The Flamingo's Smile by Stephen Jay Gould
Evolutionary theory is the theme that binds together these essays on such seemingly disparate topics as the feeding habits of flamingos, flowers and snails that change from male to female and sometimes back again, and the extinction from baseball of the .400 hitter.
Daring and thought-provoking . . . A lively retelling of the very real conflict between creationism and evolution in America.
