Book: Darwin’s Dangerous Idea
Author: Daniel C. Dennett
Reviewer: Reha Uzsoy, Clifton A. Anderson Distinguished Professor, Industrial and Systems Engineering

A fascinating review of the current issues in evolutionary biology and their philosophical implications. Professor Dennett has a rare gift for developing thought experiments that bring out the essence of a complex issue, and causes one to see connections that are not readily apparent but which give a new perspective. A thinking book, as well as a plain good read.
