The Evolution of Vertebrate Blood Clotting

'Couldn't put it down! This book is simply wonderful. Although I already knew much of the science, it was explained in a way that helped me to put this work into the context of the larger narrative of molecular evolution.' - Kenneth R Miller, Brown University, USA 'A fully enjoyable discussion of the evolution of blood clotting that can be appreciated by everyone from the seasoned protein chemist to the student wanting to learn the logic behind evolutionary studies. Dr. Doolittle's clear and engaging writing style makes complex concepts easy to follow.' - Naomi Esmon, Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, USA 'What a lovely little book capturing the life work of one of the leaders in the study of the evolution of proteins. From lamprey to man, Dr. Doolittle writes about the evolution of the blood clotting system with a historical perspective. This was a very enjoyable read.' - Sandra Degen, University of Cincinnati and Cincinnati Children's Hospital, USA
