About this product
Product Information
The first novel from the brilliantly unconventional Nicola Barker is a tale of gambling, allergies, music and dogs, set in some of Londons less scenic locations. Chance meetings between its cast of eccentric individuals Ruby the bookie's cashier, violently disturbed (and disturbing) Vincent, Samantha the would-be cabaret singer, wilfully sickly Sylvia and Little Buttercup the never-quite-made-it greyhound result in the unlikeliest of couples; and theres always the risk that it could all work out disastrously as characters select each other and try or dont try to make winning combinations. But, as Ruby, the storys soft-centred heroine, observes: Losing, thats the whole point of the gamble.

"In this age of mounting mistrust between science and religion in American society--especially in America's classrooms--David Sloan Wilson's Evolution for Everyone comes as a breath of fresh air. Without stooping to condemn those whose religious beliefs lead them to reject evolution, Wilson clearly but gently shows how evolution is essential to understanding all aspects of our daily lives. Wilson knows the power of a good story--and most of his 36 chapters are short, riveting accounts of evolution and the scientists who have puzzled out the intricacies, and importance, of understanding evolution in human life. Evolution for Everyone fills a gap in understanding evolution, and will help in the much-needed bridge building across the divide that has threatened educational values in recent years."--Niles Eldredge, Division of Paleontology The American Museum of Natural History New York, New York " Evolution for Everyone is a remarkable contribution. No other author has managed to combine mastery of the subject with such a clear and interesting explanation of what it all means for human self-understanding. Aimed at the general reader, yet peppered with ideas original enough to engage scholars, it is truly a book for our time. "--Edward O. Wilson, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of On Human Nature "A mind-stretching and unforgettable synthesis of biology, psychology, religion, and politics, this engrossing story is evolutionary biology at its very best." --Martin Seligman, author Learned Optimism and Authentic Happiness "There tend to be two types of science books, those for professional scientists and those for the general public. Every once in awhile a book comes along that bridges this gap, and David Sloan Wilson's Evolution for Everyone is just such a book--a well written, page-turning narrative that can be enjoyed by anyone, that also contains original ideas that simply must be read by professional scientists because they push the science forward. I was amazed by how much new ground Wilson covers, how many new ideas he presents, so in this case "everyone" means just that: general readers and professional scientists alike."-Michael Shermer, Publisher of Skeptic magazine, columnist for Scientific American , and the author of Why Darwin Matters " Evolution for Everyone is tremendous fun. But don't be deceived. David Sloan Wilson is a master biologist, who just happens to be a wonderful story teller."-Sarah B. Hrdy, author of Mother Nature "Wilson does for evolution what Steve Levitt does for economics in his book Freakonomics .... Evolution for Everyone is full of gripping stories about the natural world, related with humor and a rare flair for language."-- Chicago Sun Times "With a clear passion for the subject, Wilson shows that understanding evolution is easy, even intuitive--it really is for everyone. If only everyone would read his book." -- New Scientist "Should be read by everyone interested in the natural world."-- Buffalo News, "In this age of mounting mistrust between science and religion in American society-especially in America's classrooms-David Sloan Wilson'sEvolution for Everyonecomes as a breath of fresh air.
