Darwin Comes to Town by Menno Schilthuizen

funny hopeful informative medium-paced

4.0

Schilthuizen takes a look at how the urban environment influences the evolution of animals and plants.  He shows that evolution can happen rather quickly, within a few generations, rather than over thousands of years.  He also shows that humans are a part of the environment and not separate from it.  Each chapter is fairly short with numerous fascinating examples, making this a quick and interesting reading experience.
