For 400-plus pages Tallent goes into absorbing detail about their anatomy and morphology, their behavior, their ecology and life history, their diet and their evolution. Especially good is his recounting of their fossil record. My personal favorite was a chapter entitled "Why Turtles Are So Slow."(less)
