Review
A series of entertaining booklets based on the Darwin Seminars at the London School of Economics. Vehicles for popularizing evolutionary theory, these slim, cross-disciplinary books have been called 'bulletins from the barricades of an intellectual revolution.' . . . They provide a quick look at how some people are applying evolutionary ideas today. -- R. Brian Ferguson, Natural History
