Industry Reviews "As a result of this interesting book, we are given to understand that there are many things we do not yet know about biological science, and there are many things about which scientific knowledge cannot suffice." Boston Review - Kurt Jensen (03/19/1997)
"Whether naturalists or cowboys, whether bluegrass aristocrats or racetrack touts, whether distinguished academics or little girls gone horse-crazy, all readers with an interest in these large, remarkable animals are bound to be fascinated by Budiansky's knowledge, by his original thinking, by the authority with which he says what many scientists lack the wisdom or the courage to say, and by the ferocity and tenderness of his voice. New York Review of Books - Elizabeth Marshall Thomas (05/15/1997)
"Mayr's book is a long essay on how biologists study living things on the large scale of organisms and their families. Its range is enormous." New York Times Book Review - Ann Finkbeiner (07/13/1997)
