The Beauty of the Beastly

Few writers have ever covered so many facets of biology so evocatively in one book. Angier describes the power of symmetry in sexual relations, the brutal courting habits of dolphins, the grand deceit of orchids, and the impact of male and female preferences on evolution, giving the reader "an awe-inspiring tour of nature".--San Francisco Examiner.
