Am I a Monkey?Six Big Questions about EvolutionFrancisco J. Ayala

Francisco J. Ayala, 2010 Templeton Prize winer, declares evolution is not a threat to religion. In this book, Ayala cuts to the chase in a daring attempt to address, in nontechnical language, six perennial questions about evolution. Brief, incisive, topical, authoritative, Am I a Monkey? will take you a day to read and a lifetime to ponder.

Kingdom of AntsJosé Celestino Mutis and the Dawn of Natural History in the New WorldEdward O. Wilson and José M. Gómez Durán

One of the earliest New World naturalists, José Celestino Mutis began his professional life as a physician in Spain and ended it as a scientist and natural philosopher in modern-day Colombia. Drawing on new translations of Mutis’s nearly forgotten writings, this fascinating story of scientific adventure in eighteenth-century South America retrieves Mutis’s contributions from obscurity. A unique glance into the early world of science exploration, Kingdom of Ants is a delight to read and filled with intriguing information.

The Prism and the RainbowA Christian Explains Why Evolution Is Not a ThreatJoel W. Martin

God or Darwin? It is one of the most contentious conflicts of our time. It is also completely unnecessary, according to Martin, an evolutionary biologist and ordained elder in the Presbyterian Church USA. In this slim but powerful book, Martin argues that it is not contradictory to be a practicing, faithful Christian who accepts the science of evolution.

The Great Pheromone MythRichard L. Doty

For more than 50 years researchers—including many prominent sci-entists—have identified pheromones as the triggers for a wide range of mammalian behaviors and endocrine responses. In this provoca-tive treatise, renowned olfaction expert Doty rejects this idea and states bluntly that—in contrast to insects—pheromones in mammals do not exist.


The Evolution of ObesityMichael L. Power and Jay Schulkin

“Goes far beyond anything else that is available on obesity . . . Power and Schulkin deserve much credit for their bold attempt to combine evolutionary and reductionist explanations, and for their unflinching acknowledgment of complexity.” —Nature

Urban CarnivoresEcology, Conflict, and Conservationedited by Stanley D. Gehrt, Seth P. D. Riley, and Brian L. Cypher

With over half of the world’s human population now living in cit-ies, human-carnivore interaction in urban areas is a growing area of concern and research for wildlife managers, conservationists, urban planners, and the public at large. This volume brings together lead-ing international carnivore researchers to explore the unique bio-logical and ecological issues associated with mammalian carnivores in urban landscapes.


The Biology of Small MammalsJoseph F. Merritt

The first exploration of the lives of small mammals undertaken in decades, this book offers an engaging, in-depth discussion about a di-verse array of small mammals, from the rare Kitti’s hog-nosed bat of Southeast Asia to the bizarre aye-aye of Madagascar to the familiar woodchuck of North America.


Mammal TeethOrigin, Evolution, and DiversityPeter S. Ungar

“In this impressive, comprehensive volume Ungar explores every as-pect of mammalian teeth—their evolutionary origin, histology, devel-opment, and fundamental physiological role in fueling a high-energy, endothermic lifestyle. No mammalogist, paleontological or neonto-logical, will want to be without this exc ellent work.”
