From the reviews:
" I have just read through your book. It is admirably clear, and very accurate about evolution. It should convince any unbiased reader of the fact that there is overwhelming evidence for evolution, and that Darwinian natural selection is the major cause of evolutionary change." (Professor Brian Charlesworth F.R.S., Institute of Evolutionary Biology, University of Edinburgh)
" Your students are lucky indeed. This is the clearest, most comprehensive and accessible compact account of science that I have seen. I was amazed by your clarity of thought and your comprehension of many subjects that come from diverse areas of science, philosophy, and history. You have really avoided almost all the pitfalls that even the most experienced scholars fall into at times. Really a wonderful treatment." (Professor Kevin Padian, Department of Integrative Biology & Museum of Palaeontology, University of California at Berkeley)
" I would make this book required reading for all students entering University science courses". (Dr. Robert Old, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Warwick)
" Many authors, such as Dawkins, Dennett and Grayling, have discussed at length various aspects of religion and its conflict with the logic of science. In this excellent book, John Ellis ignores the moral and societal aspects of the science/religion argument and instead concentrates on exploring the way science works, and the way it doesn't, in the context of biological evolution. It clearly sets out the fundamental principles of science and how they differ from a simple deference to authority, the basis of all religions. It then examines in detail the Darwinian framework for evolution by natural selection, and the numerous lines of evidence that, independently, overwhelmingly support the theory. This is, quite simply, the best and most easily understood presentation of the arguments I have ever read." (Dr. Geoff Oxford, Department of Biology, University of York)
" I have just had the very enjoyable and instructive experience of reading your 'How Science Works', and think that it is exactly the kind of thing that should be sent to every school and indeed every school pupil, not to say every university student too, in the country. I hope it is! and write to applaud its clarity and organisation, and the way it grips attention from the opening words." (Professor Anthony Grayling, School of Philosophy, Birkbeck College, London)
"I read your manuscript with interest, and thought it was a clear and precise introduction to evolution." (Professor Steve Jones, Department of Genetics University College London)
Product Description
Evolution is just a theory, isn’t it? What is a scientific theory anyway? Don’t scientists prove things? What is the difference between a fact, a hypothesis and a theory in science? How does scientific thinking differ from religious thinking? Why are most leading scientists atheists? Are science and religion compatible? Why are there so many different religious beliefs but only one science? What is the evidence for evolution? Why does evolution occur? If you are interested in any of these questions and have some knowledge of biology, this book is for you.
