Wonderful Life: The Burgess Shale and the Nature of History by Stephen Jay Gould

3.0

Small Wonder

If you're interested in paleontology and evolution, you'll definitely want to give Wonderful Life a try. While the book may not be the most thrilling read, it is packed with fascinating details about the history of animals and nature, and Stephen Jay Gould's writing is clear and well done.

As a British Columbian myself, I was particularly drawn to the book's focus on the Burgess Shale, and I found it to be a valuable account of this important area of scientific discovery.

While some may find the book a bit dry, I appreciated its attention to detail and the depth of knowledge it offers. So if you're looking to learn more about the evolution of life on Earth, I would definitely recommend giving Wonderful Life a read.

2.8/5
