Abstract
This is another of the books produced in the current debate over evolutionary processes, but it is not simply another rehash of Neo-Darwinism. Much of its interest stems from the rich mix of authors whose specialties range from paleontologists to molecular biologists and more. Each of the 16 chapters, written by one or two authors, was initially presented at a seminar held at the Australian National University at Canberra in February 1985. Each chapter begins with a useful abstract, and ends with a bibliography. The text is well-supplemented with line drawings and tables. I noticed only a few, insignificant typos.
