Industry Reviews
"WHAT EVOLUTION IS is not the last book you will ever need on the subject [of evolution]. Too much jargon still clings to Mayr's professorial tweed jacket, and he's not too generous with the anecdotes and oddities you will find in most popular work son evolution. But if you approach the book without unrealistic expectations, you will find a wise and illuminating account that sorts out the complexities of evolution with insight and an authority often lacking elsewhere. The book makes some modest demands on its readers. Mayr isn't interested in an audience that won't take a little time to think. I came to think of WHAT EVOLUTION IS as a friendly textbook, less daunting and less exhaustive than the real thing, and a lot easier to carry on the subway."
New York Times Book Review - Paul Raeburn (12/16/2001)
"Mayr's book is the one for readers who prefer an author of great stature, and do not mind being baffled occasionally."
Times (London) - Mark Ridley (05/08/2002)
