eBooks, eBook Download (EPUB), &ldquo;Magisterial and uplifting . . . A brilliant, grandscale sampling of sixty-five million years of human evolution . . . It shows the sweep and grandeur of life in its unrelenting course.&rdquo; &mdash;The Denver PostStretching from the distant past into the remote future, from primordial Earth to the stars, Evolution is a soaring symphony of struggle, extinction, and survival; a dazzling epic that combines a dozen scientific disciplines and a cast of unforgettable characters to convey the grand drama of evolution in all its awesome majesty and rigorous beauty. Sixty-five million years ago, when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, there lived a small mammal, a proto-primate of the species Purgatorius. From this humble beginning, Baxter traces the human lineage forward through time. The adventure that unfolds is a gripping odyssey governed by chance and competition, a perilous journey to an uncertain destination along a route beset by sudden and catastrophic upheavals. It is a route that ends, for most species, in stagnation or extinction. Why should humanity escape this fate?Praise for Evolution&ldquo;Spectacular.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;Strong imagination, a capacity for awe, and the ability to think rigorously about vast and final things abound in the work of Stephen Baxter. . . . [Evolution] leaves the reader with a haunting portrayal of the distant future.&rdquo;&mdash;Times Literary Supplement &ldquo;A breath of fresh air . . . The miracle of Evolution is that it makes the triumph of life, which is its story, sound like the real story.&rdquo;&mdash;The Washington Post Book World, [PU: Random House Publishing Group], Seiten: 592, Random House Publishing Group, 2003<
