From the reviews: "This book would be an ideal resource for students looking to learn what the implications of evolutionary biology have been. ... I enjoyed reading The Theory of Evolution and Its Impact, and would recommend it to anyone with a serious interest in evolutionary biology or the philosophy of biology. ... I also note that this volume, as professional and scholarly as it was, was a consistently interesting, even fun, book to read. ... anyone interested in evolution will discover something genuinely new in these pages." (P. William Hughes, Philosophy in Review, Vol. XXXIII (6), 2013)
