[For a review of the original Russian (1982) edition see Zbl 0632.92010.] This is a comprehensive book on classical topics of population genetics including elements of evolutionary ecology. It is divided into two main parts, one containing deterministic models and the other stochastic models. In part one (after a short introduction into elementary genetic facts) the evolution of a population is described in a rather general way by renewal equations including fecundity and mortality functions as well as age dependency. The equations are then simplified, and in some detail the evolution of large panmictic populations is discussed for a single locus with two alleles as well as multiple allele systems. The discussion includes Fisher's fundamental theorem, a detailed study of the case of three alleles, different results about the existence of polymorphism and some extensions taking account of sex-limited and sex-linked characters. There is some material about populations with deviations from panmixia, about systems of linked populations and about environmental effects on the evolution process. A chapter on multi-locus models concludes the first part of the book. The second part begins with a general outline of diffusion models (including the diffusion approximation of the Fisher-Wright model and the Moran model as well as multidimensional diffusion models). The Kolmogorov equations are then discussed for a single-locus model of genetic random drift (without and with additional evolutionary factors like selection or migration). Finally genetic random drift phenomena are studied in subdivided populations. Each of the 13 chapters contains many references, valuable comments about the sources and supplementary notes.
