Evolution explains how and why living organisms change over generations as they adapt to their surroundings. In this engaging book, David Burnie (a recipient of the Rouen-Prance Science Book Award) elucidates "Evolution." A century and a half after the concept of "Evolution" was first proposed, he describes how and why "Evolution" occurs. To this day, "Evolution" remains one of the most controversial fields in human knowledge. The "Science Frontiers" series combines vivid illustrations with professional yet accessible text, more clearly explaining the most important scientific topics of today than ever before.
