Aquagenesis:
The Origin and Evolution of Life in the
Sea
Aquagenesis is an elegant look
at life in Earth's seas. By examining the
fossil record as well as living organisms
to trace the path of evolution, marine
biologist Richard Ellis finds the links
that bind every plant and animal to the
ocean. Ellis's graceful scientific
illustrations help readers visualize
ancient sea creatures like the buzz-saw
shark.

The Triumph of an Idea
Science journalist Carl Zimmer explores
the history and future of one of the most
important ideas in human history in his
lavishly illustrated Evolution, a
companion piece to the epic PBS series of
the same name. With public debate on the
topic raging hotter than it has since the
Scopes trial, it's time for a refresher
course on the basic facts. Zimmer delivers
that and more in a very appealing
package.
