Endless Forms Most Beautiful: The New Science of Evo Devo and the Making of the Animal Kingdom

"Once in a while, though, a book comes along that not only transports the layman to the cutting edge of science, but helps transform the intellectual or cultural landscape... Sean Carroll's Endless Forms Most Beautiful... deserves to... EvoDevo is a complex and highly technical subject but Carroll manages magnificently to translate the debates into a lay language without patronising the reader.

Endless Forms Most Beautiful provides an essential glimpse into both the creation of lifeand the excitement of scientific discovery." (KENAN MALIK SUNDAY TELEGRAPH)

Carroll does something superb - something very few other popular science writers try to do. Instead of trying to merely recreate the excitement of teh scientist hot on the trail of something new, Carroll actually explains the source of the excitement to the reader... a book for those with a natural scientific curiosity.. never before has such an evolutionary synthesis had such an explanatory power. (MORNING STAR)

in attempting to make Evo Devo accessible to a wider readership... Carroll does it splendidly. (STEVEN ROSE THE GUARDIAN)
