About The Book
The textbook Evolutionary Biology was written and published in 1983 during which Minkoff was the head of the Biology department at Bates College. The book is written in a format to which it could be used in an evolutionary biology 101 course. The book contains over 25 chapters, for example, "The Origin and Early Evolution of Life." Although the book is out-of-date by now (as most college-level scientific textbooks become over several decades), Evolutionary Biology was extremely pivotal in discussing the various viewpoints and theories of meiosis and abiogenesis in relation to the origin of life and the evolution of the biologic species.

Famous quotes containing the word book:
“Those who first introduced compulsory education into American life knew exactly why children should go to school and learn to read: to save their souls.... Consistent with this goal, the first book written and printed for children in America was titled Spiritual Milk for Boston Babes in either England, drawn from the Breasts of both Testaments for their Souls’ Nourishment.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
