Data Analysis, Modelling & Biocomputing
We present an extremely varied collection of new titles on 
data analysis, modelling, biocomputing and phylogenetics. 
These include Marc Mangel's The Theoretical Biologist's 
Toolbox, Ralf Blossey's Computational Biology and a new 
edition of Bryan Manly's Randomization, Bootstrap and 
Monte Carlo Methods in Biology. Lecointre & Le Guyader's 
Tree of Life has been translated from the French and 
presents an excellent overview of phylogenetics. At a more 
applied level, Norman Owen-Smith's Introduction to 
Modeling in Wildlife and Resource Management provides 
students with the skills to develop their own models.
