Cloth. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. This fascinationg new book is markedly different from all previous work on evolutionary biology. Using the pony fish and its luminescent abdomen as the perfect evolutionary mystery, Williams explores the intricacies of nature's designs. Rather than telling us how or why the pony fish got its light, Williams explains why the pony fish keeps its light. He also explains some of our adaptations and maladaptations like the reproductive and excretory systems' sharing of parts. Included are charts, diagrams, endnotes, and an index. This copy is clean and solid. Seller Inventory # 001721
