CIVILIZATION
AND THE LIMPET
Martin Wells. I was delighted to read this book, wonderfully written by a mrine biologist a reader in zoology at Cambridge University,who takes us on an evolutionary journey whilst on an actual journey. He looks at the evolution of not so much the specific species, but of their physical characteristics - for example buoyancy, sight, protection. How does the apparently brainless sea urchin make decisions - why dont whales get the bends. This is a fascinating book, highly recommended for anyone interested in the creatures of the sea and for those who prefer high quality reading. |
