Conservation Book of the Month, June 2019: The Beak of the Finch by Jonathan Weiner

View this post on Instagram

It's a beautiful sunny morning (here at least) and the start of June somehow so time for the next #ocbookofthemonth! The Beak of the Finch by Jonathan Weiner. Last month was about extinction and this month is about evolution. This book also won the Pulitzer Prize, just like last month's read. Come join the conversation on Goodreads (link in bio)! 📚 . From the back cover: "On a desert island in the heart of the Gálapagos archipelago, where Darwin received his first inkling of the theory of evolution, two scientists, Peter and Rosemary Grant, have spent twenty years proving that Darwin did not know the strength of his own theory. For among the finches of Daphne Major, natural selection is neither rare nor slow: it is taking place by the hour, and we can watch." . #ocbookofthemonth #bookclub #sciencebooks #evolution #galapagos #finches #conservation #nature #biology #birdsarecool #islandbiogeography #ecology
