"Sparked by a controversial debate in February 2014, Bill Nye has set off on an energetic campaign to spread awareness of evolution and the powerful way it shapes our lives. In Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation, he explains why race does not really exist; evaluates the true promise and peril of genetically modified food; reveals how new species are born, in a dog kennel and in a London subway; takes a stroll through 4.5 billion years of time; and explores the new search for alien life, including aliens right here on Earth. With infectious enthusiasm, Bill Nye shows that evolution is much more than a rebuttal to creationism; it is an essential way to understand how nature works--and to change the world. It might also help you get a date on a Saturday night."

early review submitted by lawrencekl57 on November 7, 2014, 8:32am I haven't even read it yet, but I'm already sure it'll be great! I love you, Bill Nye!
early reveiw submitted by yanhu on August 8, 2017, 3:07pm I haven't even read it yet, but I have watched bill nye the science guy videos. :D
Interesting, but not perfect submitted by ajstemp on June 27, 2018, 3:50pm I enjoyed Nye's take on the issues he mentions, and the science he includes is definitely thorough and accurate. His opinions come off too strongly at points (to a fault); however, the information is worthwhile.
