In _This View of Life: Completing the Darwinian Revolution_, David Sloan Wilson writes a series of engaging stories—from the breeding of hens, to the timing of cataract surgeries, to the organization of an automobile plant. Through these stories he shows how an evolutionary worldview provides a practical toolkit for understanding not only genetic evolution, but also the fast-paced changes impacting our world and ourselves. What emerges is an incredibly empowering argument: if we can become wise managers of evolutionary processes, we can solve the problems of our age at all scales—from the efficacy of our groups, to our wellbeing as individuals, to our stewardship of the planet earth.
