How the Zebra Got Its Stripes by Mellor Barbara
France's brightest young scientist lucidly explains the intricacies of the animal kingdom through the lens of evolutionary biology.
Charming 'just so' storiesNow and again Grasset finds order and coherence in the natural world. But Grasset is also sharply aware of those points where the cause-and-effect logic of scientific description cannot show the whole picture. He has even more fun describing the occasions when, frankly, nature goes nuts. -- New Scientist
Grasset adopts a breezily entertaining approach that avoids flippancy, aiming to popularize evolutionary biology. -- Publishers Weekly
The individual chapters offer tantalizing tidbits of often heady information, which should pique the interest of readers looking for something meatier than typical pop science. -- Booklist
Popular science fans will find this a breezy, enjoyable read. -- Library Journal
Informed and engaging. -- The Economic Times (India)
