{"product_id":"9781553801047","title":"Evolution: The View from the Cottage","description":"\u003cbr\u003eLiterary Nonfiction. Natural History. Translated from the French by Nigel Spencer. With all the attention given to \"creationism\" in the news these days, Jean-Pierre Rogel felt it was important to show how Darwin's concept of natural selection can be seen in action in everyday situations. Beginning with a familiar cottage scene that includes squirrels, loons, salmon and bears, Rogel expands his scope to explore the emerging field of evolutionary developmental biology, showing how genes play a role in the extraordinary diversity of the plant and animal kingdom. Readers may be surprised to discover which animal is most closely related to whales, how nature makes a fin into a paw, how salmon have adapted to gaps in fishing nets, and what really sets humans apart from chimpanzees.","brand":"Ronsdale Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47045299699952,"sku":"9781553801047","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781553801047_p0.jpg?v=1763755563","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781553801047","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
