Into The Jungle ( a paperback for students)
Into the Jungle invites students to step into the lives of naturalists who followed their dreams, and often risked their lives, to explore the unknown and who made some of the most important discoveries about how life evolved.
Just published and out in time for-and to celebrate-the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin and the 150th anniversary of the publication of The Origin of Species, Sean B. Carroll's Into the Jungle: Great Adventures in the Search for Evolution brings the science of evolution to biology students at any level, regardless of their college major or career path. Each of the nine stories in this brief reader chronicles the dramatic adventures of an influential zoologist, geologist, paleontologist, or geneticist on their path to some of the most important discoveries that have shaped our understanding of how life has evolved. Currently, Into the Jungle can be packaged for free-at no additional cost-with Pearson science textbooks
