pickI love to listen to intelligent people muse on the beginnings of life. This one is from a physicist‘s perspective and my mind is altered each time I listen to these types of audiobooks. Do I understand it all? Oh, my no! But it doesn‘t dampen my enthusiasm. And I love to learn about the processes scientists/biologists/etc undertake in this field of study.
“Metaphors and analogies, in turn, come laced with human stories and values, meaning that no discussion of scientific ideas—this one included—can be free of cultural bias.”
pickI orchestrated my read of this book to coincide with a trip to Galapagos. I also read Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle and Origin of Species beforehand. This all contributed to my enjoyment of this book.
The Beak of the Finch is focused on the Grants, a family of scientists studying Galapagos finches. Highlighting their work, Weiner illustrates visible evolution that is occurring around us right now, not centuries from now.
pickClearly for whatever reason I'm in the mood to read a lot this weekend! Finally finished this up; it's very dense, despite looking quite a slim book. Not a lot that was new to me, as someone who reads popular science about dinosaurs whenever I see something new, and follows dinosaur news idly, but some interesting titbits.
