This volume is the 33rd in this series, which includes 32 numbered volumes and an unnumbered supplement. Several special volumes have also been published as separate monographs. This volume, like the others in the series, has chapters devoted to a broad spectrum of topics. Indeed, the editors continue to solicit manuscripts on subjects covered by the encompassing rubric of Evolutionary Biology. "Volume 33 continues the grand tradition of Evolutionary Biology in being the most comprehensive series in the field. The chapters are always up-to-date, informative, and stimulating; sometimes infur

The nature of science is to work on the boundaries between the known and the unknown. These boundaries shift as new methods are developed and as new concepts are elaborated (e.g., the theory of the gene, or more recently, the coalescence framework in population genetics). These tools allow us to address questions that were previously outside the realm of science, and, as a consequence, the boundary between the knowable and unknowable has shifted. A study of limits should reveal and clarify the boundaries and make sharper the set of questions. This book examines and analyzes these new limits as

Volume 30 brings readers up to date on the investigation of eminent evolutionary biologists and paleobiologists. Contributions explore such topics as + adaptation in Drosophila and the role of cytochrome P450s + Population genetics and species conservation of the cheetah + germ--layer theory + assymetry in the mammalian skeleton + genetic diversity of marine fish + the phenomenon of industrial melanism + the variation in lizard cranal kinesis. Other chapters focus on such issues as overdominance and its relation to higher mutation--rate estimates and t

PRAISE FOR LIGHT YEARS AND TIME TRAVEL "This immensely likeable work of pop science traces `man’s enduring fascination with light,’ from Aristotle’s plans for a death ray (burning enemy ships with a giant array of mirrors) to a recent experiment that seems to have sent Mozart’s 40th Symphony faster than light, and thus back through time. Clegg is very good at explaining the bizarre properties of light." -The Guardian "A fascinating book on a fascinating subject. It brings together all aspects of light in an unusual and compelling manner." -Sir Patri
