The Evolution of Vertebrate Blood Clotting

“A fully enjoyable discussion of the evolution of blood clotting that can be appreciated by everyone from the seasoned protein chemistry to the students wanting to learn the logic behind evolutionary studies. Dr. Doolittle’s clear and engaging writing style makes complex concepts easy to follow.” –Naomi Esmon, Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation

“Couldn’t put it down! Although I already knew much of the science, it was explained in a way that helped me put this work into the context of the larger narrative of molecular evolution.” –Kennth R. Miller, Brown University

“Rated 5 out of 5 stars” –Stephan Köhler on “GoodReads.com”

“This marvelous book is a superb exposition on a complicated, essential defense mechanism in vertebrates that is well worth the reading for general students of biology and of life-long students of the field of hemostasis alike.” –The FASEB Journal, V 28, May 2014

“What a lovely little book capturing the life work of one of the leaders in the study of the evolution of proteins. From lamprey to man, Dr. Doolittle writes about the evolution of the blood clotting system with a historical perspective. This was a very enjoyable read.” –Sandra Degen, University of Cincinnati & Cincinnati Children’s Hospital
