Homology: The Hierarchical Basis of Comparative Biology

Rating:
Summary: Phew, what a mess! But it's fun.
Review: As Dr. David Wake put it in a review of this book, homology is a concept that serves too many masters. Choose your favorite definition and run with it, but read this book first to shop around for different definitions. They're all in there, from Roth to Goodwin to Rieppel or Shubin. Many different perspectives, little agreement or hope for resolution.
