Professors Lynch and Walsh bring together the diverse array of theoretical and empirical applications of quantitative genetics in a work that is up-to-date, comprehensive and accessible to anyone with a rudimentary understanding of statistics and genetics. Central concepts are developed from first principles and illustrated with wide-ranging examples. The book reflects the recent influx of quantitative-genetic thinking into evolutionary biology and includes the latest techniques for QTL (quantitative-trait loci) analysis. Although written as a general text in quantitative genetics, the book will also serve as a basic reference for the seasoned professional.

I have nothing but the highest praise for this book, which will surely stand as the definitive treatment for many years to come. The content is comprehensive, the writing clear and concise, and the overall impression is of a masterly tour de force." * Warren J. Ewens, American Journal of Human Biology *
This important and useful book will have a permanent place on my desktop. Not only is this an essential reference book, but it is also an excellent textbook." * Christopher J. Basten, Theoretical Population Biology *
Conclusively, this book is to be highly recommended for anyone interested in a closer and clearer look at nature's most valuable beauty * its genetic variability." Elias Anastassopoulos, Economic Botany *
