About this book

John Maynard Smith's pre-eminence in the field of evolution is based in the main on original research contributions coupled with an uncanny ability to reveal simple interpretations of apparently intractable problems. This volume contains a collection of new and original essays, spanning the whole field of evolution, all of which are inspired by his writings.
