theory, its algebraic treatment, and informative figures that aid in the understanding of concepts of evolution. Highly recommended.

It's an excellent evolutionary biology book for almost every level of knowledge

It's an excellent evolutionary biology book for almost every level of knowledge. Freeman & Herron had the capacity to turn some of most complicated topics in evolutionary biology in the most comprehensive chapters in this book.
Highly recommended if you're into learning evolution.

A good text and reference book

Reviewed in the United States on 3 September 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a serious text; over 800 large pages. It covers what used to be called genetics, and mixes it with development and evolution. This is appropriate because the fields have merged and should be studied together. Of course the cover image is the fruit fly, which we are learning is just a little human with wings. What used to be separate fields of study are merging, As we gather a deeper understanding of the genomic structures of species, we are seeing their relationship to ancient common ancestors. I have found the narrative of the text very understandable; not at all dry or staid. There are very many images, graphs, and illustrations. It is a rare combination of a text and a reference volume.
