Microcosmos: Four Billion Years of Evolution from Our Microbial Ancestors

Rating:
Summary: Good but lacks depth
Review: Worth reading for some intersting facts, but I prefer the similar "Vital Dust" by Christian de Duve, which seems to convey far more information in the same number of pages, although it is also less easy to read. Microcosmos also contains one surprising error that creationists will like, by stating wrongly that no species has ever been seen to evolve into a new species.
