This book emphasizes discussion of the underlying principles of the theory of quantitative genetics which provides the bridge between the observable statistical properties of a character and the gentic factors, which together with environmental factors, determine the expression of the
character. "An essential reference for anyone concerned with quantitative genetics. . . . Provides the only review available of the parts of quantitative genetics relevant to evolutionary theory."-- Science

[Kenghis Khan · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is hard to beat as a mathematically and biologically rigorous and satisfying introducton to the ideas behind quantitative genetics. It is a pity it is out of print, and sadly it made more sense to me than Falconer and McKay. Five stars way up.
