Horseshoe Crabs and Velvet Worms: The Story of the Animals and Plants That Time Has Left Behind by Richard Fortey

4.0

Very interesting journey across the world, looking at species that have seen a lot and are still with us. As usual, Fortey adds his own personal touch with anecdotes of his travels and experiences. Not quite as amazing as Dawkins' "Ancestors' Tale", but still highly recommended. That comparison may not be entirely fair, since it is a somewhat different type of book. Just read both :-)
