About the Book

Stunning images to reawaken us to the scientific process that drives the amazing diversity of life on earth Evidence of evolution is everywhere. Through 200 revelatory images, award-winning photographer Robert Clark makes one of the most important foundations of science clear and exciting to everyone. Evolution: A Visual Record transports readers from the near-mystical(human ancestors) to the historic (the famous 'finches' Darwin collected on the Galapagos Islands that spurred his theory); the recently understood (the link between dinosaurs and modern birds) to the simply astonishing.

Clark lives in Brooklyn, New York. David Quammen is an acclaimed science, nature, and travel writer. He is the author of fifteen books and hundreds of articles. According to the New York Times, Quammen is ""not just among our best science writers but among our best writers, period.""
