I looked at it for quite some time before deciding to buy it.I did not care for the pitch; it was a bit bigger than I generally care for and was probably chosen for the 45+ age group that are most likely to read this book.But, I picked it up. It is a keeper. It is incredible. It is so enjoyable to ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "History of science can be fun--this is a thoroughly enjoyable book. Tim Birkhead is a fine storyteller. He also makes the point, very well indeed, that biologists should know the history of their discipline.

[ 5.0 stars ] "Everyone watches birds. Not everyone has binoculars, or takes hikes to see particular specimens to include on a life list.
