Worth Buying

Williams succeeds in translating a currency of knowledge held by all biologists into an understandable and interesting lesson for the non-biologist. It is a bit like a blend of Sheppard's "Natural Selection And Heredity" with Morris' "Naked Ape". Aside from reading it for the sake of interest alone, every first-year student of biology should have this on the shelf.
