Requirements: .ePUB reader, 60 Mb
Overview: From a renowned biologist and best-selling author, a whole new way of looking at living organisms: reading them as documents describing ancient worlds
“Richard Dawkins’s new book is a glorious affair. Profusely illustrated in color by Jana Lenzová, it is arguably his most joyous ode to the wonders that evolution has wrought in the animal world.”—Philip Ball, Science
An exquisitely camouflaged lizard has a desiccated landscape of sand and stones “painted” on its back. Its skin can be read as a description of an ancient desert, a world in which its ancestors survived. Such descriptions are more than skin deep, however. They penetrate the very warp and woof of the entire animal.
