Reviews for Endless Forms Most Beautiful: The New Science of Evo Devo

""[Carroll] reveals a remarkable series of insights into how evolution has shaped-and continues to shape-the wondrous assortment of creatures that share this planet with us. He emerges as the new, user-friendly public face of evolutionary science."" -- Thomas Hayden - US News & World Report ""Carroll is a gifted writer... In light of this new understanding (Evo Devo), the objections to evolutionary theory based on transitional gaps and irreducible complexity become more obtuse than ever."" -- Library Journal ""Combines clear writing with a deep knowledge."" -- Publishers Weekly
