I've given it a whopping 5 stars!
The title pretty much sums up the book but this is no dry
academic tome. There’s plenty of scope here for both the scientific reader and
the very not-so – which would be me!
I take the factual content on trust, supported by the wealth
of originating references, both to those who made the discoveries and to books
with more detailed information for those who want to go deeper.
What I especially like though is the language, full of
everyday terms and analogies. And the way the book is organised into clear
sections, each with shaded pages for extra data and a summary to close.
I’d say this was a great stab at making evolution accessible
to those like me, and a very good starter pack for those wishing to delve
further. Tell your friends?
