Customer Reviews

Fun to read....

The book covers evolution, past, present and future, on Earth and how this may work on other planets, even non-Earth type planets. The book is full of facts but also uses humor and imagination which makes it a fun, enjoyable yet educational book to read. I would snap up an updated version the second it hit the market. The images in the book really help support and add detail to the text. This book is one that seems to be quoted and debated a lot when it comes to life in the rest of the universe or about future evolution on Earth. A must for any library.

Superior science reporting

This is a very well written survey of the subject. Though it is more than two decades old, it still compares favorably with other recent books on the place of life in the universe.

Evolution Well Explained!

Bylinsky aptly chronicles evolution and gives believable and understandable options and alternatives to man's beginning and ongoing evolutionary process. Although Life in Darwin's Universe is 20 years old now the text is quite applicable and gives credence to current technology and scientfic endeavors. The text is written for the everyday reader and is appropriate for the younger reader also. Bylinsky's LIfe in Darwin's Universe is interesting, factual, prophetic, and well worth the time to read. I would personally enjoy an updated version and follow-up on current and prior observations and predictions. I enjoyed your book Dr. Bylinsky
