Editorial Reviews

Offers 14 examples of computer code for algorithms for investigating biological evolution. Each contribution contains unique code segments, documentation, a description of the operations performed, the rationale for the chosen approach, and problems the code overcomes or addresses. All of the codes can be downloaded from the CRC web site; the editor has not verified any of them. Subject and author indexes are included for the bibliography, but not for the text as a whole. The third volume probably concludes the series; the first two describe new research and types of applications. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
