Book Reviews of Assembling the Tree of Life
Book Review: A wonderful and very useful book
Summary: 5 Stars
Finally, a comprehensive review of global molecular phylogenies. Fascinating reading.
The only shortcoming is an incredible amount of typos (in figure headings in particular), plus an embarrassing error on the cover: mirror image of Strombus gigas used.
