 * * * * *

A very straightforward book about evolution and the conflict people have with it, typically citing that evolution is 'by chance'. The Selfish Gene shows why this isn't so. Although it is written for the layman, a bit of education is required to understand some of the terminology. A truly ground-breaking book when it was released.
