Reader Reviews:
impressively up to date account of evolution (1/1 people found this helpful)
As you expect with DK books it is well illustrated and clearly presented text. This is ideal as a first book that describes evolution. The book is well balanced and examines the development of the theory as well as the current viewpoint. What surprised me most as someone who works in the field is how up to date it is. It covers cloning, the potential problems of losing biological diversity and also epigenetics (although it does not use the technical terms). It does not go into dogma and shows how the ideas themselves have evolved and gives alternative opinions from a historical perspective.
This is an excellent book that children can enjoy as well as learn from.
Evolution Revolution (1/1 people found this helpful)
This new book from Robert is both informative, and fun to read. A wealth of information for inquisitive minds, but given in a format that isn't too heavy. The topics covered are often conveyed in a traditional book format containing a lot of text. This isn't and is a joy to read, or use for reference with school work. Highly recommended.
Very interesting book (1/1 people found this helpful)
I bought this book for my 8 year old son after he showed an interest in Darwin {he had been watching the series on TV} There were various book on offer for his age but when I saw this one written by Robert Winston I knew it would be worth the money ~ guess what I was right! Clearly written, great illustrations, answered my son's questions in a way I couldn't. His dad and grandad have also been seen reading it and learning from it. My son really likes how the animals have evolved and he is teaching us a thing or two!

I found this book very interesting, and found out lots of things I did not know. Harry Webb aged 10.
Darwin for kids (3/3 people found this helpful)
This book is perfect for children that so frequently ask "why". Many answers in a style for children of all ages up to 70! Excellent.
