Acquiring Genomes: A Theory Of The Origin Of Species by Lynn Margulis, Dorion Sagan
"I'm finished" as in I'm finished with this book. Got to page ninety and had to ditch it because it was terrible; not the idea, we've been taught symbiogenesis was how chloroplasts and and mitochondria were acquired in plant and animal cells, but i feel like they didn't really connect symbiosis and symbiogenesis- explanations were skimpy and examples didn't go as in depth as I'd like.
Other stuff that annoyed me: defining terms after the fact, 'breathe' used instead of 'uses as electron acceptor' because they didn't bother explaining redox reactions, a weak presentation of thermodynamics, and so on. Most of it was presentation of ideas that weren't backed up or explained.
