Wills, Christopher

The author articulates many aspects of biology through the ages, but his rapid shifts among different nature reserves can be disorienting. Biology students, fans of the author's previous books, and anyone interested in sustainability will appreciate his points.

The reader does not need a background in genetics or ecology to appreciate this last lecture-style book, but the storytelling of evolutionary biology is more palatable than the stories of Wills's travels. Chock-full of wonderful photographs, this book is strongly recommended for readers seeking insight into their world and the ecological places they visit.
