Everything started making sense when I stopped reading this

I don’t know how to determine the legitimacy of a textbook in a field outside my expertise, but this one certainly did a good job summarizing major topics in evolutionary biology. It contains a progressively scientific style which allows the reader to seamlessly transition from layperson examples to theories in biochem and evol. bio

Stolen from my friend who received a copy

It is with some sadness I came to the book's end. Nonetheless, it has been a fascinating examination of evolution and its consequences. Highly recommended.

Purchased this college textbook to learn Evolution on my own. The chapters are really long and you do get lost in the amount of information thrown at you.

Eğitimde bu tarz bir anlatım methodunun adı nedir bilmiyorum ama müthiş akıcı ve her şeyi birbirine bağlayan müthiş bir kitaptı.

20130118 Really excellent book. Concepts are clearly explained, with an abundance of supporting photographs, illustrations, and graphs. I'd like to read it again when I'm finished with school.
