Description
'Whether you are an artist, illustrator, zoologist, pet-enthusiast or
simply curious, you will be intrigued, educated and inspired by this
extraordinary book.'---Tim Birkenhead, Archives of Natural History
'van Grouwâ€s beautiful anatomical illustrations are as informative and
scientifically rigorous as a statistical plot but also as aesthetically
pleasing as the pieces hanging in an art gallery. . . . van Grouw is
perfectly placed to communicate in a way that is conversational but also
precise, confidently knowledgeable, and often poetic. It seems too easy
to make a comparison with Darwin, yet it would be remiss not to.'---
Caitlin R. Kight, Trends in Ecology & Evolution'A hefty, gorgeous, yet
serious, book . . . stuffed with Katrinaâ€s exquisitely observed pencil
drawings. . . . A remarkable portrayal of the wonder of artificial
selection―an ancient process thatâ€s still going on today.'---Ben
Hoare, BBC Wildlife Magazine'You donâ€t need to be a scientist,
veterinarian, scientific illustrator or artist to fall deeply, madly in
love with this painstakingly accurate, stunning book.'---Grrl Scientist,
Forbes'A brilliant concept that is quite stunning in its presentation
and execution. . . . Katrinaâ€s writing is full of passion and
excitement for her subject. It is also intelligent, fluid, witty and
easily read & understood.'---Phil Slade, Another Bird Blog
'It is the human-wrought marvel of selective breeding, applied to a
dizzying array of domestic fauna, that is at the heart of Katrina van
Grouwâ€s Unnatural Selection. This massive and breathtakingly beautiful
book uses artificial selection―the means by which breeders promote
desired traits, turning ‘tame populations into more beautiful, more
useful, more productive, more efficient, or simply different
versionsâ€â€•to elucidate the processes of evolution itself.'---Julie
Zickefoose, Wall Street Journal'I donâ€t think it would be an
understatement to say that this is the book Iâ€ve been waiting for all
my life. . . . The very fact it can be understood by all is a real
credit to the author who has well and truly done her research.'---Grant
Brereton, Fancy Fowl'With its generous format and abundant
illustrations, this book might seem to be for leafing through, but you
will inevitably find yourself reading it. As appealing as they are
instructive, the pictures inexorably draw even the most casual of coffee
table book page flickers into the text. . . . Few are the books that can
be recommended with equal enthusiasm to birders, dog owners, biology
students, poultry breeders, and the merely (merely!) curious, but

Unnatural Selection is one of them. No matter what your interest, this
book, with its sophisticated but accessible text and its captivating
illustrations, will be one of the highlights of your reading year.'
---Rick Wright, Vermilion Flycatcher'[A] witty, exquisitely illustrated
book.'---Alison Abbott, Nature'Careful (or, perhaps, casual) selection
and cross breeding has produced chickens and pigeons of almost any shape
and color. How and why this happens, driven by our quest for novelty
often expressed in competition (the fair), is explained in text as
revealing as [van Grouwâ€s] drawings . . . . Her books are guides to
natural worlds otherwise unseen.'---Jim Williams, StarTribune Wingnut

book is very engaging and exceptionally clear. The illustrations, more
than just appropriate and accurate, are marvelous.'―Henry S. Horn,
professor emeritus of ecology and evolutionary biology, Princeton
University'I'm impressed with this book's content, organization, and
writing. The scholarship is impressive and conveyed in an accessible
manner.'―Greger Larson, University of Oxford Read more See all
