Reader Reviews
Ernst Mayr is one of my favorite natural science writers. He has the experience of a lifetime (to say the least, since he has over seventy active years in the field) in biology. Mayr has an exquisite writing style and lots of anecdotes to share, besides he surely is an intellectual though never makes you feel neophyte, on the contrary, he guides you with ease and a critic view on nature itself. "This is Biology" is enriched with personal opinions and, of course, reflects the authors' view modeled by only seven decades of experience among the best.
