An accessible graphic introduction to evolution for the most
science-phobic reader
Illustrated by the brilliant duo Kevin Cannon and Zander Cannon,
this volume is written by the noted comic author and professor of
biology Jay Hosler. "Evolution "features the same characters
introduced in the highly regarded "The Stuff of Life: A Graphic
Guide to Genetics and DNA," now here to explain the fundamentals of
the evolution of life on earth. On the heels of explaining to his
planetary leader the intricacies of human genetics in "The Stuff of
Life," the intrepid alien scientist Bloort-183 is charged in this
sequel with covering the wider story of evolution. Using the same
storytelling conceit that "Plenty "magazine declared "so charming
that you won't even notice you've absorbed an entire scientific
field" and that caused "Seed "to pick "The Stuff of Life "as a best
book of 2008, "Evolution "brilliantly answers "Wired"'s demand,
"What's the solution to America's crisis in science education? More
comic books "
"Evolution," the most accessible graphic work on this universally
studied subject, takes the reader from earth's primordial soup to
the vestigial structures, like the coccyx and the male nipple, of
modern humans. Once again, the award-winning illustrations of the
Cannons render the complex clear and everything cleverly comedic.
And in Hosler, "Evolution "has an award-winning biology teacher
whose science comics have earned him a National Science Foundation
grant and an interview on NPR's "Morning Edition."
Let's face it: From adenines to zygotes, from cytokinesis to
parthenogenesis, even the basics of genetics can sound utterly
alien. So who better than an alien to explain it all? Enter Bloort
183, a scientist from an asexual alien race threatened by disease,
who's been charged with researching the fundamentals of human DNA
and evolution and laying it all out in clear, simple language so
that even his slow-to-grasp-the-point leader can get it. In the
hands of the award-winning writer Mark Schultz, Bloort's
predicament becomes the means of giving even the most
science-phobic reader a complete introduction to the history and
science of genetics that's as easy to understand as it is
entertaining to read.
