This absorbing book is about genetics as it applies to the world around us. Its main aim is to show the ways in which inherited variation can help to explain the properties of natural populations: The difference between individuals, the extent and mechanism for transmitting characteristics from one generation to another, and the factors which control the frequency of a trait in a local group. It is thusof interest not only to naturalists but also to farmers and gardeners – indeed it is highly relevant to each one of us in the context of modern social planning.
