Yeah, I know what you are thinking. So was I. But we were both wrong. Really.

Someone buy me this book. It looks really friggin’ cool. Since I know one of you will, you might want to check the comments to see if someone has already stepped up to the plate.

And I love it when someone well versed in science tries to write compelling copy. The results are often hilarious and usually unintelligible. Here’s how one online journal is pushing it:

The essential path of adaptive evolution is that genetic variation among individuals is translated by the process of development into phenotypic variability, which is then screened by natural selection for any design changes that enhance survival and reproductive success.

But the cover looks cool! (And this sort of stuff is right up my alley…)
