"Outstandingly good... Coyne's knowledge of evolutionary biology is prodigious, his deployment of it as masterful as his touch is light."
"There are many superb books on evolution, but this one is superb in a new way - it explains the latest evidence for evolution lucidly, thoroughly, and with devastating effectiveness."
For all the discussion in the media about creationism and 'Intelligent Design', virtually nothing has been said about the evidence for evolution by natural selection. Yet, as this important book shows, that evidence is vast, varied, and magnificent. Why Evolution is True presents the evidence to demonstrate the 'indelible stamp' of the processes first proposed by Darwin. It is a crisp, lucid, and accessible statement that will leave no one with an open mind in any doubt about the truth of evolution.
