Reading

Stearns, S.C. & Hoekstra, R.F. (2000) Evolution - An Introduction
Oxford University Press 0198549687
[main book recommendation for SC0060-3, a good overall text]

Graur, D. & Li, W. (2000) Fundamentals of Molecular Evolution 2nd ed.
Sinauer 0878932666

[particularly recommended for SCM009-M, but a bit heavy-going in places]

Majerus, M., Amos, W. & Hurst, G. (1996) Evolution - The Four Billion Year War
Addison-Wesley-Longman 0582215692

[good text, but thin on molecular topics]

Maynard-Smith, J. & Szathmary, E. (1995) Major Transitions in Evolution
Freeman-Spektrum 0716745259

[good text, but a tad dry and uneven emphasis]

Page, R.D.M. & Holmes, E.C. (1998) Molecular Evolution: A Phylogenetic Approach
Blackwell Science 0865428891

[useful for SCM009-M, but overly focussed on maths & analysis at times]

Li, W. (1997) Molecular Evolution
Sinauer 0878934634
[long and often tediously focussed on maths & analysis, but some worthwhile sections]

There are copies of some of these books in the LRC, Thompson Library has several copies
of many of them,
and Waterstones Bookshop in Station Road stocks some of them.
