This title in other formats:Evolution: The Triumph of an Ideaby Carl Zimmer
Synopses & ReviewsReview:"Science writer Zimmer (At the Water's Edge) does a superb job of providing a sweeping overview of most of the topics critical to understanding evolution, presenting his material from both a historical and a topical perspective....[T]he writing is clear and concise, the text is carefully presented." Publishers Weekly Review:"[D]on't be misled by the polished prose, the gorgeous illustrations, the elegant design or the book's status as a 'companion volume': Zimmer neglects neither underlying biological concepts nor current controversies. His coverage is as thorough as it is graceful. This is as fine a book as one will find on the subject." Scientific American Review:"[T]he text moves smartly along, and Zimmer's expository conciseness is a high point of the text. He is also commendably clear in explaining the background of the Cambrian 'explosion' a half billion years ago and the highlights of the fossil record since, ultimately encompassing human origins. Popular science that will truly be popular." Booklist About the AuthorCarl Zimmer is the author of At the Water's Edge and Parasite Rex A former senior editor at Discover magazine, his column on evolution appears regularly in Natural History.
