New Hardcover Evolution Book Based Upon Junior Skeptic

New Hardcover Evolution Book Based Upon Junior Skeptic
Borrowed from Skeptic Forum:

Daniel Loxton Wrote:The Skeptics Society is proud to reveal the first full-color, hardcover, illustrated English-language book based upon Junior Skeptic.

Published by Kids Can Press (February, 2010), Evolution: How We and All Living Things Came to Be is a straight-ahead introduction to the fact of evolution, to its mechanisms, and to the misunderstandings that surround it. The book aims to explain how evolution works — and how we know for a fact that it happens. It is suitable for readers aged 8–13.

Initial Reviews:

Quote:The best damn evolution book for kids, period.
— Michael Shermer
(Why Darwin Matters: The Case Against Intelligent Design)

Quote:A wonderfully clear, up-to-date, and well-illustrated account of how evolution works. The scientific content is first-rate.
— Donald Prothero
(Evolution: What the Fossils Say and Why It Matters)

Quote:A full-throated defense and explication of Darwin’s theory…kept light and accessible by Loxton’s sense of humour and breezy prose style.
— Quill & Quire

When I first looked at the title of the thread I thought it said "hardcore evolution"... Then I realised it didn't. Now I'm sad.

I predict that it will be banned in the Bible Belt.
