The book is a portrayal of the adaptation in response to
man-made environmental changes on Earth triggered by mutagenic action and
polymorphic metamorphosis by the alteration of genetic configuration, which can
ensure the survival of a polymorphic species. This work is based on the current
understanding of a range of processes which contribute to the return of the
peppered moth from the brink of extinction namely the "Reverse
Swing", which may play a great role in the macro-evolutionary journey of
species. This book contributes to the shifting of our focus from the light of
natural selection to the molecular response of the gene against the backdrop of
man-made pollution. The book is well written with a historical review of
studies, drawing strength from the current work, leading to a comprehensive
approach. Care has been taken to select texts most relevant to the topic,
demonstrating that the author is familiar with key literature in the field. The
level of reference to relevant studies is appropriate, containing coherence and
clarity of presentation.
