Strange Survivors

“”“This volume contains an engaging series of essays about Darwinian natural selection. This text would make for excellent supplemental reading in a lower level undergraduate course; it it is also ideally suited for the general reader. Summing Up: Highly recommended.”” —CHOICE magazine “Strange Survivors presents some of the most remarkable examples of animals’ survival mechanisms in an accessible, scientifically accurate, and humorous way. Reading this book was like sitting down to enjoy a chat on the wonders of the natural world with a close friend.“” —Marie McNeely, PhD, cofounder of People Behind the Science and Unfold Productions “Strange Survivors is technically accurate and isn’t shy with scientific terms, but never in a manner that’s intimidating or overbearing. This isn’t fiction—you have to think as you read, but the reward is an increased understanding of the astonishing variety of life on Earth and the strategies species use to survive.” —Peter Cawdron, author of Anomaly“
