There's not a weak piece in the bunch. Kolbert's choices provide a sense of major themes in science today, with five p ieces focused on evolution and seven on environmental topics. As Kolbert notes, Darwin's ideas seem ever more central to our culture, even as their implications continue to challenge us. As Benjamin Phelan shows, there's controversy even am ong biologists about some aspects of evolution, such as whether humans are still evolving today; Phelan presents the evidence that we are. John Broome discusses the ethics of climate change while Michael Specter is insightful on the difficu lties of measuring one's carbon footprint; he concludes counterintuitively that, in many cases, it may make more environmental sense to purchase imported food t han to buy locally.
