Reviews

"Perhaps the highest compliment I can pay The New Foundations of Evolution is that having read it, I feel that I better understand the minds of my own fellow microbiologists. That Sapp makes his story so sparkling is an achivement all the more impressive when one remembers he must include a fair amount of taconomy, both antiquated and modern."--W.P. Hanage Science
"Penetrating and paradigm-shifting. Sapp expertly... brings alive the dynamism at the heart of one of the most significant revolutions in the history of biology."--American Scientist
"This book recounts in a very thoughtful and accessible way the historical making of a tripartite relationship, that of microbiology, biological classification, and evolution, and how this triangle is still evolving to generate a more holistic vision of evolutionary biology."--The Quarterly Review of Biology
