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.
