    <body><![CDATA[This is one of the best popular science books I've read in a while.  It is an explanation of Evo Devo and the contributions the discipline has made to genetics and our understanding of evolution.<br/><br/>Carroll takes the reader through key experiments, many of which he was involved in.  This is an excellent way of getting across difficult concepts.  It takes a bit of effort on the reader's part, but it's worth it.<br/><br/>The final chapter is absolutely amazing.  It is the single best argument for science and evolution (as opposed to against religion / intelligent design) that I've read.  In fact, it may be the only argument that I've read that concentrates on the science -- and tries to get people excited about the science -- rather than spending time slamming religion.<br/><br/>I highly recommend it.<br/><br/>]]></body>
