Why read it?

1 author picked The Basics of Evolution as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

It is generously illustrated with color photographs and charts. Drawings and captions show "How Fossils Form," "Geological Time," and "Evidence in the Rocks," and Anne Wanjie's text is inviting and clear.
