Product Description
Synopsis
This clear, candid, and generously illustrated book is written for the open-minded reader who does not understand the technical issues of evolution, but would like to, who sees everywhere the signs of a bitter political, philosophical, and educational debate, but does not know what to make of it or who to believe. It tells how science proceeds, what evolution is, how science knows that it has occurred and continues to occur, and what biologists can point to, in fossils and in the living world, as hard evidence of evolution. For its content and foundations, the book draws on zoology, botany, genetics, embryology, geology, geophysics, cosmology, astronomy, astrophysics, history, religion, and science education - everything expressed with a clarity that enables the general reader without a science background, as well as high school students and their teachers, to understand the argument.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but..., 19 Dec 2005
By A Customer
A good, concise explanation of the foundations of evolution. Two things prevent me from giving it five stars. By including a section on the Big Bang, Berra implies that it's OK for creationists to conflate the origin of the universe and the origin of species. The veracity or otherwise of evolution in no way depends on cosmology - the Big Bang could be overturned tomorrow with no impact on it whatsoever. Secondly, the book was published in 1990 and so doesn't provide any counter to the 'intelligent design' creationist movement. That's not Berra's fault but it does make the book slightly less useful today.
