The Red Queen

This was an excellent book. It looks at why we reproduce sexually. Honestly, sexual reproduction is not a very effecient way to reproduce, so why did we evolve that way? I didn't really come away from this book with any definite answers; however, I found a whole new set of questions and theories that I didn't know existed. The writer, Matt Ridley, does an excellent job of keeping what could be very complex and dry material entertaining and understandable. Definitely a must read for genetics or nature nuts. :)

Peanuts!

Oh, and, as an added bonus, I am:


You are Rerun!

And time goes by...

Wow. Another summer has sped by with the speed of light. I have piles and oodles of wonderful books to talk about. I've been very lax in keeping my blog up. :( I would feel bad about this, except that I know that no one reads it. LOL Anyway, a list of books that I'll be blogging about over the next week:

The Red Queen
Nature via Nurture
The Rice Mother
Giant Squid
The Probable Future
The Seven Daughters of Eve
The Divine Comedy: Inferno
... and many more.
