Evolution by Jay Hosler
Illustrated by the brilliant duo Kevin Cannon and Zander Cannon, this volume is written by the noted comic author and professor of biology Jay Hosler. "Evolution" features the same characters introduced in the highly regarded "The Stuff of Life: A Graphic Guide to Genetics and DNA", now here to explain the fundamentals of the evolution of life on earth. On the heels of explaining to his planetary leader the intricacies of human genetics in "The Stuff of Life", the intrepid alien scientist Bloort-183 is charged in this sequel with covering the wider story of evolution. Using the same storytelling conceit that "Plenty" magazine declared "so charming that you won't even notice you've absorbed an entire scientific field" and that caused Seed to pick "The Stuff of Life" as a best book of 2008, "Evolution" brilliantly answers Wired's demand, "What's the solution to America's crisis in science education? More comic books!"Jay Hosler is a cartoonist and a biology lecturer at Juniata College. His first graphic novel (Clan Apis) won a Xeric Award and was chosen for the YALSA's 2002 Popular Paperbacks for Young Adults list. His book Evolution: The Story of Life on Earth was chosen by the Junior Library Guild in 2011, was a YALSA Best Graphic Novels for Teenagers nominee in 2012, and was included in the Texas Library Association's Maverick Graphic Novel Reading List. He and his wife, as well as their two tiny nerdlings, live in central Pennsylvania.
