This remarkable book presents a rich and uptodate view of evolution that explores the farreaching implications of Darwin's theory and emphasizes the power, significance, and relevance of evolution to our lives today. After all, we ourselves are the product of evolution, and we can tackle many of our gravest challenges from lethal resurgence of antiobioticresistant diseases to the wave of extinctions that looms before us with a sound understanding of the science.
