Excellent book for the non-scientist

Cynthia Mills has given us an excellent introductory book for the non-scientist. It is intelligently written, easy to read, up to date and accurate.

This book is very good. I am very impressed by Cynthia Mills' ability to summarize so much information into an enjoyable read.

I think it would be a great book for an introductory course, as it is such a concise overview of theories leading up to Darwin's and continuing to new theories. I especially enjoyed the last quarter of the book as these newer theories are less familiar to me. The bibliography has given me new material to read.
