Reading "The worm who took the snail as a taxi", I felt like I was holding in my hands a new Stephen Jay Gould. The author chooses the topics and tells us why and how the point of view of evolution. The style is quite technical but still as accessible as that of SJG. I hope the author will write us at least as much as the latter. I think this book is a must for those who loved the books of SJG.
