Hello.  Has anyone seen the book Phylogenetic Analysis of Morphological
Data, John. J. Wiens, ed. (July 2000, Smithsonian Press)?    I was getting
ready to order, and it occurred to me that perhaps someone on the list may
know if this is a worthwhile book for a novice on the subject (such as
myself, with general biology/zoology background) to add to their library.
If using the techniques described in this book requires number crunching by
computer, then it will be of limited use to me  as I do not have access to
appropriate programs. I do have Mayr's book.  Is there another  book on this
subject besides these two someone can recommend?  Thank you.
