Rezensionen

Lively and punchy ... Thompson's arguments are powerful and his examples are fascinating

'Fascinating, provocative... Ken Thompson presents a stimulating challenge to our perceptions of nature'

Vivid account ... with a light touch and a welcome sense of humour, Thompson reveals Darwin as an acute observer of flora as well as fauna

Thompson makes his case in a lively, readable style ... Better yet, he bolsters his argument with plenty of citations from the scientific literature, which adds welcome heft.
