About this book

Brings together the diverse array of theoretical and empirical applications of quantitative genetics under one cover, in a way that is both comprehensive and accessible to anyone with a rudimentary understanding of statistics and genetics.
`...An outstanding achievement. It gives a comprehensive coverage of the principles of the inheritance of continuous traits and of the ways to analyze them, covering both classical and modern methods with clarity and depth. The book will be of value to students and researchers in areas ranging from population and evolutionary biology to human disease and animal breeding. I am certain it will become a standard reference for years to come' William G Hill.
