When I use terms not in regular circulation like linkage disequilibrium, or those which I suspect aren't as well understood as I think they should be, like random genetic drift, I usually make reference to the companion website to Mark Ridley's text Evolution (if you followed the links to the terms you will note this). If you have a little spare time you should check it out, it isn't too taxing. Of course, those with a strong lay interest in evolution might want to purchase Ridley's Oxford Reader anthology, Evolution. This is the closest thing to "airport reading" that I've seen that still remains technical enough to add value to your knowledge base.
