Editorial Review: One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2007 "Bonner argues that size is a driving force for all of biology. . . . [H]e demonstrates convincingly, size dictates everything from an animal's shape and appearance to its locomotion, speed, voice and social organization."--Wray Herbert, Washington Post Book World "From giant dinosaurs to cellular clockworks, people are astonished by the large and fascinated by the small. But as this diminutive book describes with elegant simplicity, size is far more important than mere curiosity- it 'drives the form and function of everything that lives.' . . . Drawing parallels from physics, engineering, and human (and animal societies), Bonner vividly illustrates how something apparently so simple as size is actually so fundamentally important."--Choice "Bonner's main argument in Why Size Matters is that changes in size are not the result of changes in shape. . . . Bonner has written a book in a friendly voice that enlarges the picture of how everyone, big and small, thinks of size and why it matters very much."--Biology Digest
