"DARWIN'S UNIVERSE: Evolution from A to Z," by Richard Milner, University of California Press, 496 pages, 378 black-and-white photographs, $39.95
This alphabetically arranged reference offers an overview of Darwin's wide sphere of influence. It shows the way in which ideas of evolutionary biology have influenced philosophy, law, religion, literature and popular culture. There are more than 100 new essays, including entries on animal behavior, women in science and on the latest finds of human fossils. It also contains many original discoveries.
"LANCE: The Making of the World's Greatest Champion," by John Wilcockson, Da Capo Press, $26 (nf)
As a cancer survivor and winner of the Tour de France seven times, no one has astonished the world quite like Lance Armstrong. Here, John Wilcockson draws on dozens of interviews with those who know Armstrong best to trace the athlete's remarkable, yet controversial journey in vivid detail. Armstrong also reveals details, many for the first time, of how his legendary training, near-fatal bout with cancer, repeated doping allegations and hostile European media all pushed him to reach the pinnacle of his sport.
