Eight Enlightening Essays on Evolution. Engaging. Excellent.

In this slim volume is a gathering of eight enlightening essays that have, as their thematic nexus, the concept of evolution. The contributors have written on evolution in terms of: biology and its historical roots (an essay that brought me back to a unique course I took in my freshman year at Harpur College SUNY); devolopment of the embryo; human history since the last ice age; the city; developmental biology and the emergence of human capacities; the novel; the cosmos; and the unfolding, tool-driven revolutionary birth of science. This is informative intellectual thinking at its best. Highly recommended. Reviewed by Gerry Stern, founding partner, Stern & Associates and HRconsultant.com InfoCenter.
