A Beginner's Guide to How Living Things Adapt and Survive.
Change is an inescapable fact of life. The theory of evolution explains how and why living things change as they adapt to the world around them. One of the most subtle and far-reaching ideas in science, it is as relevant for us today as it was when life began on Earth.
In this compelling book, David Burnie explains what evolution is, how it takes place, and why - 150 years after it was first proposed - it remains one of the most contested areas of human knowledge.
'Essential Science' guides use a stimulating mix of lively illustrations and expert, jargon-free text to explain the most important scientific topics of the day - more clearly than ever before.
