Hi all,

For all who are interested in the role of epigenetic factors in
evolution of animal kingdom I recommend that they visit my website
epigeneticscomesofage.com and browse my recent book Epigenetic
Principles of Evolution (Albanet Publishing, 2008, 880 pp, 327
illustrations) that appears next week in Amazon.com.

Unfortunately, this is one of the least informative web sites I have
yet encountered.  I don't see anything that actually describes the
epigenetic mechanisms and phenomena that are (rightly) claimed to be
so important.  I also cannot find anything about Albanet Publishing
except through some vague connection to Cursack Books, seemingly a
vanity press.

I would, indeed, be interested in seeing a cogent clear description of
epigenetic factors in evolution.  A well written,  objective essay
with good scientific citations would be a virtual shoo-in for
post-of-the-month here.

This makes it sound like you can /at/ the website browse the book, but
your friend and mine R Norman reports otherwise.
From here it appears the link to "Epigenetic Principles of Evolution"
is broken.  It says
http://epigeneticscomesofage.com/Epigenetic­_Principles_of_Evolution_Contents.html
(without line break, with hyphen mark '-' )

And 880 pages is a lot of browsing.

No doubt the previous Albanet book briefly reviewed at
http://biowww.net/biobooks_3_epigenetics%7Cchromatin.html
(if that works) is cheaper as well as shorter by 557 pages, but three
years behind.

r norman, are you saying that you browsed the 880-page book on the
website and you think that it's uninformative? this could save many
people a lot of time.

Go to the web site and see for yourself:  nothing to browse.

I clicked on "Publications" and saw a lot to browse,

But I didn't yet browse the new 880-page book.

I apologize to N Cabej for my mischaracterization.  I didn't notice
that clicking on the book would bring up its contents (the link is not
marked by the usual denotation that it is, in fact, a link).  There is
a lot of stuff in the book and it does seem like good science.   The
rest of the web site has nothing.

Still, there are a lot of more accessible sources available on the
virtue and significance of epigenetics. Just google the pair
"epigenetics evolution".   This might be a valuable addition but its
length is somewhat daunting.

Hmm.

http://epigeneticscomesofage.com/Introductory_Notes.html

...reads like a barely-coherent attack on neo-Darwinism.

One of many "crackpot" sentences from that page:

``Scientific candor requires us to plainly admit that despite the
  tremendous amount of effort, biology has never succeeded
  in showing how a change in gene(s) during evolution led to
  an evolutionary change in morphology.''
