The Rough Guide to Evolution (Rough Guide Science/Phenomena)
This year, we run the risk of drowning in books about evolution and Darwin. This little book is a trulyuseful primer. Mark Pallen has pulled together a vast array of information, from early pre-Darwinianideas about organic change to an entertaining section on evolution on cult TV. He has even got it rightabout the role of Galapagos finches in Darwin s thinking, and cites much useful literature for anyoneinterested in exploring further. He does not pull any punches in the controversy of evolution versusreligion but tells it like it really is. It s a worthwhile book for anyone wanting a quick review or aneasy start into the way the world works. --Galapagos News
