Reviews

Tom Kemp's book provides much to think about, ideas and models linking palaeobiology and evo-devo genomics ... such deeply considered, thoughtful syntheses can provide the materials to construct numerical models for testing. This is the role of Tom Kemp's book, and it has the advantage of being written lucidly and in a stye any graduate student could follow. Michael J. Benton, TREE
