on the low shelf

This book was a very enjoyable read. He takes complex concepts and puts them on the low shelf for non-scientist types to fully access. His humor is quirky and makes it a pleasant read. One of the most memorable points in the book, which has really stuck with me, is the explanation of the metamorphosis from caterpillar to moth / butterfly--from eating machine to gravy in a cocoon to beautiful flying creature. Amazing!
