This much-desired book will be hard to bit. However, I need this type of new perspective on the field.
The first 40-ish pages focus on the point of the book and introduce natural selection. I feel that most of the book will be about trade-offs in nature and how can we successfully exploit then in agriculture.
Cool stuff!

The importance of this book is enormous. For now, I am reading in amazement. I have some basic knowledge of evolution mechanisms but I had never asked before what would be the practical application of natural selection on agriculture. The author is opening up a new world of constraints and perspectives...
