“For that audience, I think it will serve well and I recommend it strongly for university courses”  (The Quarterly Review of Biology, 6 March2013)

“Written is an accessible style, illustrated by many original and specific examples including animals, plants or fossils, this book has the advantage to be an excellent textbook devoted to students studying evolution or to their teachers.  It can be also recommended to anybody interested by the basic concept of evolution.”  (Mammalia, 28 June 2012)

"The style is lucid, the illustrations are lavish, and the length is just about right for an undergraduate course resource. Summing Up: Recommended. All students, researchers/faculty, and professionals." (Choice, 1 September 2011)

"This exceedingly accessible and very attractive text is illustrated in full color." (Booknews, 1 June 2011)

"Although this is a text intended for third level students and professional biologists, Prof Arthur's book brings anyone with more than a passing interest up to date on the mechanisms involved in evolution, and as he notes, we should go easy on the assumptions." (Science Spin, 1 May 2011)
