8. Title :- In the blink of an eye – how vision kick-started the big bang of evolution.
By :- Andrew Parker.
Published :-The free press, UK,2003 (300 pages)
Outline :- Outlines the history of scientists discovering the different ways light can be turned into color (reflection, refraction etc), and the way this is achieved in nature as means of camouflage, mating and distinction of species etc. Looks at the evolutionary development of the “eye” and attributes this to the major evolutionary development of species after the Precambrian. A good science read.
