In this book, George McGhee describes the ubiquity of the phenomenon of convergent evolution and connects it directly to the concept of evolutionary constraint--the idea that the number of evolutionary pathways available to life are not endless, but quite limited. Convergent ev…
This book covers the principles and methods of plant breeding, while elementary principles of Genetics are also explained here in detail. The recent advances in Molecular Genetics have resulted in the use of Biotechnology as the modern method of breeding. Such cutting-edge advan…
The study of genetic exchange resulting from natural hybridization, horizontal gene transfer, and viral recombination has long been marked by controversy between researchers holding different conceptual frameworks. Those subscribing to a doctrine of 'species purity' have traditi…
This book investigates the processes associated with evolutionary divergence and diversification. The focus, as the title indicates, is on the role played by the exchange of genes between divergent lineages. The study of genetic exchange resulting from natural hybridization, hor…

Culture can be a significant contributor to, or hindrance to, a team's success. Research has clearly established that failing to have a cohesive team culture creates a severe challenge to any team effort. Culture is also something that everyone brings with them to the team. Yet,…
